A Brief Guide To Swiss Wenger Knives
The Wenger Swiss Army Knife is in many ways closely related to those Swiss Army knives made by Victorinox. These two companies boast a long history of manufacturing top quality pocket knives, first to the military then to the public consumer market. Wenger and Victorinox are really rival companies; they are the only two official producers and suppliers of Swiss Army knives.
Back in 1983, in the Swiss Canton of Jura, Switzerland, Pual Boechat & Co. signed a contract with the Swiss Army to supply knives. Theodore Wenger came to work for the company as a manager. Wenger acquired the company and the company subsequently changed its name to Wenger and David.
Wenger manufactured pocket cutting tools and utensils. In 1908, the Swiss Army signed in Victorinox as one of their suppliers of pocket knives cutting Wenger’s share into half.
The reason why Swiss Army contracted Victorinox is that it wanted to tighten competition, for this, they believe will encourage both companies to increase their quality as well as to lower their prices. Setting this aside, the underlying purpose of that was to motivate the two to work together harmoniously.
Wenger and Victorinox’s product descriptions are “Genuine Swiss Army knife” and “Original Swiss Army knife” respectively – two lines that are really synonymous to each other. This was resulted by an initial agreement by the Wenger and Victorinox that they should not be contradicting each other since they were anyway both employed by the Swiss Army.
Two years later, to follow up with their headway, Wenger made EvoGrip. These are Wenger Swiss Army knives that had rubber inserts. Rubber inserts provided users a better grip. Users are guaranteed that the Swiss Army knife will not slip in their fingers.
After two years, Wenger came up with a new type of knives and this time introducing rubber inserts on handles. The new line was called EvoGrip, made for better grip capabilities and prevents knives from slipping out of consumer’s hands.
Aside from distinct handles, Wenger’s pocket knives are different from that of Victorinox by checking its logo. The former brand’s logo is a cross enclosed in a square.
Wenger has already established its names as a Swiss Army knife maker and Victorinox’s merger with Wenger may bring about doubts among Wenger consumers but Victorinox assures that they wouldn’t change any of the things that made Wenger knives different from others.
