Customer Review

Vorneweg I have to say that I am a great friend of the Swiss knife manufacturer Victorinox. Therefore, I also had to Wenger Evolution 28 have, which is one of the first Wenger knives, which is sold under the label Victorinox.
I thought before buying, carry this knife as EDC there something more compact than my Swiss Champ, which accompanied me for about a year daily.
Unfortunately, the Wenger Evolution is not such an enormous evolution, as I had hoped, but we come once to the knife itself
Below I see the knife on the one hand with my Swiss Champ and secondly with my EvoWood S557, which belonged to the past Wenger knives under their own label. Wenger was acquired by Victorinox in 2005, but turned to the end of 2013 knife under his own name here.

The Wenger Evolution is one of its own series and is with its 85mm length just under the size of the 91mm Victorinox Swiss Army Knives. Weighing in at 163g, it is about 25g lighter than the also 8 Layer DETERMING Swiss Champ and around 30g heavier than the EvoWood S557, which has 5 layers.
The tools such as the open-end wrench, Philips screwdriver, scissors and magnifying glass and emery board all come clearly the Wenger range.
Victorinox contributed the opener, the bottle opener, drilling reamer, sewing eye, and the two saws and the corkscrew. The blade, as well as other tools to make an impression as the wertigeren EvoWood, but are a bit small if you are used to the Swiss Champ.
Unfortunately, the knife as well as my other Wenger feels everywhere at extremely sharp and has constantly afraid to intersect. So do not. On the blade which provides a common like Victorinox razor sharpness and a mirror finish, but on the outside of the scissors or at the top of one of the two saws
The tools to make a very strong impression, and unlike my EvoWood to open-end wrench and screwdriver Philips indeed be used, without breaking off his fingernails.
The above-mentioned corkscrew can be combined with the practical mini screwdriver of Vic. Retrofitting, tweezers and toothpick are identical to those of the Swiss Champ.
Nice but very platzverschwenderisch be are the magnifying glass with the fine screwdriver, which one has solved the Swiss Champ better. The fish scaler would calm can also use a centimeter scale. There are more people who want to measure what, as there are anglers. :-P
A pair of pliers is actually mandatory in this (price) class, probably not during evolution.
Let's talk about price:
The Evolution 28 will cost 66, the Swiss Champ are just over 50 times. For my taste, you get offered more than the evolution of the Swiss Champ. But if you can do without a pair of pliers, or it would rather a spanner, is also well served at Evolution.

Finally, the pros and cons at a glance:

+ Lifetime warranty (Wenger had only been 5 years)
+ Compact and lightweight
+ Open-end wrench

- Very sharp part
- No pliers
- Very high price.
