Title: Wenger Junior 15 (?)
Post by: basilio on December 02, 2014, 03:21:31 PM
This knife is interesting.
It is basically a "Premier"
http://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Premier
with the blade tip rounded.
The sticker on the box looks like the ones that Herbertz (german importer and distributor) used to put over the Wenger labels.
Also, the invoice reads "Taschenmesser Wenger Kinder 15", so the name "Junior 15" could be possible.
However, there is no name written on the box, so I'm not able to confirm it.
I suspect this knife was probably sold only in Germany, as other "kinder" (junior) models (like the evowood, patagonian etc...) not available elsewhere.

Interesting. :tu:

Is it just me or does the tip look pointier than the rest of the Junior series?

The blade is slighty different because it is a rounded Victorinox blade.
So yes, since it has less "belly", it looks a little bit more pointer.
I do have a standard Wenger junior, so I'll post later a comparison shot.

If it does help the cause, I do have a similar equipped Vic My first - If you are interested, let me know, I´ll donate it to the cause and send it your way for a comparison of the 3 Junior/Kinder/My First!

Hey Thomas, thanks a lot for your offer to help the "research", but I think it would be asking too much, since I pretty much don't collect Victorinox anymore.

Here are a few quick shots that hopefully should help highlighting the differences between the Victorinox and Wenger blades.
