**ALL SOLD**
These are the Wenger version of the Alox Soldier model. Both Victorinox and Wenger made these, and the two had subtle differences. Many consider the Wenger version superior and here's why.
*The master blade is not bent/krinked to accomodate the awl. It'll be easier to sharpend, and cut straighter through thick stuff like cardboard
*the awl point is somewhat pointier
*it's been argued the heat treat is slightly better on the Wenger Soldier
*the hollow rivet houses the very retro style bail, the Victorinox has no attachment points. The bail is easily removed and small diameter cord can be used. It can also be used as a plum bob.
***ALL SOLD*** These are NIB, only $31 Each Shipped to your door, U.S. sales only please.
I'll take paypal, personal check or M.O.
Here are some pics comparing the Vic and Wenger, the Wenger has the bail.
