Wenger is one of two companies From Delemont that make Swiss Army Knives

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 08:06:09 +0000

Wenger is one of two companies From Delemont that make Swiss Army Knives. In 1898 Theodore Wenger was made manager of Jupiter Paul Boechat & Co. This company was the winner of a contract from the Swiss Army to make knives the Army. Theodore Wenger changed the name of the company from Jupiter Paul Boechat & Co to Wenger & David. Later in 2005 Wenger was bought by Victorinox.

First Wenger was to find spoons and forks manufacturers and went to work, and started to make pocket knives for the Swiss Army. Later in 1907 the Swiss split the contract in two. Some of the pocket knives where to be made in Canton of Schwyz and the second half in the Canton of Jura. The company said that they did this to make every one happy. But some people think that it was really done to make the making of Swiss Army knives a competitive business to drive down the prices.

Later in 1929 Theodore died and Kasper Oertli was the majority share holder in the company. Later there was a fire in the factory. When the company rebuilt they modernized the facility and also started to make watches. As I mentioned earlier in 2005 Victorinox bought Wenger. This is where people get confused with who was the original maker. Wenger is said to be the Genuine Swiss Army Knife, and Victorinox is the Original Swiss Army Knife. there are many off brands that make swiss army knives but if you want one made by a maker that is the real thing you should be looking for one of these to makers.

Hello my name is James Huff and I started a online store called pocketknivesdepot.com I started this for two reasons I wanted to offer great quality knives at low prices. I also wanted to gain financial independence. To open your own store is challenging but well worth the work. If I can do it any one can. Thank you.

Swiss Army Knives: What Are They Good For?

admin — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 00:52:20 +0000

The Swiss Army knife is a modern day miracle with its many indoor and outdoor uses. From its inception in Switzerland in 1891 the Swiss Army knife has captivated multi-tool users for over 100 years. Originally intended as a pocket knife for the Swiss Army with its transition into a multi-tool gadget almost anyone can find a reason to have one. Let’s take a look at how many different and unique tools can fit into one little pocket sized gadget.

Tools on the earlier models
•   Screwdriver
•   Can Opener
•   Tweezers
•   Toothpick
•   Bottle Opener
•   Wire Stripper
•   Ball Point Pen
•   Phillips Head Screwdriver
•   Saw

Tools on a newer Swiss Army knife
•   Magnifying Glass
•   Nail File
•   Scissors
•   MP3 Player
•   USB Drive with memory stick features
•   Laser Pointer
•   LED Light - not quite a Surfire Flashlight
•   Divot Repair Tool for golf

They are relatively light weight and made out of aluminum alloy and stainless steel. The idea was to create a device that was easy to carry with you anywhere and have as many different tools available to you as you would ever need at one time. You can find uses for it almost anywhere and it’s a great device to carry with you when camping and hiking. Remember not to leave it in your pocket while boarding an airline these days, they will be confiscated.

Since Victorinox began producing the famed knife it’s been a favorite around the world. It’s only true competitor was the Wenger Company which Victorinox purchased in 2005 eliminating the competition. Many companies have tried to create their own versions but have failed to provide the same quality product. The superior craftsmanship, ingenuity, versatility and materials that go in to creating these knives are unrivaled. Today the company sells around 50,000 knives to the Swiss Army each year. The rest of production goes into exports with the United States being the largest buyer. They make excellent Father’s Day and Anniversary gifts and you can find a use for it anywhere.

Authentic Swiss Army Knives – Don’t be Deceived

admin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:04:52 +0000

In 1897 Karl Elsner first created the Original Victorinox Swiss Army knife. Wenger, the company that produces Genuine Swiss Army Knives was founded in 1893. Since then the Swiss Army Knife collection from each of these companies has grown to include knives for everyday use, camping, multi-tools, specialty knives, executive gifts and more. The reputation for reliability and quality has grown along with number of knives available.

As with most successful products, imitators and copycats have arisen, producing cheap imitations of both brands of Swiss Army Knives, taking money from unsuspecting consumers and damaging the reputation enjoyed by the Swiss Army Knife. The "Swiss Army Knife" is constantly being copied but the original quality has never been equaled.

On some of the foreign imitations have even include the Swiss cross. The application of the Swiss Cross was done to confuse the public and give the impression that they were dealing with a genuine Swiss Army knife product.

Don’t be tricked into buying a counterfeit or cheap imitation Swiss Army Knife.

How can you avoid being tricked? Genuine and Original Swiss Army Knives are quality products, using quality craftsmanship and quality materials. First, look at the price. If someone is offering to sell you a new Swiss Army Knife for $10 when everyone else is selling the same model knife for $50, be suspicious.

To identify a Genuine Wenger Swiss Army Knife look for the trademark. It is an emblem in the shape of a square with rounded corners. The outline is white, the center of the shield is red and the cross is white. Check the blade to make sure it says - Wenger Delemont Switzerland Stainless.

To identify an Original Victorinox Swiss Army Knife look for the trademark cross and shield. The shield has 5 corners and the top of the shield has a small depression in the middle of the top of the shield, similar to the depression seen on many police and fire badges. The outline of the shield is white, the center of the shield is red and the cross is white. Look for Victorinox stamped on the blade.

Keep in mind, imitation, counterfeit and “just like” are not the same as “genuine” and “original”. Counterfeiters are cheats and they very well may put a fraudulent emblem or an emblem that is close to the authentic emblem on their knife. If the price is “cheap” be cautious.
