Came across the Wenger Scout knifes a couple of days ago whilst searching for something else. Any of you other leaders got one and if you have is it any good?

Yeah, I noticed that £34 quid, it's a pricier option than a Victorinox equivalent. I thought the price may have been increased because of the Scout branding, but checking on Amazon that doesn't seem to be the case.
Nice looking knife ,but why do Scouts need a cork screw? any other use rather than the obvious.
My boy who is in the Cubs won a prize over Chrismas and I sugested he buy a SAK,somthing he could keep instead of a passing fad.

You dont stop being a Scout at the age 18 you know. They are also supposed to help others like Mam and Dad when they forget thier corkscrew on holiday.
Good point, and a decent SAK lasts years so many uses at home in adulthood as well.
I suspect it is largely because it is a "rebranded" version of a standard Wenger product to allow a big enough production run to keep it affordable.
Very nice, I was looking at a Case knife recently. Madame Manacles has very kindly ordered my a Wenger Scout knife as she has had a small windfall. I shall use it as my daily Scouting knife, but am tempted by the Case knife for the sake of owning it.
It lloks reallt good, the other one that Case do that impresses me is the raindrop pattern froged balde on the same basic design, really lovely forging.
Okay so it's just arrived. Looks pretty good to me. The purple is a bit lighter than I was expecting but is near enough the saem as the World Badge. The small text under the Scout Logo reads "creating a better world".
I've only owned Victorinox previously so this is my first Wenger and the quality feels good. I shall be using this as my regular Scout knife from now onwards.
