New Victorinox Delemont Collection (Wenger)

[felinevet]

The new line is in the catalog but not yet ready to ship. I have my order in. Very nice IMO.

[Syph007]

Thats awesome Tim, thanks for sharing!

Will that be the whole line, or will there be the big rangers too?

[felinevet]

More of the new line.

[Nhoj]

Very nice! I think Victorinox did a good job.

[felinevet]

Last of the new line. See two posts below.

[Syph007]

Oh there are the big rangers.  I still need to collect a few more of those. 

[felinevet]

There are three posts with the whole line. I could only post 4 pics per post. Yep the Rangers are there.

No black versions so far?

[felinevet]

Big ,  Tim. We've been waiting for those for what looks like age.

Quite a few interesting things I see here. Wonder if that is just photoshoped stock pictures or will the production modes be the same (they do mention something along those lines at the bottom of the pictures). For instance the Wengers had the nail file facing out so it doesn't scrape up the blade and I see that it has again been turned the other way around. Hope it's just for the catalog pictures.

And except the Nail clipper with Classic scales (which I'm definitely getting), all of them are Evo. Does it say anything in the catalog about scale options? I'm not a big fan of Evo.

+ Wenger scissors

Well seems we got a bit excited. I'll wait then till you post all the pages.

That's the first thing I noticed too. But as Wenger shows stock photos that way too we can't tell until we see a real knife.

I see Vic can opener and awl and the rest are Wenger's. Very rational!

[kirk13]

Firstly,Tim thank you for posting these!

Secondly,I feel a Tosh moment coming on...if you need me,I'll be  ing in the corner

No S557.    Ah well, I've already got one....     I'm definitely going to have to get me one of the Evo16's with the Vic can opener.  The return of the Salesman!  Well, close.....

[kkokkolis]

Glue the threads together please mods!

[burnside]

I hope the Rangergrip 178 will come with a non serrated option. I really like the green! 

[jerseydevil]

D'oh!  I see the S557 in the other post. 

[enki_ck]

I'm a bit worried currently as Gareth merged a few threads last week and all the attachments broke. I'll download the attachments first and try.

EDIT: Seems it worked out ok.

[felinevet]

Yep, the S557 in EVOGrip.

Great Enki.
Oh that Boatsman! Now I need a sailboat to justify it!

[ICanFixThat]

Interesting. 

Looks like the mounted those reamers backwards though on the 130mm models    I guess they are still working on QC.

ha! Ya I just noticed that too.  They are all the Vic awls too and not the smooth wenger ones.

[felinevet]

Delivery scheduled for April/May.

Nice to "see" the Gardner too. Well not the pic but coming soon. I've been wanting one of those.

[papercut]

Thanks for posting, but I am frankly a bit underwhelmed. Maybe once they are in hand it will be different.

[Gareth]

So, Wenger SAKs with Vic style awl/reamer and can opener?  Excellent result IMO.  I've long been in two minds about the Wenger nail file.  Yes, having the abrasive surface to the outside meant you didn't get any scratches on the blade, but the surface was also pretty small IMO.  Not a deal breaker for me.

I am VERY happy to read that the cap lifter/screwdriver is still locking.

[Gareth]

One thing I've just noticed; the scales seem to still have a cut-out for the old Wenger awl, but with no corresponding nail-nick on the Vic style reamer.

I like the cigar 79. The main blade is on top with the nail file on the bottom. I think these are just photochops.

Oh good eye.

I think maybe these are just all photoshop jobs and we'll have to wait to see pics of the real product.
