I have a champ from the 90s, and the tools are all great, but I mostly find myself needing pliers and a blade. It's great for.outdoors though.

I actually just finished cleaning up a Swiss army knife I found in a house I was cleaning out. I had the scales off, because it was super nasty, and they were solid in the back, so i'm guessing it's oldish, which might explain why I can't figure out which model it is. Everything sizeable I find has the hook, and mine, unfortunately, does not.

You seem to know a lot about them. Any idea what it is, or where I could look to figure it out?

@constantokra That's interesting. I'd check SAK Wiki or field it with the folks on r/victorinox (they also have a discord server).

The main tools are identical to the swiss champ, but the back tools are a bit different. There's also no sewing eye on the reamer/awl. So maybe it's an older version of the swiss champ. The newer one also has plus scales so it has a pen included which you would see the slot for on this side of the scales.

Thanks! I checked the wiki, which I didn't.know existed, and it's a 7 layer champion, from between 1977 and 1985. Apparently that model had a lot of changes in its lineup, the older models did not have hooks, and the even older models only had 6 layers.
