I found really great offer to buy Wenger S557, but I'm worried about one thing:On one side is regular Evo red scale and on the other side is EvoGrip red & black?On the Evo scale there is writing-Exclusivities and also on the box.Number on the box is 1 557 59 399.Is this real deal?
Here is an intersting SI/Soldat. Typically you would never have advertising on a Soldier, or at least Swiss only advertising if the knife has the federal shield, but here you have US advertising and the Swiss Shield. The knife is undated, and I presume they decided to do this after the 93mm was replaced as standard issue, but I don't know for sure.(Image removed from quote.)
Wenger Colonel or Oberst. An old-time SAK with more traditional tools including the small-blade vs. the more common nail-file on later Wenger models.(Image removed from quote.)

What is the blade combination on the 'Oberst'? I've never seen that name before, and am wondering if its a new model or only a different name.Thanks

here is a video 5-6 minutes into this video you will see the modified S557 exclusivities knife,. ps one side translucent but i would expect your into the same area, maybe others can tell more,
This is a knife I bought on ebay as well.Basically a Cyclist (with the small blade instead of the nail file, as usually shown in the models sold in Europe), but with a strange horse logo embossed on the front scales.
While taking pictures of the Spot Light for the wiki, I got a couple of additional shots.This is what I bought some time ago on ebay.I believe this is a Master Tool 13.The wiki shows a picture of a model with red Evo scales.Mine has standard green scales with the Orvis logo.I think the Master Tool 13 is quite a rare variation
interesting, i have never seen a horse icon on the scale, it reminds me about icons or symbols to remind or fit once hobby or interest,. it is in the correct place maybe, but it is or look to be made by a private person or so, first Wenger did use the embossed or what looks like a hot stamp type with color like you know, then the pad print, i have seen one time one or two SAKs that private people or owners have made engravings on them, hmm..
Francis,Looks like you've hit the Wenger jackpot! A lot of great stuff there.
....I believe this is a Master Tool 13.The wiki shows a picture of a model with red Evo scales.Mine has standard green scales with the Orvis logo.I think the Master Tool 13 is quite a rare variation
The Orvis was sold as the 'Orvis 13 Special Edition', and had a unique blade combination that only they offered at the time. Their stock number was 89R60000. Don't have the red handled version.....

Don't have the red handled version.I have a 'Horse' in near-mint condition, but have no info on it. Don't know if that's its name, or what its model number is.The 6-blade Spotlight without scissors was listed in one ad as the 'Executive Spotlight'. Its model number is 1 97 20.
see , here is the angle one usually see the icon, the skier got some angle but not like yours and the auction horse knife, the skier is a 1976 knife and from late 70s i have a few different icon knives with the old embossed or not sure what to call it hot stamped with color kind, later the pad print, if one see today the evolution knives got icon aswell, many of them have been changed, for example the best known backpacker is today a boot printps, the backpacker and the cyclist is angeled like your and the auction knife, so this mean your knife got the horse correct, so it seems to me your knife is genuine, hopefully others may tell..

....I believe, unless I was negligent, that the Master Tool 13 does not have a serrated blade, so the Orvis one would have a tool variation also. I'll try to double check this as I look at my Wengers for pictures. ...
