Saw a comment here before that has now vanished about this not being from Victorinox so its not real. I sort of felt the same way but I just did some googling and it turns out that Victorinox bought Wenger in April 2005. You could still consider Wenger a lower end brand or something but its one company anyway.
Happen to be looking at your response from last year, and you are incorrect about the standing and quality of Wenger knives vs. Victorinox.
1. Both are the only ones approved by the Swiss Confederation(Swiss Army) to manufacturer a specific unit for their soldiers(called the Standard Issue). 2. Victorinox was always a larger company in worldwide sales, but Wenger sold more knives in North America. 3. As the quality of both companies products are equal for the most part, Wenger tools are superior in design and function; ie. scissors is serrated and has no spring to fail. Screwdriver is self-locking and will not fold back in to the body of the knife while in use.
Always a matter of personal tastes, Wenger is equal(if not superior) in form and function.
