Wenger is introducing their "Evolution" series this holiday season in Europe and will present them to the U.S. Market at SHOT Show next January. I'm pleased to be able to give everyone a sneak peek at the new line. These feature ergonomic sculpted scales, which promise to be quite an improvement over the classic scales we've come to know and not necessarily love over the decades. One of the drawbacks of the classic smooth flat scales is that it is easy for your hand to slip, especially when wet, and since there is also no guard incorporated into the blade, a nasty cut is the usual result.

Below is the "Evolution 81" which is equivalent to the "Esquire" (or "Classic" in Victorinox's line)



Below is the "Evolution 17" which is equivalent to the "Traveler"

Note that all the text is in French, the U.S. version of this site is still under development. We'll have a report on just how well these new scales work as soon as I can get my hands on some samples.
