has to be new and not an auction site. I'm trying to gte Sears to price match...
I don't know if you can still find any but K-Mart, if you have one near you, had them on sale for $9! That was a few weeks ago but I don't think it was an ad sale. I think if was a getting them out of stock type sale. Smitty brought my attention to it. BTW, K-Mart is owned by Sears or vice versa.

I got a S10 for $13.99. I missed the sale but management honored the price as they don't sell well...
If your in there and see any Schrade multis make sure they are the USA ones before buying. Some one made the mistake of getting a newer one and it was crap. You'll probably see an assortment of uncommon tools in there like Buck and others...
I know where you're coming from 1jump; I'm a Victorinox man through-and-through, but every so often I put a Wenger in my pocket and it always surprises me how much I like them.

Not as good as Vic IMO but still good quality. I'm sort of intrigued by this locking main blade mechanism of this S10.
I've had 3 locking ones(all new production) and never had a problem.

I wouldn't put a lot of faith in the strength of that lock though, I've been shown a couple of examples where the corners have obviously rounded out and the lock simply doesn't 'bite' anymore and will let the blade fold anyway. That could well just be part of the old QC issues Wenger went through though and things might be a lot better these days. I don't think they would stand up to Cold Steel like testing though.
