Unknown Wenger model name help?

OK, I have checked all my old Wenger catalogs and other websites I normally use to check what model it might be and have come up short. Here is a standard size Wenger SAK with a load of tools and a locking main blade with "Backpacker Precise Wenger" printed on the blade. Its very close to the "Monarch" but it has the small clip point utility blade, a corkscrew and an older style fish scaler tool without the line guide thats different. I checked out Wenger.ch for European models but no luck. Anyone know anything about this one?

It's a new one on me, but then I'm far from an expert on Wenger's sadly $:-\$

I'm sure Neil will be along in a minute though

I don't know what it is but it's cool looking.

Unless someone can locate it in an old Wenger catalogue I think you could be out of luck getting a name. It wouldn't surprise me if it was exclusive run, much in the way SMKW have them from Victorinox. Only problem is that Wenger's records are somewhat spartan since the fire

Precise Imports Corp was the US and Canadian Wenger importer in the 80's and 90's. It is possible that they had a few variants in their lineup.
