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.

Gorgeous knife!

 :cheers:

Elsener did make a couple variants based on the 100mm Soldier that had a smaller screwdriver that would likely fit a modern Phillips screw.  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.

I'll just take the 200/S please!  :like:

Good, I was eyeing the 204!

 :D :D

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.

Great buy Thisjk! :like: :tu: :tu:

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.
