WENGER MOUNTAINEER/RANGER/SURVIVAL KNIFE FOR DECADESDec 13, 2010
By F. Sweet
The first time was more than over 25 years ago that I laid eyes on this model of Wenger (then called Survivor/Ranger/Mountaineer) knife. I was looking for a pocket science laboratory tool for my chemistry research work. I didn't want a tool chest sized Swiss "Army" knife. I was searching for a streamlined, tough, practical, and basic [the next part was very important for a lab tool] corrosion resistant (i.e., stainless steel) knife.
After decades of constant use as a box opener, bottle opener, can opener, wood trimming saw, multiple screw driver, hole punch, blade locking (for safety) very large blade (even used in fancy restaurants that did not provide sharp meat cutting table knives), my nearly 30 years old Wenger looks nearly new! The black handle has scratches in it and is slightly gouged here and there. But the blades are still shiny and as good as new.
It was just barely legal to take with me in my pocket on airplanes. Routinely, airport security guards would examine it, measure it, and then argue of whether or not a passenger could take it into an airliner's cabin. Usually, in fact always, the more senior security guards (with more seniority and authority) let me pass. That was BEFORE 9/11! Now, it can only come with me in my checked luggage.
Once I forgot, and rushed from my lab to the airport with the Wenger still in my pocket (it had become part of me). This was years after 9/11. The knife set off the metal detector. The security guard looked at the knife, then he looked at me and asked: "Are you kidding?!" I was scheduled to return in three days so I asked him if he could keep it for me until I returned * * * there was NO WAY I was going to surrender my Wenger! Then he gave me a terrifically good tip.
If you are ever stopped by security for carrying a valuable knife or forbidden whatnot, head for the airline's Lost Luggage office. They'll give you an envelope on which you fill in your name, address, etc. and the contents. Tell them you'll be back for it in several days ... then don't forget to stop by Lost Luggage on your way back to retrieve your knife or whatever.
Since decades ago, I've bought several variations of this model .. the recent handle has gotten thicker, and blade lock release has gotten slicker. Some blades are serrated, some are smooth, some are designed to be opened with one hand. But the high quality steel seems not to have changed.
I just bought yet another Wenger to keep in my European apartment. Some travelers have a girl in every port. I have Wenger Rangers :)
I took off one star for the handle. The old and new one could have been made out of tougher material for the price of this knife. Otherwise, it is a terrific design, very practical, and can last for a lifetime.

Very Large OK Outdoor Swiss Army Knife from WengerOct 23, 2009
By S. Diamond
"book addict"
A knife for the backpack, belt or tool chest. Has gray matte handles, locking serrated blade and a locking flat head screwdriver, which locks when pressure is applied. Other implements do not lock. Unlike Victorinox Swiss Army knives the Wenger knife only comes with a 5 year warranty against defects instead of a lifetime one. Not shown in the image is the unlocking mechanism, which is a red plastic slide button. This plastic device doesn't look or feel that durable.
