I recently got this Wenger Traveler Europa (1.92.14) which has a nice color and special emblem. Apparantly this model was from the Europe series which was part of the Wenger Star line. I don't have any date information on these yet. Judging from the packaging, it was not that long ago.(Image removed from quote.)
The Europa series includes 6 blade (Commander) and 7 blade (Traveler) knives with plastic handles. There is also a 7 blade version with smooth blue aluminum handles (#1.92.16), similar to the ones in the Dynasty series. The plastic and aluminum versions look identical; only way to tell them apart is by feel and weight. There is also an Esquire version. Star Series was apparently a name Wenger used in Europe at one time for its fancy versions, including the Europas, Dynasties, and Savannas. I don't have a precise date for them, but about 2000.Karl
.....Hey, I think I was lucky!Just found today in a local shop the aluminum version!despite having only three layers of tools, the knife is quite heavy.
That's fantastic... Love it... if you want to send it to the US just send me a PM.

They can also be polished so as to look like new. They are like standard silverware really.Price depends on condition and whether it has the original keychain and box etc.If you wait you should be able to get one for under $50 but most seem to go at around 80-100, plus shipping.

Golfer with long nail file...not a bargain, but worth every penny
The Tiffany ones are silver too.They have a mark as shown in the picture and originally come with the chain shown in the other picture.

As for gold in the grooves... well that's a good question. It looks like gold, and it would fit the purpose of this SE as the scale design follows the classic EBEL wave bracelets... but there is no halmark which also is not a definitive negative sign since it is only for accents and not the base.(Image removed from quote.)Adding one more:(Image removed from quote.)One more since people seem to really like this one. Maybe Vic will start doing metal scales on 91mm; it does weigh in at about 210g. Keeping a nice knife in a pouch is a good idea.(Image removed from quote.)

750 tends to mean 18ct gold... there are various number systems in place from different places.

Does this count ..... It is Swiss And it is Army .... it is a type of knife Picked this up today its the bayonet version of the Faschinenmesser for the artillery ,designed for cutting twigs and willow to build field fortifications.... I have seen many where the bayonet attachment has been blocked up as huge saw back bayonets were considered a tad unsporting The tip is quite heavy and broad and I would imagine would make short work of twigs (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)Oh and for scale (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)44 stamped on frog but that sounds about right to me it looks pretty much unused

I just got this one. I think it is the black beauty listed as a variant of the soldier on sakwiki. This is my first alox and I must say I am really enjoying it so far.
