Does Wenger can opener fit on Vic 91mm?

What's up fellas. Anyone know if the 85 mm Wenger can opener (from a regular Wenger, not Evo) can take the place of the 91mm Vic Can opener? Any gotchas?

Don't have any wenger, but am interested too.
Possibly it might not fit 91mm, but 84mm? Just speculating.

Im not even sure if I have any wenger parts, but I'll go see.

The nearest thing I have to hand for a comparison, is the Wenger can opener and Vic Pruner blade (which fits in the same can opener slot). The tang on the pruner blade protrudes further from the pivot hole than the Wenger can opener, so the backspring might feel a bit soft. Also the kick on the Wenger can opener sits a lot lower, which might mean the Wenger can opener sits high in the closed position. No 91mm backspring to hand to run a test on though

I didnt find any wenger can openers, so cant help.

Thanks guys. Would be nice if it did work, but sounds like that might be too hopeful. I find the Wenger opener to be similar to the inline awl in terms of a hard use utility blade/poker.  Definitely not as good, but in the same ballpark and I'd be happy with it as a substitute if it could share a layer with the bottle opener....
