How To Clean An Old Swiss Army Knife

• #1

I have an old Swiss Army knife with "Wegner Delemont Switerzland Stainless" stamped on the longest blade

It has 12 tools:
2 blades (long and short)
two canteen openers
philips head screw driver
magnifying glass
saw
file
scissors
tweezers
another tool im not sure of
and a missing slot on the trunk smilar to where the tweezers go?

its almost 3" long and 1" broad

Anyone tell me how old it is and the model? Thanks!

No, simply I tin tell you the tool you're not sure of is a fish scaler/hook disgorger. It looks like a Wenger version of the Champion from the lxx'southward or 80's to me, simply I'm not up to speed on Wengers.

Looks like a Wenger Monarch, with one difference: smash file instead of a pocket-sized pocketknife blade.

Catalogs bear witness Wenger selling Monarchs in 1970 (annotation the shackle and the old-manner can opener and scissors)

and still selling them in 1990. It was the top of their 85mm line. The tin can opener shows that your knife was built subsequently 1974. Non a collector's item today but a useful tool.

Dealers still sell Wenger toothpicks, run a Google search.

Wenger Oberst had a corkscrew and a small-scale prune betoken knife bract.

Only over the years, Wenger produced variations of many knives — like this Oberst with a smash file.

rjohnboyle may have an undocumented Monarch variation.
