Wenger Blades - Are you a fan of his work?

[ARPILOT]

@Brian_T and @ARPILOT have got a Vigtig in my head now.

I hope you get one, I think you'll like it ! I'm impressed with mine thus far.... I've only had it for a hot minute but.... I've owned/own a knife or two to compare it to. If you got one and didn't like it then Brian and I can arm wrestle for the chance to buy it from you! (this handle is nothing like an F1 fyi, in fact it's the opposite)
and thanks to @Regionrat45 for sharing with me!

That’s a great point. If you want any pics comparing to the F1 just let me know.

Happy to give you a frame of reference.

I think I read that the Boker version was smaller than the current production Vigtig. I wonder if it's the same size as the older Vigtig I got from @Buckhenry

From the info card: 7.75" OAL, 3.375" blade length, 0.125" thick Nitro-V at 59 RC

I don't have the card for the bigger one handy but the site has them at 8.25" OAL, 3.75" blade length, and my 3V is 0.110" thick at 61-62 RC if I remember correctly.

The stock on my Boker is 1/8”, blade tip to Micarta is 3 3/8” and handle is 4 3/8”, edge to edge of Micarta. Definitely smaller than current Vigtig by Dave. The funds were just not available for one of Dave’s when I bought this, which works fine for my use.

I’m glad to see it getting some use. Never had the opportunity. Fell in love with my MSK and never took her out. I figured she’d be loved by someone else. Enjoy!

I’m just going to have to find one with solid pins as I really dislike tube fasteners.

he just so happens to have one on his website right now

Last I checked, that burgundy micarta one was still there. I think he even uses micarta pins that match.

I totally just stole this pic from Dave's website so don't think I've got ALL the Vigtigs...yet. LOL!

I carried these two on almost every hunt last fall.

It's not a Vigtig "problem." I can stop whenever I want.

Got one sight-unseen from @Buckhenry and it looks and feels pretty similar to my EDC Vigtig...because it might be a twin from the same batch.
