Superb review buddy! Very detailed.
Thanks To Grant for lending me the tool And that's a Vic Huntsman and CS Ghurka Kukri for sale BTW sorry for the crappy pics, I'm just getting used to my camera
though you can tell it's a Wenger by the tools not snapping into place as they ought to.

Can/Bottle OpenerWhile usable I didn't much like it as it pierced the tin far to much making it a lot slower than is really necessary, and leaving a less than clean cut, which is a pain if you recycle all your tin's as i do. I didn't test the bottle opening facility as I'm a tea totaller, but given the size of the tool, it'd probably have enough leverage to catapult the bottle cap into orbit
So is the Wenger grip still made? And who do I have to sleep with to get one?
They have been discontinued, so get them while you can!Def

Nice write-up Mike! What are your thoughts on the wire cutter? It being an "anvil" type, I find it to work better on some types of wire, others not so good.
Great review makes me even more sore that I turned down the chance of a Swissgrip :twak:Stupid Boy

Great review Mike I enjoyed reading that . Its a really nice tool with great build quality .Dunc
What about the hex bit driver on the side of the tool? It seems like a great idea, but I've never had an occasion to actually use it.
