Too bad it was run over

[Hickory n steel]

I just found this neat little Hoffritz in the parking lot at work.



It seems very well made ( in Italy, not sure by who ) but sadly the scissors don't slide all the way out.
It's a real shame because this is much cooler than the Victorinox classic.
The classic is better and more efficient in design but this thing is just neat and interesting.

Nifty.
Are you going to attempt straightening, removing the dents and such yourself, or take it to a band instrument repair/restoration shoppe for that?

I don't think it's possible to repair it.

I may just offer it to one of the fellow modders here to see what they can do.

It's a real shame, I got the scissors pulled out using my multitool and they cut so well, as good or better than Victorinox.
I had to push against a a hard surface to get the scissors back in.

Check out CEM Maniago knife or Latama knife on the bay. There are used ones for sale. Don’t see any current production.

Thanks for the Info.
I found this exact hoffritz on ebay that I could get for $12 to my door, but passed because the driver is twisted and overall the implements are in worse condition.

A quick search on Ebay turned up some very similar items from Latima, not the exact model at this time but I'm pretty sure they're responsible for it.
