Tank, I have one on my key-chain. the P-38 in hands down better than any can opener ever put on a knife.

Wayne, at that point, I'd say the tool is useless!

I have not used any of mine as a tin opener yet but I can tell you of a serious flaw in this tool. I have several smaller Wenger knives, 1 or 2 layers, and on these I have bought used the Combo tool has been forced out of the layer and sometimes even past the back-spring. I think what is going on is the amount of force needed to pierce the can causes the tool to slip past the back-spring and even sometimes damages the liners/rivet where it spreads them apart. The back-spring and the rivets are not strong enough plus the Combo tool might be too thin so as to cause this failure. This is of course just my observations of 2 or 3 Wenger knives with the Combo tool that has failed in some degree.

As Wayne said, the Wenger Combo  Vic and Wenger both have a combo tool (Combination cap lifter/can opener/screwdriver.   The blade isn't widely used.

Wenger also has it on the Golf-pro, Soccer, Evo 63, Classic (Entree) and others.

The Vic  combo appears on the 111 Hunter, Some Golfers, the Compact, Mechanic Jr, and others.

I haven't used the combo tool on trhe Wenger but it looks like it will work better than the one on the Vic.

Thanks, Wayne! I know that none of the Wenger's that I own have that tool, and I can't recall ever seeing one before? But, then again, I can't remember what I had for breakfast, either?

Here's another picture of one that I found...

Good to see you, my dear friend! I hope that you've been well and that your collection of SAK's continues to grow. 

Cheers!

That would be the Wenger style Combo Tool Ron.

Toby, Great score! What's that blade to the left of the whistle in the picture? It looks like there's an edge on it and a large flathead screwdriver? I have a lot of Wenger knives but I am not familiar with any blade that looks quite like that one???

Great find. Unusual but souls still serve as good carry knife.
