Wenger
on: March 14, 2013, 03:29:10 PM
Well I found out this morning that Wenger is going to be no more, assuming the parent companies name of Victorinox. I don't know why this came as such a shock to be honest, I had figured Wenger's days were up once Victorinox bought them out. Regardless, I haven't been around the MT and SAK world lately to know it until today.

In a sort of homage to Wenger...I have a few photos of part of my Wenger collection.

Did you stop buying Wengers? That might be why they weren't making enough money, you seem like a large portion of most MT companies' sales. :)

Thanks Dan, that's a pretty good assortment including Alox.  I will miss Wenger as well...

Have you got a Wenger Giant?  I would love to see pics of various angles of that if you do.  Its an oddity for sure, but not something Ive seen many photos of.
PM me or email sakmodder [at] gmail . com if you are looking for custom SAK work.

I never could see the need for a Wenger Giant. Thus I do not have one. Sorry.

Nhoj, that could be it.  :D

For some reason, I'm quite a fan of Wenger's Workman (or Worker) series, their take on Victorinox's Pioneer line.  And as always, Dan, wonderful collection. :salute:

nice collection!

I believe the majority of the Wenger knives will still be made after 2014
