The Wenger Swiss Army Knife is in many ways closely attached to those Swiss Army knives supplied by Victorinox. These two companies share a long history of manufacturing top quality pocket knives, primarily to the military then to the public consumer market. Wenger and Victorinox are in fact rival companies; they are the only two authorized producers and suppliers of Swiss Army knives.
In 1893, the Swiss Army contracted Paul Boechat and Company, in Swiss Canton, Jura Switzerland to provide them pocket cutting tools, after which, Theodore Wenger came to the company to manage it and later was able to get it and renamed it Wenger and David.
Wenger produced pocket cutting tools and utensils. In 1908, the Swiss Army signed in Victorinox as one of their suppliers of pocket knives cutting Wenger's supply into half.
The Swiss Army split the agreement as they wanted to increase the competition between the two companies. More competition would lead to cheaper prices and better knives. But Swiss Army did this in the disguise of the spirit of cooperation and harmony. Wenger boasts of making "Genuine Swiss Army Knife" while Victorinox advertises it's "Original Swiss Army Knife." There is no enmity between the two because there was prior agreement as to how they would label and advertise their knives. But if you think about it, genuine and original means the same. Both companies are the suppliers of Swiss Army knives to the Swiss Army anyway.
Wenger and Victorinox's product descriptions are "Genuine Swiss Army knife" and "Original Swiss Army knife" respectively - two lines that are really synonymous to each other. This was resulted by an initial agreement by the Wenger and Victorinox that they should not be contradicting each other since they were anyway both employed by the Swiss Army.
Two years later, to follow up with their progress, Wenger made EvoGrip. These are Wenger Swiss Army knives that had rubber inserts. Rubber inserts provided users a better hold. Users are assured that the Swiss Army knife will not slip in their fingers.
In 2007, following the Evolution's success, Wenger introduced EvoGrip, a new line of pocket knives having rubber handles which provided better grip and lessening the possibility for the knives to slip off the user's hand.
Apart from distinct handles, Wenger's pocket knives are distinguishable from that of Victorinox by checking its logo. The former brand's sign is a cross enclosed in a square.
Wenger has already established its names as a Swiss Army knife producer and Victorinox's merger with Wenger may create doubts among Wenger consumers but Victorinox guarantees that they wouldn't change any of the things that made Wenger knives different from others.
