And a few more.

Coloswiss. What is the knife with the long driver and the hawksbill blade? Looks like a 1908 variant?

Very cool looking knife!

That would make sense yes, i wasn't aware the US ones didn't have that stamp and just assumed they did  :tu:
The patent of this switchblade knife was the nr 307767 from november 11th 1884.

Could it be that the patent expired until 1907 when wenger startet using the 3 headed logo? You don`t find these knives with the wenger blades in the US, but in western europe.

No info on it, but it appears to be an old electrician's knife, with the hawkbill a wire stripper.

Look what I found in the corner of a fishing shop this morning...
New, with a few fingerprints on the blade and a crumpled box.

Tons of Wenger love here, though I own way more Vics. This SI gets daily pocket time.You can probably tell from the dirt.

Thank you. My Dad gave me this knife when my son was born in 97. He got one for me and one for my son. It's date stamped 97 on the blade. Dad was a funny guy. He always sought out Wengers because everybody else was into Vics and he thought it wasn't fair. Lol. This knife, regardless what else I'm carrying, is with me if I'm dressed.

I wish I'd picked up one of those old alox Wengers back when they were cheap as chips! Now they cost a fortune and as they are functionally no different to Pioneers I can't bring myself to buy one.
Actually there's a whole bunch of Wengers I wish I'd bought before they became extinct. Though there never was a time when the Porsche designed Wengers were a bargain!
Did anyone EDC one of these? They look pretty much indestructible.

I'd love to catch one of those Porsche design ... But for now, I am more than happy with my ST14 ! :-)

So much love for them that I even search for maimed and crippled Wengers to care for and find a place to live  :salute:



They're veterans after all, of a breed that does not longer exist!!!  :ahhh
