Wenger Madness
Any pretense of sak collecting morals, ethics or what not is gone from these parts. That's because Crumby blew a big junk of his Social Security on twain, brand spanking new, Wengers. Yes. Fearing that the Wenger knife brand was fixing to disappear forever, Crumby went on a collecting binge.
The knife on top of Crumby's favorite exercise pants is the Wenger Ranger 151. You may know the doggerel:
I want to be a chair borne ranger,
I want to live a life of anger.
Well. The Wenger Ranger 151 is just the type knife many a chair borne ranger might imagine carrying into combat, perhaps against the elderly, or unarmed women and children. Actually, however, its probable best application is weeding. Folded up, the Ranger 151 is 130 mm, yet weighs only 92 g. Note the partly serrated blade. Crumby would rather have had the non-serrated version, Ranger 51. But confusion, inattention to detail, and the low price of this particular model on EBAY account for its presence at the CB.
The other sak featured below the Ranger 151 is the Wenger Minathor, also known as the Wenger Micro Tool Chest. Minathor, according to the Sakwiki site, is short for mini atelier du horologer. These are words in the French language. Crumby's great grandmother was French.
Ever since Crumby first started fixing to fix watches, Crumby has desired a Minathor. Even though, the Minathor is maybe not the most cost effective watch repair tool out there. Yes. The Minathor is fairly expensive, and of dubious, comparative utility. But Crumby found the depicted on sale for just a short hair over a hundred dollars. He couldn't pass on that. No sir!
Crumby's Minathor is slightly wider than his very fat Wenger Champ, about 28mm, on account of the Evogrip scales. It is lighter though, 137 vs 164g. The weight reduction is due to the fairy light Bergeon watch tools in a plastic holder. Note. At this nonce, Crumby's version has four empty tool slots in the Bergeon tool holder. Crumby has little motivation for adding the $25 Bergeon Complement Set. Instead, Crumby is fixing to add a couple of larger pin punches (1.5 and 2.0 mm). Only the 2.0 mm Phillips from the Complement Set is of much interest to the watch repairing Ovate.
Anyway. For the nonce, Crumby needs to settle back and enjoy his sak collection, rather than expanding it anymore. Mercy! Praise the Goddess, Old Lady Roosevelt for Social Security.
