Wenger scrissors can't cut nails or paper properly - deal breaker.

I ruined more cans with the Wenger than the Vic, but I did like the pointed tip more.. nice hook/cleaner - tie there for me.

I think noone likes the Wenger Awl. It was a joke.

The Tweezers, Toothpicks and scales were worse too on the Wenger.

However: Wenger blade shape is fatter and nicer, pliers are nicer, nailfile is a great addition, wrench is great.

Well I don't need to worry about the Tweezers or Toothpick since I got the wood scales version.

This one plus a saw is what I ordered. Not to shabby for my first SAk imo.

I love wengers even the "not so functional" but really good looking  can opener. I don't even use it, but I relly like how it looks.

Tha T&T are more goog looking in wenger as well becouse they do not interrupt the factory form of the scales and work well to me. 

Recently I found my self buing a lot of wengers... more than I should.

Wonder why the Wood Scaled Wenger ditnt have a tweezer, i mean, you have Scales of Wood, and somethimes you have to put the wood out of your Finger.., and therefor you need a tweezer..

Is the Wenger you get a "S" Modell whit looking  Blade??

Like the Picture, i hope its no real handgrenade...

See now you got me wondering.  :think:

Might have to give it a go on the next patrol. Course then I will not know if its replacement will work.

Kinda like a suicide bomber. Don't get much practice.

I should use my Poor English Scills, on such a divicult topic..
It only makes confusion...
A weapon which ditnt work is realy bad for a Army, because the enemys mybe do have weapons which works, 
Therefore i hope the Handgrenade works..

But much more i hope, nobody needs weapons enymore, but sadly this wouldnd bee everyday..

The only Army Thing i like is the Swiss Army Knife :)

Never being stationed in Germany is one of a very short list of regrets about my career in the Army.

Would have loved it I am sure.

So I have been wondering. Between Vic and Wenger.

Better Saw?
equal

Better Can Opener? The Wenger one looks like it could be used as a weapon. No screwdriver end though.
equal
Indeed, great "weapon" :tu: but no small screwdriver :cry:
among other uses works as Victorinox reamer/awl.


Scissors. Seems since the Wenger are serrated they are just different, not better or worse?
Wenger's have smaller opening angle (as Top-Gear-24 already mentioned), are thinner, then not as rounded on "thumb-handle" as Vic's, but overall, if you don't need a clean cut, they do the job.
(Image removed from quote.)

Awl. I read somewhere here the Wenger Awl is not sharpened so the Vic Awl is more better?
equal as a punch, for reaming there is can opener; works with x-small phillips, useful as non sharp tool, kinda prybar etc.
(Image removed from quote.)

What say you masters of SAK knowledge?

No hook on Wenger :facepalm:
