It says wenger delemont switzerland stainlessIt is genuine, just an older model. There is a forum thread here that shows several older Wenger models that look similar to yours.I have tried that can opener before. That old style can opener is DANGEROUS so be careful. The proper way to use it is to stab the tip straight down into the can and "lever" it against the can edge into the "v" area and push down on the knife to cut the lid and move it as you go. I found it could easily slip out of the can and you could cut yourself also on the rough can edge.

Dog-leg can opener, spring scissors (Vic spring in mine), cut rather than etched nail-file (mine is broken) and shape of tools all look the same. Apart from 40 years of use and abuse.

I made the Aiuminium scales after the originals got broken/lost over 20 years ago.(Image removed from quote.)WOW,,, NICE, Thanks for the pic's you are the right the tools do look the same.

Good man. If you can get some pics showing just how you go about using it that would be fantastic.
Here's a site with the winners of the Victorinox Fashion contest.http://victorinox.jovoto.com/ideas?filterby=prizes&size=big&sortby=ratingAlso go into Google Images and type in 'Victorinox Jovoto' for a lot of other entries. I think a lot of the runner-ups look better than the winners (everyone's a critic).
