What model is this Victorinox?

Post by tpm_989 »

Picked up an older (I think) SAK today and can’t pinpoint exactly what it is or when it was made.

It looks like a camper and it has a grooved corkscrew but I can’t place its age based on SAKwiki. Any help?

Thanks for the reply. I went through a lot of that thread but didn’t find much as far as dating what I have.

According to the wiki and based on the large bail, the clip point second blade, and the Victoria tang stamp I figure it’s 1957-1969’ish. Was hoping a resident expert could back that up a bit.

I have a 1993 SAK catalog and it shows a knife with the same blades as yours called a Camper.

Yes, it is a Camper. The bail and the small clip blade date the knife to pre-1970 but it is hard to pin it down to an exact age range.

According to Sakwiki, the small clip blade may indicate your knife is older than 1973. It was replaced with the now familiar small spear blade.
