The only modification I'd like to see is across the board use of the hollow rivet - best of both worlds as it is comfortable to hold even with a bail, and you can leave it out if you're one of those oddballs who doesn't like a lanyard.  :D

I actually hated the bail with a vengeance on a previous Wenger SI. It is easy to accidentally close the main blade on the bail, which causes a nice big ding in the edge. I said bad words on more than a couple of occasions because of that freaking bail...


Lmao, I feel like I can't get a solid grip with the bail in the way. And yes, my SI has a song or two in the blade as well

Agreed, the way the bail sits proud of the knife and the fact it moves freely don't really help get a good grip. I much prefer some thick cord through the hollow rivet.

I have a SI with bail as well as two older SAKs with bails.  I feel the bail adds a lot of character to the older ones.  On my SI I'm neutral as to looks but I do like how a lanyard attaches for easy retrieval.

If I'm Victorinox, I'm hating bails because I don't want to repair or replace a bunch of SAKs because idiots chip their blades on the bail. 

Got to a keyring and problem is solved.
