This from Wenger when I asked: "We are still waiting on word from Switzerland. I will let you know as soon as I find out."

[BIG-TARGET]

  Thanks Tim!  YOU DA MAN!!

[Anthony]

Pliers or scissors in that middle layer?

[duckman1975]

Pliers or scissors in that middle layer?

I think its pliers

[Ben X]

Probably pliers, that thing looks awesome. I really think Wenger is onto something with those and trying to find the perfect hybrid knife/multitool.

[duckman1975]

Wonder how much would it retail? Hope it doesn't break the bank.

[BIG-TARGET]

Probably(pure theory, nothing to back it), may be the same as the Alinghi.  Wenger doesn't want to make it cost prohibative

[duckman1975]

Hopefully not more than a 100 dollars

[AndyTiedye]

I think we should offer to take all those worthless scissors prototypes off their hands

[AndyTiedye]

I like the way you think!

If they have 2 scissor models, you keep one and I'll take the other

[duckman1975]

I think wenger will be offering it to the public very soon

[Benner]

The more I see about this the more I want it.    Has pretty much all I'd want and nothing I wouldn't in one handy EDC package.  Very nice.

[Mr. Whippy]

Yup.  This may be the first serious contender for the big LMs in SAK format (SwissTools/Spirits excluded)

[DaveK]

We'll see, but it doesn't do a great deal for me to be honest.

Convert!!!  Or we break out the punishment Budgie!!


Just kidding! 

One of the joys of MTs/SAKs, is you truly exercise your freedom of choice 

[DaveK]

Don't get me wrong, but that's an SAK with pliers, whereas my preference is definitely for pliers, with a knife, if you see what I mean.

Like I said, with all the SAKs/MTs on the market, your freedom of choice knows no limits I know where you're coming from.  I like my hoagies with the oil & vinegar on the veggies(enhances the flavor ), instead of on the bread(makes the bread gooey  )

[Mr. Whippy]

Agree with your preference for the farm.  THat's why I've been carrying the Charge ALX so happily.  However, for climbing/camping, I'd prefer a SAK format, but need a REAL pliers in it for multi-pitch/multiday outings.  This Wenger could be an awesome tool (Makes sense Mike Horn being an adventure freak and all...)

I wish there was a wood saw...
