I got a SAK,But I couldn't find the model anyway,I'm grateful for a friend who can solve my confusion.
No 80mm category on SAKWiki. Could the precise length be 82mm maybe?https://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Wenger+Other+Models

I see it that way: thats a common standard vintage wenger size and shape, used around 1930 - 1950. Someone just replaced the mainblade with a newer blade, maybe wenger did that job by themselves because it looks quite well done. Victorinox does the same thing when they don`t have spare parts from vintage models.
Could it be a handmade piece? For example, many technical companies have apprentices who have to make by hand a piece of machinery or a special model for their exams. I can image that an in-house student of Wenger made this knife as part of his study or exam.
