Knife Find

[Ben X]

Well this last weekend I was able to come across some pretty rare knives and I was just wondering if anyone has an idea of what they're worth. I am tempted to keep one of them, the rest are all relatively unimportant to me but a collector would drool over them  . Alright here are the knives I picked up:

(Victorinox)

84mm Super Tinker with Square Phillips (I am tempted to keep it for all the 84mm mods I could do with the scissors)
91mm Golfer with Divot Tool and golfer logo (worn off now though)
58mm Princess
58mm Cavalier
84mm Gourmet

I picked a few more "uncommon" ones up like a couple of compacts and some 80's variants I'll use for modding, but no Scientist or Yeoman finds unfortunately. I'll post pics later when I get batteries for my camera.

  Don't you dare pull apart that 84mm Super Tinker  Unless its trashed of course. 

If its in fine fettle then we need to chat

I think the 84mm SuperTinker would properly be called a Salesman.

If it's in good shape, I wouldn't recommend disassembling it either. You can likely trade it here for a more beat up version or even just the individual parts.

Okay, here is the condition now that I've taken time to eyeball it:

Main blade: tip broken off, belly sharpened away, not good shape at all
Second blade: Sharpened away some, faces of blade scarred badly from stone
Square Phillips: Doesn't look abused at all, has the split in it for the meat cans, just noticed that, very subtle
Scissors: No nicks in blade, very smooth action, scissor spring broken
Cap Lifter: Tip was sharpened almost like a chisel, not sure why, but also not factory, still usable though
Can opener: dirty like rest of knife but not twisted; edge is slightly nicked in the middle
Reamer: Perfect, looks like it was hardly used. Could get buffed up on the edge but definitely best looking blade on the knife aside from the scissors
Scales: Read missing, front intact but missing tweezers and cross has fallen out
Keyring: still has the factory tiny keyring it appears

So you could put a set of scales on it and reshape the main blade, but the knife blades would be ugly. It really needs a nice tourist donor for handles and the knife blades. But as I said it's a great parts knife for the scissors and the phillips, you could do all kinds of 84mm Cadet/Sportsman mods.

And you're right Max, it is the Salesman:

Sod it then. Kill it 

  Just make something really cool from the corpse

So no one in here is interested in it? I'd love to pass it on if someone else who is nuts about 84mm scissors wants it; I am just myself not a big fan of scissors in general so it would just end up on a mod for a friend some day.
