Limited Edition Wenger United Woods.
on: November 08, 2013, 12:49:49 AM
I just got one of these in.

The set comes in a very nice paper sleeve.



For those that find this info interesting.



On the backside of the paper sleeve...some instructions on how to display the set.



One the paper sleeve is removed, one encounters a very nice wooden display box with some laser etchings.



The wooden box features two metal clasps.



This is what you will see once you manage to open the wooden display box.



Move aside the black felt, and you are now fact to face with 6 beautiful Wenger knives surrounding a numbered plaque.



Remove the wooden knife tray, and you encounter more literature. I did not open the sealed booklet.



Taking a closer look at that cardboard in the upper right.



The knife tray can sit in the display box at an angle...here is a photo of the display.



So there you have it. I am now an owner of this limited edition of only 2013 worldwide. I have read somewhere that there are only 150 something for the US or North America...I can't remember which. Either way, I got this set because it may well be the last such set from Wenger, as Victorinox is getting ready to axe the Wenger name. Sorry Tosh.

So sad that Wenger is going. :( As others have mentioned I'm wondering why there is no wood for South America. Anyways, beautiful set!

I think Victorinox is waiting for the sales to die down due to collectors' paranoia. Only THEN will the axe fall.  ::)

Yeah, poor Tosh. I didn't even know of this set's existence until during a PM, Tosh told me he was having a very hard time in acquiring this set in the UK. I did a little ebay search and found myself a set mid last month for sale from the US. Then I searched these forums and found a few references of this set in some of the threads. I guess I should make it a point to read everything in the future.  :facepalm:

As for the set, well what can I say. The wooden display box and interior tray are well built as is the knives found therein. I haven't opened them up for photography yet. Not sure if I will have enough time this weekend as I am in a marking crunch with 2 stacks of exams, and 3 stacks of final exam projects to weight through. My marks have to be in by 3:35 on Monday, along with report card comments, etc. :D

Thanks for the pictures!
Finally some real ones, beside those on the Wenger website.
Is it me, or the wood scale on african model is a little bit different from the stock picture we saw previously?
Congratulations, nice set!

Sweet! They look great and so do your photos!  :tu: :tu: I love the look of wooden scales and some of the Wenger's I have seen and handled are much better than the Victorinox ones I have handled(IMHO).

Nice! Congratulations Victor!
Are these beauties only available in this set or are they individually available?
I love them all but I'm looking for a nice wood-handled Wenger for everyday use, and both those little evolutions are stunners...

As far as I know, they are only available in the set. If I had to decide between the two 85mm I would probably take the Thuja... or ... perhaps the Olive  :D

Hello everybody,

How are you ? I apologize, sometimes I read the forum but I participate really rarely because I'm generally very busy.

I don't know if people well understand this United Woods set. I read somewhere people comparing it to the Heritage, but this is not a Heritage 2.0. In french, we say this is a chant du cygne. It means it's the grand final, because 2013 is the 120th Wenger anniversary but also the very last Wenger's year. So, my personal thought is : this is a must-have for SAK lovers.
I don't own it yet, I should hurry, but I'll get it in few days, I read the official presentation document and I saw it in real in a knife shop. In my opinion, it looks awesome, especially the American one, in maple.

I don't know how you can offer it for less than $525. This is a gift, because here in Switzerland, this set is offered for 590CHF. So, I'll have to break my piggybank, but I think I won't regret. Really pricey, but really nicey. If you can get it for $525, don't hesitate. I don't know this seller so I've no interest to say that, but the price is much better than official swiss price.

I would like to help SAK amatoirs to get this set and the Vic Elsener's tribute Damascus Explorer 2013. So, if you want my help, please tell me in which forum part I should write a topic. Thank you.

See you
