Wenger Evolution 16. On the main blade it says:
Wenger
Delamont
Switzerland
Stainless

and on the other side it says Wenger. It has the main blade, can opener (different from Vic), bottle opener/screwdriver, serrated scissors, nail file; and on the back a Phillips screwdriver and awl. The scales have holes for toothpick and tweezers, but it is missing those accessories. I wonder if it will accept Vic accessories? I shall find out.

Closed length is 85mm.

I like it.  Thanks for the photo.  No, it won't take Vic scale tools.  Unfortunately.  Best wishes.  G

"Unfortunately" is an understatement. Replacement Wenger scale tools aren't easy to find. Precisely one of my Wengers has an intact original toothpick. Another has  part of an original toothpick impacted in the slot. Wenger tweezers seem to hold up better than their toothpicks.

"impacted toothpick"  I liked that.  Even when the scale tools were new, they weren't much.  Best wishes.  G

I wonder if you contact Vic if they have some old Wenger style they’d send to you. Or just send it in for repair (though they may just replace it with a Vic model).

Oh well. Not a big deal anyway. I'll probably just add it to my SAK collection and call it good enough. At least I have a Wenger now! :climber:

New month, so time for a bump.  :hatsoff:

The Sos surprise box GAW is open to any MTO member.  State here in the forum that you want the box and PM your info to the last person who got the box.  They will mail it to you.  Pick whatever you want out of the box, add anything you want to the box then send it on to the next person who wants it.  It's free.  Who doesn't like free stuff? :dunno:  All you have to pay is the postage to send the box to whoever gets it after you.

I decided I need another item from the box: a Leatherman Wave. This is my first Leatherman although I do have other multitools.
Missing the large screwdriver and doesn't include the bits but that will be easy to fix. I might even modify it instead of returning it to factory stock.

I'll put something else in the box; haven't decided what yet.

Who wants to be the next lucky recipient?

Good call! Looks like an original Wave; am I correct?

I think it's a 2nd generation because it has the bit holder for a double-ended screwdriver bit. Also, the date code is 0505.

Come on now folks.  Whoever is even thinking about claiming the box had better get to it, or WECSOG is just going to keep on finding more cool stuff to take out of the box for himself.  Let's keep the box moving and don't give WECSOG any more time to think about it.  :pok: :pok: :pok:

Hi WECSOG,
    I haven't looked at this thread in a while.  I missed the part where you wanted the bag of razor blades.  I had a look around and didn't turn them up.  I must have chucked the whole lot of them once I couldn't give them away.  You are quite welcome to them if I should happen to find them.  I think they are history, however.  Best wishes.  Gary

Thanks for looking anyway, Gary.  :tu:

So, who is ready for the box? Anyone?

Good ol' USPS.  >:(  Part of what we're paying for with these flat rate boxes, is tracking. But I entered the tracking number and it says "tracking is not available for this item." If Nando doesn't receive it pretty soon, I'll inquire at the post office.

I'd check with them soon.  Let them scan the tracking number right off the receipt, then let them figure out where it is. :mn: :poh: :bnghd:

I intend to. It's crazy that it doesn't appear to be in the system, yet I have a receipt with a tracking number on it. Hopefully I'll get a PM from AzteCypher saying he has received it.

Nothing yet unfortunately but I do believe mail is running slow.  I sent my brother, who lives in Oklahoma, a letter and it took a full 7 days to get there.  I'm thinking/hoping it gets here in the next few days.
May the best of your past, be the worst of your future.
