Looking for a Victorinox Mauser

[CanRanger]

Hi does anyone know where I might find a Victorinox double balded Mauser? The older one with 2 blades.

Thanks

If you follow the link in my signature there is a chap there selling them. I warn you they aren't cheap as they are quite sought after.

Mauser? Is this a model or a German Army knife the swiss made for them?

I remember the Germans having a green plastic handled swiss-style knife.

 

[CanRanger]

Yes it has 2 blades and some other tools rather sturdy as well.

I used to have one. Badged Mauser but victorinox stamped on the blade. I think Survival Aids used to sell them. I lost it years back - perhaps demonstrates that red handles are better than green!

Hi guys, I still have a mauser and use it when I can, scout camps and stuff. Great little knife. I bought it out of a free equipment catolgue that came with "combat and survival" magazine in the late 80's. Paid, if I can remember, bout £15 got a olive green belt sheath with it aswell. Must admit it could do with a proper clean and a sharpen up. Have you tried finding one on ebay?

I went to a show over here last month, and one of the vendors had a bushel-sized tub of them -- some Victorinox, some by other makers. Condition ranged from excellent to "experienced" but fully functional. They were $10.00 each.
(To be clear, these had green plastic scales and long spear blade, saw/can-opener/srew-driver, awl, and cork-screw.) He said the price was going to rise "some" in the near future.

How about a Farmer? It has the "beefed up" blades. It is a Victorinox Soldier, the Swiss Army's issue knife, with the addition of a saw.


The Mauser is available, although not cheap at $79.50..
Sosak Mauser..

The guy on Sosak also sells the Victorinox Safari/Trooper. Basically exactly the same as a Mauser, minus the 'extra' Mauser clip point blade. !!Half the price!! The Alox Farmer is also an excellent cheaper, though slightly smaller alternative.

They have "discontinued item" under the pic and you can't order them.

I will be loosing myself n the swiss sites thats for sure.

Thanks again

Does this mean i have to retire my immaculate Victorinox Mauser, complete with box, as a collectors item now ?

The German army issue knife is very similar to the Mauser- if you search international ebay for bundeswehr messer you will find them being sold in Germany for a couple of Euros.

Of course, it has an eagle instead of the Mauser logo.
