Wenger Champ – Grade B

A rare and highly detailed vintage Wenger knife from the 85mm series. This model boasts no fewer than seven layers of tools. A striking feature of this particular example is the vintage magnifying glass with a stainless steel mount (instead of the more modern transparent plastic) and the presence of the inline Phillips screwdriver. The knife is also equipped with specific outdoor tools such as a fish scaler, hacksaw, and wood saw. An encyclopedic example of Swiss engineering from the 1980s and 1990s.

Stands:

• Blade: Neat, shows light signs of use but no chips or cracks in the edge.
• Handle: The red bowls show visible scratches and snail trails (normal for this age). There is a small chip/damage visible on the underside near the corkscrew.
• Mechanism: All tools open and close smoothly. The backsprings still have good tension.
• Tools: The scissor spring works properly. The saw teeth are sharp and clean. There's a light buildup between the layers, appropriate for its age.
