I carry this 49 Wenger Soldier from time to time. Its not the most useful tool though. The blade is excellent, but the flat driver is a bit big and thick for most modern screws.

However, like most variants on the 100mm Soldier frame, I haven't seen one in the flesh--just a knife similar to the Farmer, which added a saw. I was lucky to have found my 1942 Elsener for under $20. '42 catalog page from the Wiki. (Image removed from quote.)I'll just take the 200/S please!

After I give this a good cleaning, and refurbishing, I will be carrying this 84mm Artisan/Fieldmaster I just picked up for $10 this past weekend. I think its a mid to late 60s model.

I recently added this beautiful Vic to my carry rotation. It's a model 245ka, basically a Small Climber. I date it to between 52 and 57. Really cool to see a long nail file on an 84mm.
