Wenger 08 SI
on: January 26, 2009, 01:43:33 AM
Got Vic 08 alox Soldier and waiting to get the new style OH 08 and 09. Wenger announced a limited run of the alox 08 SI, I've sent them an email a few weeks ago to which they haven't replied. Any clue on where to get one? Thx V.

For any SAK related stuff you are best to contact fveap@sosakonline.com since he has a line right to the top at Wenger.

Got Tim's reply, he said he don't have any in stock, and didn't mention any coming in. Def can you pull some strings with Wenger and get the 411 out to the world? I'd like to have one for my collection.
Thx V.  :cheers:

Sory I didn't mention that I have a message into Wenger re: availability. If they have them, I will get some, Tim.

I wouldn't mind getting one as well, given that will be the last Wenger SI for awhile (ever?).

From what I hear they are planing to continue making the SI, but not sure about the year stamp on the main blade. The 08 is the last official true SAK (Swiss Army (Contract) Knife)) coming from Wenger, and they said that a limited number will be released for collectors.  :cheers:

Just over a month ago, January I think, I bought:

Victorinox Soldier- '08 stamped blade (they fullfilled my request)
Wenger Standard Issue- '04 stamped blade (they didn't fullfil my request, none in stock???)
Victorinox Book/Soldier gift set- '05 stamped blade (probably older stock)

Thx John. I got a Victorinox alox and new 08 Soldier models (not too hard to find), but Wenger is ever eluding. The only Wenger SI that I have is also an 04 (seem very common).  :cheers:

I bought a 08 Vic alox Soldier and an 05 Wenger SI from Tim last year. The 04 SI does seem to be quite common. Hope to get the 08 alox SI when they become availible.
What? Enablers! Are you serrrrious? Where? I dont see any.

It should look just like any other SI, the difference being in the blade stamp.

I wish Wenger had other alox knives.

They do, Patriot is one of the models with smooth alox scales, it resembles Vic Secretary. Difference being in small blades. Wenger is a clip point, and Vic is spear point.

I'd like to see what uniqueness factor Wenger would incorporate into their line of alox SAKs, if they were to make them.
