Nice.  Is that middle one based on the original 120mm Ranger series?

I don`t know the name/number of the original vintage one.

The new one`s called "Switch2". Its not based on the 120 mm serie. The size is 104 mm

So, this is an actual product?  Really weird in that they'd still use the Wenger opener.

Also has the Wenger logo.  I don't think this is a current product.

If I am wrong, where can I get one?

No, this modern hobo knife was never in production for public, so its not available for sale. This knife was the last project of wenger before victorinox bought them, but they had no interest in producing this hobo knife. So wenger produced only 50 pieces as a farewell present for their big worldwide partners.

Wow very cool thanks for sharing.  I've meant to do a hobo knife someday.  Had no idea Wenger did this.
