Victorinox vs Wenger

Everyone in the world knows the sak aka The Swiss Army Knife made by Victorinox and Wenger. A lot of people debate weather to buy a Victorinox or a Wenger knife or multi-tool as many refer to them as. There are many models of both Victorinox and Wenger, its up to you to choose. I personally have both a Victorinox knife and a Wenger knife. The models I posses are the “Victorinox, one-handed trekker” and the “Wenger esquire” both of which are excellent quality material knives.

If your thinking about getting one or the other, I suggest doing your research and look up on the models of both brands. The question you want to ask yourself is “What tools will fit my needs best?”, this question is not taken into account most of the time and people tent to do an impulse buy and get a tool which contains tools that they will never need. The other thing you want to look into is how much do you want to spend, Victorinox has many fine multi-tools but some can be a bit expensive for example “The Swiss-tool”. Most people carry their Swiss army knife everyday, from day to night, and no matter what you may think of that, that is the logical choice. Carrying around some short of tool is something everyone should do.

Nothing can be done in an emergency if you don’t have the right tool with you. For example, your car breaks down and you may find that a decent pair of pliers is needed for the job, the Swiss-tool would help a lot, but it you don’t have it than your pretty much done for. Wenger makes a few models that have plies but its something about the butterfly-opening style pliers that makes a man more confident. I love both my Swiss army knife tools and I would never get rid of either. My first knife was the “Wenger esquire” which is still very much useful to me. In the end it’s up to the buyer to choose which brand works for them but just be sure to read up on the models and think about what will you use it for and you will be fine. Every choice is hard, but just think about how much good you can do with your multi-tool with you day in and out. Just something to think about.

Take care.
