Any love for Wenger?

[basilio]

Glad you like the pear model and congratulations for your wood(s) collection.

A quick comparo with other 85mm EvoWoods. The pear is at the top left of the photos. United Woods and SAC present as well.

Nice collection! really like the evowood, glad that Victorinox are keeping it going!

[enki_ck]

Very, VERY nice comparison.

Marius, I'm guessing 2 of those are from the united woods set??

Great line up 

EDIT

Doh, of course they are, you've stated that quite clearly!!    tosh

What's the model four in from the left? Three layers, middle layer inline Philips and wrench.

  didn't think I'd seen it before.

[Marius]

Yes, that's the one. There is also a RangerWood 161 in series with the same SAC crest and also the 150 years anniversary logo.

Great collection of Evowoods! 

My light colored one doesn't look like that pear wood. Maybe it is an odd shade of walnut; or maybe they're using anything handy. Its an Evowood 14; what is your light colored one? (third from right)

Looks like olive wood.  My evowood 10 is very dark, the s557 is very light, I think that they stopped staining the wood, the s557 also had a rough finish. This is the early sales description:
The handles for each of these pocketknives are constructed from sustainable top quality walnut using what would otherwise be waste material from other production processes. The natural walnut, which is durable for light outdoor use, is colored in a rich dark stain to create individual shades and grain patterns in each knife, making every product a one- off.   
No stain on my s557?

Third one from the right of the photo is the one in Olive wood from United Woods.

Quite tempted to get an evowood s557, any one care to give me a 

Here you go.       Go for it!  I have a standard S557, and it's a great SAK.  You won't de disappointed!  And if you are, it's Kirky's fault.....

Why? Because I carry one most days at work?

Is any body who know these 2 knives ?

It seems they are not referenced on the Wiki nor in wenger catalogs...

This one :





And this one:

[enki_ck]

Those are some nice 17 variations.

Can't provide you with more info on them sadly. But I do have a question. Does the first one with the 2D phillips have a locking bottle opener? Maybe early 1980's?

No, the first one has not a locking bottle opener (and no patented), so I think it's early 1982

Very nice models. I sure would have liked if they had produced more of these. Such great obvious configurations you would think we would see more of these.

Haven't pulled this old Wenger out in a while.

I remember I started a thread on it, but don't remember what was said besides it is a bit rare and probably from around the 50's (i think). Any and all info including a value would be great! Thanks everyone.

Thanks. I got it from some guy off craigslist. I don't remember exactly what I paid, but I want to say it was $20 or $25.  I will probably never get rid of it.

I have a few examples of the first knife, but minus the saw. Mine have locking main blades (fully and partially serrated, and plain edge), and locking cap lifters/flat screwdrivers. Mine make IMO a perfect edc knife: they do everything an Explorer does (minus the magnifier, and lose weight from no hook ), but are so much smaller and lighter. The locking features are a real bonus too. I have them in red and black scales, also Eddie Bauer imprinted.
