Day 22

Wenger Dynasty Lancelot

With a tool set similar to Victorinox Champion Plus, Lancelot is a fancier alox version of the red cellidor Monarch in the Wenger lineup.  Though I am a big fan of Victorinox at heart, I think often times Wenger is a more adventurous twin sister which has lived a more colorful life than her bigger sister.

I like the picture (and the photo as well...) Too bad she burnt through all her money and then had to get married to her conservative cousin to get by ;)

Such an amazing group of knives that you keep showing.  I’m loving it.
:cheers: Thanks Sos24!  :)  I'm having fun with the Challenge and it's helping me reorganize.  :tu:

kamakiri Day 22:

Candidates for today and the outgoing Handyman:

Serrated Spartan is a bit minimalist for me...and was considering the 60% serrated too. But I guess not today.

 :iagree: Very nice.

Day 22
This is only part of my typical daily carry. In this case it is the Champion along with the Spirit and a single blade knife for most of my basic cutting tasks so I reserve the SAK blades for delicate work.  I also carry a serrated knife for trimming twigs when I'm in my garden and a pipe knife for when I'm smoking. I didn't picture them because they are not on me now.

How did you like the wood saw?  I think it might be overly aggressive and takes a lot of force to make it work, but it could be a personal preference.
It needed bit practice to saw, its aggressive sure but after few tries i kinda like it

Day 23

Wenger Pocket Mountain Bike 

Not much of a biker myself, so I can't say I understand fully what is the significance of the hex wrench combined with a long screw head, maybe to adjust how long you want the wrench?  The detachable wrench design is genius, and the combo tool is interesting too.  It also comes in a transparent sheath, which is pretty thoughtful.

Day 22

Today was the first time carrying the new-to-me Champion.  I used the awl to cut open the dogs heart worm preventative.  Used the large blade for cutting a slice of cinnamon pecan cake to have with coffee for some dessert.

I've been eyeing those scales for a while, how's the fit and finish?

I have a few of these scales.  The snap on and fit just like regular scales.  With one pair, the notch for the tweezers was a little more recessed (I believe due to height of tread) but still easily removed using fingernail.
