Tang stamp question
on: July 22, 2017, 03:32:54 PM
Hi everyone!

So I got a free SAK with the purchase of another one yesterday.

It has got bright red eco handles, which I think means it's early 80's?

Anyway, one side is stamped:
VICTORINOX
switzerland
stainless
rostfrei

Strange thing is, the other side is marked:
ELINOX
switzerland
stainless
rostfrei

Is it common for such a SAK that is has got both Victorinox AND Elinox stampings with the same bottom text?? Never seen it before myself...

Also: awl without sewing eye, but this might not mean it's really old since it's an ecoline, right?
