Vintage Victorinox Super Tinker Transitional 1985–86 Crossbow 91mm MOLLY Logo For Sale

This is a transitional Victorinox Super Tinker (91mm) produced approximately 1985–1986, identified by a rare overlap of blade stamp and tool features. The main blade carries the classic “Victorinox Switzerland Stainless Rostfrei” front stamp, paired with the older Officer Suisseand crossbow back stamp. Victorinox discontinued the crossbow around 1986, placing this knife at the very end of that era.

At the same time, this Super Tinker includes the reamer/awl with sewing eyelet, a feature introduced around 1985, along with the backspring spacer, reflecting mid-1980s construction updates. The presence of the parcel hook alongside the crossbow stamp further supports late transitional production.

Tools include:

• Large blade
• Small blade
• Phillips driver
• Scissors
• Can opener with small screwdriver
• Bottle opener with large screwdriver & wire stripper
• Reamer/awl with sewing eyelet
• Parcel hook
• Tweezers & toothpick

A desirable late crossbow-era Super Tinker, ideal for collectors focused on Victorinox stamp transitions and tool evolution.

Please note: All of my knives are pre-owned and will naturally show signs of age and use. You may notice light scratches on the blades or scales, or small dents and nicks on the handles. Please do not expect them to appear brand new.

In some cases where I have multiple quantities, the photos may serve as a representative example and not the exact knife you will receive.

Each knife is given a brief external cleaning when needed and a touch of oil if the tools feel overly stiff. I don?t dive into frames with toothpicks or polishing agents ? these knives are essentially sold in the condition they were found. I do not disassemble, polish, or restore them, nor do I apply any factory-style refinishing. The blades are not sharpened; given the volume of knives I sell, it would simply be impossible to do so for each one.

What you receive is an honest, unaltered example of a genuine Victorinox (or equivalent) knife, preserved as found.
