Wenger Beauty - Traveller in Red Alox
« on: June 27, 2012, 12:44:57 AM »
Came across this beauty while I was looking for the blue Europa version, can't say I'm too unhappy about having to settle for this one.  This one is an advertisng knife though. I have no information on it, but I like it.

I have a blue version of the Gawain (not sure if that's its name). Never seen a red one. Great find!  :tu:

Hi, I remember you showing us the blue 'Gawain' just recently.  Now I need to find one of those and the blue alox Europa version.  The red one is a very nice shade.

It's great that after a few years of collecting and researching these one can still come across some great new ones or variations.  Maybe one day I'll find a couple of those Alox handled Vic 91mm models.

There are three full-size versions of of the Europa or Europe; a 6-blade (Commander) with plastic handles, a 7-blade (Traveler) with plastic handles and a key chain, and a 7-blade version with smooth alox handles.

I showed the Galahad (?) with the stag recently. I also have a Gawain (?) with a seated Britannia, similar the the design on some older British coins. Not sure if the names apply to these versions.

WOW! This is a beauty  :drool:

Unfortunately I have no idea about the logo.

Here is another Wenger Alox Traveler; this one has seen a few miles.  I think someone may have shown this recently, maybe before placing it on ebay.  It's a little rough, but still kickin'.

That red one is a beauty  :drool:
Rest is not idleness,
and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day,
listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is by no means a waste of time

Here's a better shot (repost) of the Eddie Bauer with pale gold-colored alox handles. Wenger's name for this blade combination is Adventurer. The alox Dynasty version is Galahad. Don't know what Bauer called it.
