Classic 07

I have secured myself one more Wenger Classic 07. This one is labeled on the box 10 2013 and this is a late date. I have seen later also. There are a few things I needed to research on production variations that required me to secure one more of the Classic 07 SAKs. This line of knives was stopped completely after 2013 was done according to my information so far. In the history of the Wenger knives it is very normal to find production variations in them. There is an evolution as well like I have mentioned on Sakhome.com.

It is the different tapering or grind on the blade that is the main interest on this knife today. I guess it would be normal to find it that said. However there are no coincident that I discover this new grind again.  It is also a signal that confirms all my research about Wenger knives. You can find variations on both sides of the grind, the tree knife logo used or not and more. This knife does not have the W tree knife Wenger logo. This I have found on and off during 2004-2014.

It is typical during all the Wenger history as well. I am a bit more aware of variations going on in this late time in the history and therefore I have placed this knife into the evolution on functions and construction.

Here it is the latest labeled Wenger Classic 07 in my collection. For a collector this may have some extra special factors.

It is special because the Wenger box is labeled 11 2013 that is the latest date for the Classic knives that today is gone. I have not seen any later than this date yet. If there are later ones then they must be special or interim made. No matter how one twists and turns on this the 11 2013 is a milestone.

The history on the 85mm Classic knives is very long and they represent all the evolution from the beginning until today. One important aspect with this late knife is the possibility that knives have been on storage so the absolute latest production variations may be in question. It is the label on the Box that one must rely on completely. It is the box it came with and therefor real. For my eyes this knife is the absolute latest in production as well and I am happy with it.
