Wegner jr vs. Wegner Mouskinna

[shootist16]

I was extremely disappointed when I heard the Wegner jr was being discontinued. It is my favorite knife in its size range. I was somewhat optimistic when I heard about the Mouskinna. I had hoped it would be a decent replacement for the Wegner jr. While it looks really good and should be an excellent knife in its class, I dont think it will be able to replace the Wegner jr. I have not handled a Mouskinna and I am sure I will get at least one. I am talking about blade size. I am also sure that the Mouskinna was not designed to replace the Wegner jr. Wasn't there talk at one time of Bladetech picking up the Wegner jr as a bladetech only item?

I would stack the Mouse up against a Toad before I compared it to the Wegner Jr. Additionally, you've got a back lock on the Mouse, and a liner on the Wegner Jr.

I'm planning on using it for a money clip if it's thin enough. I can't handle the low quality of my KISS.

Looks like the Mouseskinna might be more comparable to the good ole CoPilot.

I agree.

I also agree, I just got a Wegner Jr. and was hoping to pick up another in the future. I think the Mouskinna will be a nice addition though

After the way I was treated for trying to order the Wegner with the Alaska Seal today. I don't want any more of any thing with his name on it.I don't care how cute it is.
