Help indentifing a wenger securitè
on: December 13, 2025, 07:33:56 PM
Hello Ladies and Gents! I haven't been here for a while, but I stumbled with this knife on the flea market today and got it.
Seems to be a wenger securitè but not sure which one. I'm trying to figure out model and date for the knife.

These are the included tools

- main locking blade
- small clip point blade
- phillips screwdriver (with a patent marking)
- wrench
- scissors
- wooden saw
- metal saw / file
- can opener
- flat head screwdriver / bottle opener
- awl (on the back)
- corkscrew
- lanyard

I believe is a securitè because of the locking blade, but I don't know much about wenger.

Thank you!

SAKWiki doesn't list a model with that exact loadout. The Deer comes closest, varying only in the non-locking blade.

https://sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Deer

Though I can't help with identifying the model, the tang stamp points to a date of production between 1990 and 2008. Since it has the cross with a sort of red foil backing, I'd guess it's on the earlier end of that range. One of the Wenger gurus will have to come along and confirm that.

Nice find!

   The Wenger Deer comes with and without a locking main blade.  Also comes with and without a deer print.  See if this matches your tool set.  Best wishes.  Gary

Thank you both for the help! must be some weird short lived version I guess, but after I'm done cleaning it and printing replacement scales, this will see lots of pocket time  :climber:
I love the 85mm size for daily use.

Hey man! I’ve been away from collecting knives for a while but I think I will be back here more often!

BTW that knife looks like has never been sharpened, although the scales were pretty beaten up, weird!

Maybe it was tossed in a drawer and forgotten about for a few decades?  That would explain the wear on the scales.

By the way, for those who may not know him, this site wouldn't exist without Esteban, so make him feel welcome. He literally built MTO for us!

In addition to building Multitool.org, he also built the old SOSAKOnline site (for those that remember it) and I believe Kniferights.org for Doug Ritter, wasn't it?

I did built those websites, also a few for knifemakers back in the day. nowadays I'm working as a developer for some US startup ;-)

BTW, I 3d printed new scales with Flex PLA, the result is really nice! I'll post a picture later, and in case anyone needs it, here is the link for the model.

Thanks for sharing.   :tu:

I 3D printed some scales for my Vic Ranger and they've been going strong for over a year now.
May the best of your past, be the worst of your future.
