Wenger Soldier - 1998 Collectors item as Wenger is not being made anymore With
Bail (or hollow rivet for lanyard attachment)
The Wenger Soldat, is a true Swiss Soldier Knife manufactured under contract to Swiss army specifications and issued to all enlisted personnel. Outside of Switzerland it is better known as the Standard Issue or SI for short. This version of the Soldat (French for soldier) is based on Swiss Army 1961 design specifications. It measures 93mm in length, but is listed as a 91mm model in some official documentation. The SI only differs from the Victorinox Soldier 1961 model very slightly, as they are both manufactured to the same specifications. Some people classify the Standard Issue as the civilian version of the true Soldat, because it contains a bail mounted in the hollow end-rivet which was never included on issued Soldier Knives. Victorinox stopped using a hollow rivet in 1994, and never attached a bail to it. The Standard Issue can also differs slightly in the blade shape, and the reamer is ground to more of a point than the Victorinox 1961 Soldier. Wenger has been producing the various Soldat models since approximately 1908. This is the only 93mm Alox scaled knife that is manufactured by Wenger, it was first introduced in 1962 for the military supply contract. This knife was last issued to soldiers in 2008, but Wenger has continued to manufacture this model for civilian retail markets. Since it is was no longer an official Soldier Knife after 2008, Wenger started to refer to the knife as the Swiss Army 70 model. Note: The Victorinox 93mm Alox handled models are also considered 91mm in some company documentation, but are also really 93mm in length.
None. The military knives have tended not to include the popular toothpick and tweezers of the civilian knives, presumably because they are too easily lost in the field. Excluding them would also make the manufacturing of the Alox scales slightly easier.
