I bought a small SAK at a flee-Market. It is the same size as a Classic, but the only tools it has are a knife blade and a file. Anyone know this model? (sorry no pics)

The it sounds like Princess which is a retired and no longer produced model. If that is what you have, this site claims that it is a collectors item and could be worth quite a bit. Although this site says it has tweezers and toothpick, I don't see them in the picture. I also have an old catalog that lists the Princess as containing:

1. blade
2. nailfile
3. key ring

That seems to be the one, the tip of the blade on mine was chipped and I had to file into a proper shape. Do you think this will greatly affect any value the knife may have?

Thanks for your help, I had previously looked on theat site but couldnt find it.

No problem. Those old catalogs come in handy sometimes. I got this one in Switzerland back in 1986.

I don't really know how to value these, but you could probably replace the blade - better yet Victoriniox's lifetime warantee should have them replace it for the cost of postage.
