Any lefties here? This is a left handed Wenger Traveler. Several tools are specifically made for left handed users. Includes a left turn corkscrew, nail nicks on the opposite side, can opener with cutting edge opposite side and even a left handed tweezers! I just love the logo symbol for left handed users Wenger made for these. It looks like one of those caution signs with your hand cut off!

Cuscadi orange G-10 Victorinox Camper.

I've almost pulled the trigger a few times on their blue G10 climber.

Nice choice!

Hahaha I like that symbol, looks like a flashlight with a diffuser

Got these in a lot a bit ago.

Super Tinker:

With Sheath:

Serrated Traveler:

With Sheath:

'98 SwissTool (This was a pleasant surprise, when I got it the file had a slight curve to it like someone had been pushing too hard against it, but it straightened out fine. And other than that the only sign of any use was some packing tape residue on the two blades

):

It came with a Ka-Bar sheath, kind of a smurfy color, not olive drab, but more green than grey:

Not a bad lot for less than $50.00

Kinda looks like foliage green - good deal either way

Thanks

, and right your are

Couldn't figure why the military would want an off color like that, but apparently foliage green blends better against light colored background camo, even better than desert tan. Who knew

I like the Wenger and Vic logo'd sheaths as well.

Thanks, they are nice. Not something that I would have necessarily bought on their own, but they may find some use.

Is this worth anything? I am not familiar with Alox.

It's a Soldier with keyring; one of the few years the Soldier was made with one, for whatever reason. Quite a few were sold through Lee Valley.

No pictures yet but this morning I paid for a Wenger Handyman that I won on a popular on-line auction site . It looks to be in excellent condition and I am excited as I have wanted one for a long time .

Hey Mercury,

You and I appear to have similar taste, I love the explorer and ive noticed we both also like the Blast.

Man I'm a huge fan of the blast and Explorer both! I can't find anything I like better than the blast, I am bummed they are retiring it. I really hope the Rebar fills it's shoes.

You will love that knife! I have the RangerGrip 178--same knife, different color--and I think those big Wenger's have the best saw blades of any production knife currently on the market. I use mine all the time. I will offer a suggestion, though. If you haven't already, order the Wenger holster for your knife. That will make carrying this beast a whole lot easier!

I hope you will post some pics once it arrives.

Cheers, mate!

Though I don´t prefer the jagged edges, it looks fantastic and I believe it will serves you good.

I'll do my best! I had a lot of difficulty finding any good reviews of it, so I was thinking of doing one myself, even though I don't have any experience with doing reviews. I thought it'd be nice to make one available though. Once it comes in I'll certainly post something about it.

Another 'reswiss' laser-cut acrylic scaled Classic arrived with today's mail, this one in blue...

Sounds good mate. My one and only tip when it comes to writing reviews is to try and avoid statements like "this feels like it will be a good saw..." Much better to be able to definitively say "after using it to cut down an entire redwood I can happily say this saw is better than any other I've tried".

Now there is nothing wrong with the first style of statement, but I always think of it as more of an 'initial impression' rather than a full blown review.

nuphoria · **Reply #2754 on:** March 24, 2012, 02:02:02 PM

Like that lumberjack contraption - is the saw long enough to be useful?

long, Yes

Got this nice little Wenger Handyman in the mail today .

I have wanted one for several years so am really happy to finally get one .

Heinz Doofenshmirtz · **Reply #2757 on:** March 24, 2012, 10:15:03 PM

Thanks Gareth! Good advice; I'll definitely keep it in mind when the knife comes. Tracking says it's supposed to be here Monday. I've got classes all morning, but I should be able to make some time in the afternoon to take it outside and find a few things to cut up with it. I only have my iPhone camera, but I'll take some pics, and see if I can do a little bit of video even.

badwolf · **Reply #2758 on:** March 24, 2012, 10:31:58 PM

I picked this up on ebay UK, Wenger Watchmaker 85, branded 'maxell' what a nice, slim and compact tool it is
