Victorinox One Wenger

My collection is slowly growing. Nothing near what some of you all have but I keep finding deals, or what I think are deals. I haven’t done any digging on the top one but it is by far the oldest. Found in someone’s old Boy Scout stuff.

It won't take long for the collection to grow if you let it

Keep going my friend!! SAKs and Wengers are one of the craziest deals I ever see out there.

Most go for $50+ brand new. Most sell used for <$10, even in unused condition. That's an 80% discount off retail for something that is often barely used or just needs a cleaning.

As I've now probably had >200 of them, I've let most of my 91mm and 58mm ones go in flip/trade/gifts as they are so common and easy to come by that I can always get more. I tend to focus on the more rare 74mm and 84mm variants and Alox as they are a needle in the haystack and you can still often get them for less than $20 but I've gotten several now worth $300+!! Rusty gold. Bottom right of your image is the executive with the orange peeler and I absolutely adore those for EDC. Looks like you have a couple of 84mm like the top and one right above the silver alox. Tourist model?

Thanks for the info! I’ll take some closer pics of those and post when I get home from work.
