Aaw... I'm sorry to hear that but I thank you nonetheless for joining me for more than half the challenge! When will you have to stop?

Anybody cares to pick up where Borg left off? (or... "... will be leaving off"? Sounds weird...)

Day 195

Wenger Swiss Sportsman - L. L. Bean



The two other little fellas still haven't gone through the "latest sak" thread but insisted on being on this picture since they've been in my "in-box" for quite a while now

I realized that among my 5 Wengers there are only 2, 85mm so I could follow your posts and join for a couple of days after you finish ...  :D :cheers:

You're going out with several bangs Borg.

Day 198

Wenger vintage "Viking".

Trying not to make this month to boring... I'm saving the thicker knifes so I'll include these vintage pieces even though they're few mm shorter than 85mm.

And I just noticed that the thread says 84mm which is perfectly wrong... If a kind mod could come around and fix the title and my 1st post to say 85mm instead of 84, I would forever be grateful.

19 S557



And at that i will hand over to our Caballeros espanoles  :SAKnight:

I have carried Wengers regularly over the years so i never really expected any surprises, each has its place and i would be happy to edc any of them, i had noticed though one has a blade lock that's easily bypassed and one has a mag glass missing, i will have to see what i can do about those, the rest i am pleased with, my main issue with these knives is remembering their model names/numbers , i really need to write them down..big thanks to Sakwiki :tu:

Oh and 19 is such an odd number, i need to rectify that  :D

Congrats on the 19 days! Thanks for joining me!
I have a couple of easily bypassed locking blades in my Wengers... Wonder why and how it could be fixed...

In the meantime...

Day 199

Another Wenger vintage "Viking"

It's in a worst overall shape than the previous one but that one had its main blade snapped in half...

Love the shield on that  :tu:

As a little bonus i made up this one from parts, if we can just ignore it has a Vic blade and brass liners we can call it a Basic 62  :tu:
Interesting to note the original liners have thumb nail and corkscrew cutouts already cut although the original knife had neither, i'm guessing the basic 62 was a parts bin special..makes it cheaper i guess

Very cool piece! The brass liners give it a bit of a vintage look. Very well done!

Day 200 (!!!)

Wenger 1.02.00 from the Standard series

The blade surely has seen better days but I took better care of it today than the day it probably snapped

Really like the particular toolset. If I had to give it a name it might have been "little Neeson" :D

So, I humbly join ... Only for two days. I'll follow Borg's numerals, I'm not so good at artistic pictures... But here it goes.

#21 Blackout 10.X 



This one makes a good Yin & Yang pair with Victorinox Christmas 2016.




Let's hope someone else can join to complete all 30 days together with Syem :cheers:

Day 201

Wenger "Traveler" - putting it in quotes because this is probably older than that name.

I'm loving everything about this piece. From the crest that almost looks like an inlay with enamel (Probably isn't but still feels very "real" next to hot-stamped crests or stickers) down to the old-school scissors. The file's tip is a bit sharpened on both sides. The can opener and cap lifter have that "old modern" look to them. The 5 twist fluted corkscrew is awesome, so is the sharper(pointier?) awl. The blade's shape seems rather unique too. It doesn't seem to have been reshaped and definitely looks like the ancestor of the newer Wenger blade shape. Oh and did I mention the bail? :D

I think the Pat. in the flathead is for the locking feature (driver lock under pressure avoiding accidental folding) and the scissors Pat. is either for the solid spring or the serrated edges, I believe the former   :salute:

no, that's "European Patent" as it costs not much money to patent something in the EU + Switzerland, but once you get out of the EU patenting that same thing on other countries it's a high additional cost, so Wenger didn't think it was worth it  :salute:
