Vintage Wenger Allsport
on: April 06, 2018, 05:40:14 AM
Got this guy in the mail today and did a bit of restoration work on it tonight.  It's an old Wenger Allsport 93mm.  This is the first time I've tried Hobie's sandpaper technique to remove blade scratches, and I'm really pleased with the results.  I started at 800 and worked up to 2500, then polished with NEVR-DULL.  The tip of the screwdriver on the cap lifter is torqued a bit, but still usable.  There's also a ding on the small clip point blade that should come out with a little work.  Other than that, it's in great shape to be from the 1960s (I think).  This is the oldest Wenger in my collection by far, and probably the oldest SAK I own apart from a 1950s Vic.  Really happy to have picked this one up.

You’re welcome!  There’s not a whole lot of info on this knife available online.  I can’t even find this model on SAKWiki.  May need to take some better pics and add an entry...

I’ve seen pics of what looks like the same knife but with a Phillips instead of corkscrew, and also one without the saw, so I know there are at least a couple of variations.

funnily enough the blade (clip point) is engraved "Wengerinox", as if they saw the upcoming fusion 40 years before it happened, and somehow knew the two companies would come together in the future  :D

Maybe the knife is from the future! Or an alternative universe at least.

TennTexan, is there a wormhole anywhere near you? Can you get me a hoverpack please? Or some jet boots.
