[Mr. Whippy]

Amazing!  I've never seen those before.  Are they the standard 85 mm?

31 years old NIB, amazing.

They're also known as the Handwerker series. 93mm long. About a dozen or so different models. They seem to have been sold mainly in Europe; very seldom show up in the US. My personal guess is that they were Wenger's attempt to make use of the blades and tools in the Standard Issue in a wider range of knives.

A couple more of the Handwerker series. The lower knife with the bail has textured nylon handles. It's marked "74". The upper knife with key ring is marked "95".

Nice!!  Great Find!!  Wenger must have found some because for some reason they have been turning up lately with boxes and all.

I actually like the nylon handled ones, they feel great, really not crazy about the other newer plastic handled ones as user knives though.

I think officially Wenger had these labled as 95mm, I believer there is documentation to that affect.

I believe the big one ColoSwiss showed there is the largest Factory 93/95mm knife at 4 laters, as Vic never did produce a 4 layer Alox model that we know of.

 Those are very cool .

I think you're right. I have a downloaded page with what appears to be (in small, blurry letters) 9.5 cm.

Ya, checked a few ads and the brochure, most say 9.5 cm (or 9,5 cm for the european folks).  Here is a high-res brochure scan.

[ColoSwiss]

When you check SAKwiki under Wenger Models-Other, the Professionals are listed under 93mm, but there's no link to anything. Could you possibly establish a link to that scanned brochure?

Ya a lot of the Wenger stuff is messed up, and the series.  I'm slowing trying to clean it and fix links.  The series pages are messed up with last wiki software update and I need to split them up into smaller pages.  I've started it behind the scenes, but there never seems to be enough time.  Since they are messed up I hate to create a new one just right now for the Professional Series, so there is no link on that page to anywhere. 

I'll try to fix something up, since these knives are showing up more.

if there is more than two variations it would be worth expanding the wenger section to have 95mm... i understand with the VIP its easier to dump it in the other section

The plan would be that from the "Other" page There would be a link to another list, so all the models won't be on the "Other" page, that will just be a landing page that directs you to a page dedicated to 95mm series.

Right now I linked it to the later series brochure as Karl suggested.
