What´s the final verdict on these two?
An awl is better suited to open tied knots than a reamer is. The sharpened edge of the reamer will cut and damage the rope. The unsharpened awl will not do that very easily.So it all depends on what you find more important, an awl or a reamer.
Oh BTW, thanks for this useful review!!I wonder why Victorinox doesn't use on all its models Wenger's incredible good locks on the screwdrivers.
I wonder that as well. And why Victorinox doesn't offer evolution and evolution dual grip scales.
Sadly Wenger doesn't produce SAKs anymore,

.........But they do. Ever since they started integrating Wenger models in their knife lineup..........Also, Victorinox has recently released a Wenger-branded Wenger model (albeit in a grey Victorinox box, with Victorinox steel and blade-stamp)..........
Very nice side-by-side Sakpan!Quote from: Sakpan74Gr on November 18, 2017, 09:08:24 PMI wonder that as well. And why Victorinox doesn't offer evolution and evolution dual grip scales.But they do. Ever since they started integrating Wenger models in their knife lineup.Another big difference is that Wenger used softer steel for their blades (not sure about the other tools). Victorinox's blades therefore have a better edge retention but will chip or snap more easily than Wenger's, which would bend more before snapping.Of course, Victorinox-branded Wenger models now use the same (3 different) steels (I think) as the other Victorinox models.Quote from: Sakpan74Gr on November 18, 2017, 01:09:11 PMSadly Wenger doesn't produce SAKs anymore,Technically they still do. The Victorinox-branded Wenger models are still produced in the old Wenger factory in Delémont by the old Wenger employees.Also, Victorinox has recently released a Wenger-branded Wenger model (albeit in a grey Victorinox box, with Victorinox steel and blade-stamp).
