Are the black lines on the main blade meant to be decorative or something else
I like this model as well, but since I have the Mike Horn New Ranger, I've been waiting for a deal. I like the updated SUI1 version (183 I think) for the bit driver, but hate the Wenger can opener so I like the screwdriver on the 176. So I'm waiting for a better price or for Wenger to make a redundant tool version that has the inline screwdriver and the bit-driver (which I'm guessing they will never do). So if I see a 176 at a great price I'll buy it, and maybe the same for the SUI1 which I've almost bought a couple of times.

At least now I think I'll stop looking at the SUI1 and I think I'm donr with New Rangers for a while.... there is a Yellow one or two though.... No... I think between this and my other recent "Best Wenger" (to be pictured soon) I think I'm done with Wenger for a while.
I'd like one of these... But without the marlin spike. I just can't see a use for that. Any unneccessary width aggravates me.
I received the Alinghi 176 a few days ago. Not much time to play with it, but I was a little surprised because for some reason in my brain I had thought that it would be slimmer than the Mike Horn, but really it's not. ... and of course when you look at the layers and tools there is no reason it should be. So bigger than I thought, but otherwise no surprises. The case it came with has that extra eyelet for an extra tie-down I'm guessing, this makes the sheath look bigger than it is, and not as steath as expected for a black one. The small fine screwdriver has a much higher polished finish than I expected or that is dictated for a good working screwdriver. The scales on the shackle opener are great.Very nice tool... but maybe the 172 is still my favorite New Ranger, and I'm pretty sure I'd take the Mike Horn over the 176... but I still REALLY want the fine screwdriver from the 176 on the Mike Horn... that would be a perfect New Ranger.
Am'I mad? but I quite like the spiky thingy
soo what is this?? a new alinghi maybe??
ACK!! You're right, I missed it the first time! (Image removed from quote.)
