Its a reed-scraping knife for preparing reeds for wind instruments. Produced for a firm called Oboe in Switzerland (CH). There was also a US dealer. The blades are 440C stainless, unique for Wenger. Left and right-handed versions. Later versions had the New Ranger grips.

At least one company still offers it (supposedly).

I know this is an old thred, just seemed silly to start a new one.

What are people's thoughts on the rangergrip 74, or others with pliers.

I was thinking this might be a good tool for fishing, instead of my old Wave. Which has server me well since about 2000. They are well used and getting really floppy.

How are the pliers? They seem weak from the pics. But i have not seen one in person. 

Reviews seem mixed.

Or are there just very few people who own them?
