Wenger Handyman

[DaleW]

Anyone use the Wenger Handyman? It has all my favorite tools in a medium SAK frame. I picked one up in a flea market for a song. I like having a blade, saw and scissors. I have a Vic Farmer on order just because, but I think this Wenger model has all the tricks.

* Double-cut wood saw
* Springless scissors with serrated, self-sharpening design
* Phillips(r) head screwdriver
* Patented locking screwdriver

I picked up one recently. It doesn't have the spit-and-polish precision of a Victorinox, but it is solidly built and all the tools work great. I've come to drop it in my left front pocket underneath my wallet and unfortunately sometimes forget it's there, it's so light.

My favorite SAK had been the Vic. Ranger, which I liked for its being the smallest SAK I knew of with saw, file, scissors, and the usual other tools. Plus a few I really don't need. The Wenger Handyman has fewer wasted features and is much more compact than the Vic. Ranger, with the only defect being a nailfile rather than a full double-sided working file. Fortunately, a nailfile is what I want it for, not a workshop tool.

Definitely a class act and worth considering for a really multifunction toolkit without the bulk.

I've got one and it occasionally makes it into my pocket. Nice set of tools!

Sort of the Wenger version of the Victorinox Fieldmaster, which is one of my favorites.

It was my first sak and first quality non chinese blade. it set things in motion that could not be stopped. I had it for about 10 years, the tip broke off the blade in that time but I just ground it down and it kept going. Recently bought another for nostalgias sake.
I do happen to love the tool arrangement as well, about as good as it gets. The nail file is actually my most used implement.
