Vintage Wenger Dog-Leg Can Opener

 







Vintage Wenger Dog-Leg Can Opener, This is a vintage Wenger from the early 1970's or late 1960's. The can opener is called a dog-leg style due to its shape. It is made so you pierce the can and then rock the leg up and down to cut the metal on the upward cut. There are a couple styles with one having a longer "leg" than this one. I think the longer leg version is older as it does not have the diagram on it as the other one does.

Wenger Commander - Savana Series - Natural Horn








The 2 Swiss knife manufacturers sometimes use natural horn material as scales. This is a like new example of a Wenger Commander with Natural Buffalo Horn scales. This is from the 1990's Savana series. They made this model as well as a 65mm Esquire model both in natural buffalo horn. Note the thickness and the lack of slots for the toothpick and tweezer inserts. The natural material makes nice patterns of white and dark ebony colors that look like swirls in candy.

Die 2 Schweizer Messer-Hersteller verwenden manchmal natürliche Horn Material als Skalen. Dies ist ein gleichartigen neue Beispiel der Wenger Commander mit Natural Buffalo Horn Skalen. Beachten Sie die Dicke und den Mangel an Steckplätze für die Zahnstocher und TESTPINZETTE Einfügungen. Natürliche Material macht schönes Muster der weißen und dunklen Ebenholz Farben, die aussehen wie Swirls in Süßigkeiten.

A veces, los fabricantes de cuchillo suizo 2 utilizan material de trompa natural como escalas. Este es un ejemplo nuevo similar de un comandante Wenger con escamas de cuerno de Buffalo Natural. Tenga en cuenta el espesor y la falta de ranuras para las inserciones palillo y pinza. El material natural hace agradables patrones de blanco y ébano oscuro colores ese aspecto de remolinos en dulces.
