Questions about my latest two knife acquisitions, (a Victorinox and a Wusthof)... Some help, please...

That sleeve on the Vic box is on all the ones I bought in the mid 80’s. As mentioned above the printing on the sleeve is about the company, sticker on the end of the box is for the model. Very nice find at a great price. I have never seen a Wustof SAK before

Thanks, and also thanks for giving me some info on the packaging and it's possible vintage.

As for the Wusthof/Dreizack knife, I have yet to find any hints on when they were made. I will keep looking out for more info about them

It's more close to being like a SAK Spartan. But, it's not a pure copy of any SAK model.

The following link has it's description, and it's better than I would be able to do...

Dreizack

Here's that Puma SAK-a-like I mentioned. Not made by Puma; a contract knife. Just marked "INOX", Germany. Still nice.

Made under contract... I wonder by who?

No clue, but I've seen several SAK-a-likes with various scales and the same tang stamp.
This is why I questioned the maker of your Wusthof - glad I was wrong.

That looks a lot like the SAK clones Schrade sold in the 1990s, also made in Germany. Looks like the same tooling made them.

That's the way I'm leaning also. I have several ISC (Imperial Schrade) Century line models that are identical to Vic SAKs.
Found three different "Puma"scaled models like ISC on that auction site.
Here's an old ISC Century catalog I posted on a different thread:
