I've been meaning to post this knife here for a few days now.  I don't buy many Wenger knives but when I run across an Eddie Bauer Whistle knife for $5 at an estate sell -- well that is something that I don't pass up!  Signature nice a clean.  Actually the entire knife is pretty clean.  It just has a small X near the top of the revesrse scale. (by small I mean perhaps an 1/8 of inch  Compass is still accurate and clear. Blade has scratches but is unsharpened. The combo tool appears unused.

For those who haven't heard the Wenger knives are going away.  Well sort of.  So are really goign away but others will just be re-branded to Victorinox.  I wonder what will happen with the Wenger Scissors.  I kind of like them better than the Vic Spring loaded.  Anyway, heres an article with some info on the changes coming in 2014. a href="http://gearjunkie.com/swiss-army-knife-victorinox-wenger" target="_blank">http://gearjunkie.com/swiss-army-knife-victorinox-wenger >

For those who didn't hear.  Carl Elsener Sr. of Victorinox fame passed away yesterday, at age 90.   Victorinox has suspended its social media sites until Friday out of respect.  He was 90 years old.

He was inducted into Blade Magazine's Cutlery Hall of Fame back in 2011

Sooner State Knives has that very knife for a mere 90 acorns. That would be chump change for a man like yourself. I say, if you want it then you should get it. You can't put a price on happiness!

What was that old Nike ad? Oh, yeah! Now I remember..."JUST DO IT!"

My latest Victorinox.  Not your typical Swiss Army Knife. 

I had been looking at getting this knife for awhile.  I'm not big on gardening but the funky blades have been calling my name for a while.  Finally I just broke down and got it when I saw it for  under $20.    It's their Grafter.  It has a grafting and a sheepfoot blade on a 100 mm frame.  I also have the florist knife.  I guess the pruner will also make into the collection.

Th funky looking blade is the grafting blade.  The swedge on the top is not sharp enough to cut skin but it does have a bit of an edge.  The inside choil near the tang has jimping so that you press down  with your thumb without fear of slipping onto the cutting edge.  The sheepfoot blade is the same blade found on the florist knife.

Same knife shown with my  Escort II with a rescue blade.

The Victorinox Gardener or Florist knife.  This one came as a bonus knife when I bought another SAK at a bigbox store. The other knife was gifted to either my son or nephew.

As can be expected, the knives live up to the usual Victorinox workmanship and quality.
