Unidentified little wenger

nuphoria · **on:** May 11, 2009, 09:45:22 PM

I've got one knife I can't put a name to (don't get excited, I doubt it's very interesting!).

Not knowing bugs me, so who can tell me what this is:

Wenger, 85mm, 1 layer.
Main blade, nail file and corkscrew.
Old style scales - no indents or fancy shapes.
NO lanyard ring.

That's it... an old tiddler with no name!

Sounds like a Standard without a keyring... More knowledgeable opinions should be on their way though.

OT: Searching for it on the Wenger site, I stumbled on this...

but not the sexy black one

No, I am without the sexy black one, I can live with that

I can think of plenty of other tools I'd rather have for that kind of cash.

If this mystery has not already been solved in another thread...

It took a while but it looks like it has been solved now.

Thanks to Katran73 (of multitool.org, runs.ru)

and Andrey2474 (of runs.ru)

.

Now you can sleep easier.

Thanks to Konstantin for sending me the information.
It looks like we'll be making some updates to SAKwiki soon.

I'm not sure I understand the solution? All of the knives on the linked page still have lanyard rings...

The ones pictured yes, but on the catalog page look at the model numbers shown for each configuration; the Wenger model number decoder (not sure if it's on the linked page, access is down right now), the Standard series models ending in 0 or 2 do not have a ring or chain. The posting just confirns it would be Standard Series v 1.01.00 or v 1.01.02 if it had toothpick & tweezers, but that particular catalog page says that model 1.01.02 is not available.

It would have been more accurate to say that it confirms the attribution rather than solved the mystery. I was probably too excited about seeing an interesting catalog page and reading the research.
