Wenger's Jewelry Collection

[WWW]

I'm not a jewelry user but I would love to have some of these! I just hope the prices to be a lot better then the MSRP's.

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

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!

Wow the Whug is cheap

Oops- that should be $59.99.

The Pietra is interesting. But not $60 or even $40 interesting. I think either Wenger missed something about their customer base or I did.

It's an interesting quandary. Take the Whug for example $60 isn't necessarily expensive for a novel piece of jewelry, but I'm more of a tool mindset - $60 for a wooden whistle and a pair of tweezers ... 

... yet I'm still quite interested 

I think this is another one of those items that falls into "functional art" just like the items from another manufacturer whose work is often subject to discussions about value. To me Atwoods are overpriced (their value to ME is low) yet others will pay fortunes for them. I think this is a smart move by Wenger, and II hope it finds an appreciative audience

FWIW, it found an appreciative audience with me, and not just because the lovely Adriana took the time to personally walk us through it!

I have to agree. These are pieces of jewlery that happen to have some functional use as well as aesthetic. I don't think they are particularly aimed at the multitool carrying market. However the surfer, snowboarder, skateboarder. May find them appealing, and if you are looking for a particular style of chain and pendant. Why not get one with built in functionality.

I love the idea of the Pietra. Now if only I could replace that diamond sharpener with ceramic. That would make it ideal for touch-ups! It doesn't look TOO hard to do based on the pictures. I think it'd just be a matter of finding someone that sells the stuff. When I do though I wouldn't hesitate to buy 2 or 3 haha. Most of the other tools are things that I already EDC in the form of SAKs, Leathermans, etc

Oh, and the Ridge looks really classy to me for some reason. I might pick one of those up as is.

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.

It doesn't look like these got much interest but I might as well spread the information:

I contacted Wenger. A representative from AXEL Productions (I guess they are making Wenger Jewelry) said that the Pietra does NOT have replaceable insert.

Thanks.
