Almost a SAK minichamp

[Bluntedgenives]

I have a new find that I can't ID. It has 7 blades: cuticle/pharmacy Spatula, cut & picker blade, scissors, nail file/cleaner, measuring/SD, pen blade, emergency blade. Almost a minichamp, but missing the newer cap lifter/wire stripper/Phillips SD. Also has tooth pick & Tweezers.

58mm, tang has 4 lines: Vic, Switzerland, Stainless, Rosterei.
Any ideas?

Any ideas?

It's an older version of the minichamp.

Thanks for your quick response. I didn't know about that reference. I mostly collect BSA knives. Any idea of the general timeframe of this minichamp
knife?

Sorry, no. You might have to research that yourself unless somebody else knows and can provide a reference.

It's probably at least pre-1994.

"The current version of the MiniChamp was introduced in 1994 (US availability). It was preceded by an earlier version that was one layer thinner, omitting the Cap-lifter / Combo tool, and with a toothpick instead of the pen in the scales."
