Wenger's Jewelry Collection
« on: January 18, 2012, 04:39:41 AM »
These are one of the things I was really looking forward to seeing at SHOT this year- Wenger's new functional jewelry collection called HypeX.

The first one is called the Pietra and features a diamond sharpener on one side and a firestarter on the other.









Next up is the Wyss, which features a fold out can opener (tucks under the red panel when not in use), pry bar/wire stripper combo, 10mm wrench and a bottle opener.









Next up is the Whug, which is a set of beefy tweezers wrapped around a wooden whistle.







The Buss is next with two concealable screwdrivers.







The Ridge has a number of different wrenches, one of which doubles as a bottle opener, and the pry bar end can also be used as a wire stripper.



There's another one called the Corkoran which is a corkscrew, but it was not ready for presentation at the show, and so we didn't see it.  I have some stock images from Wenger that I can post later on.

I think the Pietra would be cool as a keyfob, or maybe on a lanyard attached to an Alox SAK or a nice "gentleman's" knife.

I love the idea of this and would be perfect for me. I used to wear jewelry, but years back stopped wearing any jewelry. I have really been wanting a necklace, but do not want to wear gold or silver or anything flashy really. I also have been wanting a small pry bar to add to my EDC but if added to my keys they would be to bulky so that idea is out. Well these cover both those needs plus quite a bit more.  :tu:


The Wyss is ideal and the Ridge is a close second.

The great thing about these is they are all priced well under $100.  MSRP (and I'll have to confirm this shortly, Bob's still asleep!) is about $65 for most of them although a couple of them are a bit more.  Figure on $50 (or less) as a street price.

Here is the MSRP for these tools now that Bob is awake and I can turn a light on!  :P

Pietra- $59.99
Buss- $64.99
Whug- $5.99
Ridge (metric)- $49.99
Ridge (Imperial)- $49.99
Wyss- $99.99

Remember, these are MSRP, so street price will be a lot better, and they are supposed to be available through regular dealers, which means if you want one (or more), make sure you send Tim a message!

I am not a jewelry wearing person. Got a wedding band and that is it. I remember back when I was a teen I wore some chains that turned green and a nugget ring. I stopped after high school since it was just not my style.

I like the functionality of these pieces and the designs too.  :salute: Wenger always kicks it out there with the new and strange. :pok:

I really, really like the idea behind these.  I will say it's not for me, as I don't wear jewellery, but that's a personal choice and I still think these are a great bit of design. :cheers:

I wonder if the Pietra has replaceable inserts, or if you'd have to send it off for replacement if you eventually wore one out. :think:
