Wenger Laser
Crumby has acquired this Wenger Laser via yesterday's mail. Crumby "won" it on EBAY, pouncing when few were aware of the listing, an early bird. Turns out, the price was not exorbitant considering a contemporary listing that went to bid. Goodness!
Mercy! Now that Crumby is the impulsive owner of this implement, he wishes to know more about it. Like when was it manufactured. But can Crumby find that out? No. Course not.However, Crumby is guessing about 1997. That could be the date code on the box, maybe.
OK. Referencing Wenger European catalogs, the Lasers were concocted from 2005-2007. Mine has Patent on the bottle opener so it is a 2005 model.
The Wenger Laser is a Wenger Traveler with a red laser pointer sandwiched between the rest of the tools. For the many unfamiliar with the Traveler's tool set, these are: can opener, bottle opener, spear point main blade, nail file and scissors. Thus, the Traveler is a fairly mundane Wenger. Unless you try to take it on board a commercial airplane.
Yet with a laser pointer included in a Traveler, that Traveler becomes, Art. Yes. Crumby has purchased, or won, Art, for the first time ever. Hmm. Well maybe a collection of 60 or so Swiss Army knives would also be considered Art, since the number alone exceeds the utilitarian value by a wide margin. Er. What Crumby is fixing to spell is that possessing more knives than you can use turns the knives we are presently discussing into Art. Yet the highest Art among all that other collective knife Art is the Wenger Laser. Pure Art! Art for Art's sake.
Crumby's Laser came with two AAAA batteries installed. Which means, technically, that Crumby's Laser came used. Not only that, whoever installed the batteries put the tweezers back, backwards.
Crumby checked the date code on the Ever Readys. Whew! 2014. Praise the Goddess those twain batteries have not been leaking into the battery compartment since 1997. Better keep the directions. Changing the batteries is not an intuitive procedure. Plus, keep those tweezers with the knife, inserted the right way. Never know when you shall need them again.
Crumby fooled around with the pointer for a while. (Crumby's cat showed no interest in participating). Then he took out the batteries, boxed it all up, and set it next to the Victorinox Whistle, another work of Art.
