Man I love that one! Super find! Maybe a transplant, but more likely a special run for some purpose or some one.
I picked up this one at the weekend not sure if it is a lithos as the tool set does not match but the scales are stone.Nice serrated blade which is odd as well
I recently came across the Wenger Lithos model when one sold on ebay a couple of days before Christmas for a song. This is an Esquire like model very similar to the gold Macao knives, but featuring stone inlays for the scales, rather than the laquer finish. Since then I've got a bit more info, but the well has run dry.Does any one have any information on these like, introduction date (maybe 1992?), markets they sold in, different versions available (I've identified 3 so far).A related question; these were markeded under "Wenger Max" or "Wenger - The Max" branding, any information on other models that were produced for this line?"Wenger offered a Max de Wenger line with “solid gold” scales inset with lapis lazuli encircled by 100 diamonds, tools plated with an alloy of gold and titanium. Price? Don’t ask."The SAK Owner's Manual, 2011
