This is a 130mm Wenger RangerGrip. Tool-wise it’s basically a RangerGrip 90, but with a partially serrated main blade instead of a plain edge one.

I don’t collect Wenger knives :) But years ago, I think it was in 2021, I bought a big lot of several Swiss Army knives from a guy who had stopped collecting. This haul mainly consisted of Wenger Ranger models, quite a lot of Victorinox knives and a whole bunch of worthless crap and fake
This Classic SD has an identical 3D-effect illustration on the front and back scales as the Huntsman Canadiana that I got in Canada last year. It’s a special edition for House of Knives. I’d give these scales a solid 10/10 if the snowflakes were six sided. Because real life snowflakes are hexagons (which are the
