Can`t identify this knife. Its not an automobile nor a climber.





www.fuchs.ch is a helicopter and electro-technic company. I could understand the tool combination (scissors replaces metalfile). Maybe it was a special order for their workers. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot.

Nice old model Victoria stamped and tweezer head of alu?
Looks like a 84mm salesman with a small screwdriver instead of the small blade.
But this is a 91mm Model, right?

Yes its a 91 mm model. Alu tweezer.

I also love this tool combination. I'm no fan of the metalsaw.

Nope, I believe it's the first time I see one like it.

Seems blue was the color of choice for technician type special orders, as both HP Climber and Telemechanique used it.

 :D I do know, as it turns out. Ulli had it right in his original post - it's a special order by Robert Fuchs AG. The oldest one of these I've seen is a Climber variant with the technician screwdriver from the early 1960s. As is common with a lot of advertising/custom knives from this era, it was made as a part of the Elinox line:



This is an early use of the hot-stamping logo process, and on this knife it has since worn off unlike the one in Ulli's pictures. It's not clear how many custom runs they ordered, but Ulli's knife dates to 1973 and shows that they moved to the Super Tinker variant by then. This variation continued into the 1980s, this time with "Helikopter" added to the scales:

Thanks a lot Jazzbass. Really great information!

Maybe I should order some custom knives from victorinox for my own company...
I think that you have to take a minimum of 50 knives. Does anybody know? Maybe the flat screwdriver is still available.

I thought that SAKWiki contains information about all Victorinox models.. but Engineer, Fisherman Plus... now Fuchs Customs. Every your post brings a new knife...  :facepalm:

There's a really great knife store near me and I was talking to the owner this weekend. He's a Victorinox dealer (amongst others) and he was talking about how he'd love to get a custom run of Cadets made but the minimum order was either 500 or 1000 - more than he could move through his store. Maybe being from Switzerland you can get around this limitation? I know Victorinox bends this rule for SwissBianco and VSAKCS, so it is possible to get small runs made.

I don't really know to be honest. Maybe I'll look and start an unusual knife thread.

P.S. By the way - do you collect only officer's series (84/91mm), am I right?

Correct. I also have a nice sized 93mm and 58mm collections as well, but I don't really specialize in those and buy them opportunistically. I'm actually contemplating selling both right now to fund other hobbies. The 84mm and 91mm stuff is staying, though  :D

I don't really know to be honest. Maybe I'll look and start an unusual knife thread.

Looking forward to that one. :tu:

I have a post-it on my computer monitor that says:

Do do: Hoffritz LE 1, Hoffritz LE 2, Angler Plus, Deluxe Angler (Waterman), Modeler, Woodsman, Master Fisherman.

There might be a few more and I might have already added some and it's an old post-it. :facepalm:

With ICanFixThat MIA and basilio busy, I don't get a lot of help with the wiki and I have a real job too. ;) I've been postponing doing the whole Delemont series as I want to make tool pages for all the tools and not just link them to Vic/Wenger pages we have as there were a few changes there.

I'd love it if more people would get involved in working on and filling the wiki with new info. marduk adds some info occasionally but it's a huge area that needs monitoring and adding new models or old ones that are missing.

I think I might make a How to with most important wiki stuff but you can simply take a look at an existing page to learn the code.

Loads, they have been made for 130 years and during that time there had been a lot of models that are collectable now. Depends on condition and scarcity.

Are you looking to sell it all as a lot, list it separatly or continue collecting? Either way, you've come to the right place. :) Most of the models you can identify by using sakwiki. That's the swiss army knife wiki. It's a sub-site of the forum. If you need any more help, just ask. And pictures with all the tools open are a LOT easier to identify
