Help Identifying a Wenger SAK

Hi all. I mostly collect Vics but over time, I have wound with a few Wenger SAKs. As these are outside my normal collecting I'm not sure what model this one is. one was given to me and the other one I found on the street. They date from the 1990s. Can anyone tell me the model numbers/name. I think (but am not sure) that the top one is known as the Handyman and went for around $12 back in the 90's.

Any assistance would be helpful

You are correct on the top knife since it is a Handyman model. Here are some photos from catalogs regarding your knives. The other knife is a Backpacker II model even though it shows in the photo with a backpacker image on the front scales many were made without as well.

Thanks for the quick response. I think I want to get a backpacker II with the li'l dude on the scales

I have loads of extra Wengers and Vics so I might have an extra one of those I would be willing to sell. Let me check and you can send me a private message if you are interested.
