John, it was sold as a Woodsman, same toolset as the Huntsman of the time (1960's) minus the scale tools and long awl.
I hope this helps mate

I have a photo of a "Tourist" SAK 1946-1951, which has the same tools as the photo above and on my SAK, except the layout of the tools is different and the "Tourist has a "Birds Eye" rivet which this one does not. So I guess the "Woodsman" is what I have too. Thanks. John

Interesting! I have what I believe to be a Woodsman from the mid 1970s. Same tools as the current Huntsman but no toothpick and tweezers. The small blade on mine is a pen blade, and it doesn't have a bail. My wife bought it for me. She said that she spent a long time looking at all the available models and decided that was the best choice. Needless to say, it's one of my most cherished possessions!

Very possible the Woodsman name has been used for a few models over the years mate.

1) In my humble, potentially (probably is) biased opinion, she was not mistaken. 😇:thumbsup:
I've carried a huntsman consecutively for over two decades. 🤯 😳 (Over the last half decade I've swapped it out for a Hercules, or Companion, for short periods.)
I also consecutive carried a "Signature" for a few years longer on my keychain. A couple years ago I upgraded to a Mini Champ.
Amazingly, the Signature's ink pen is still writing on the original refill! It hasn't dried out, like several of the BiC Stick's I've had over the years.
If the Mini Champ's pen is the same, I expect it will last longer than I have left on this planet. 😳 (I doubt either will outlast how long I'll be in the planet. 🙄 )

2) I fear you would "be inna pickle" if it wasn't cherished. 🤔
