Anyone got a rough price for this canoe,I've priced the Wenger soldier around £35-40 mark but this is a model with the older wire stripper ,thanks for any advice

The canoe looks to be a USA or dotted knife made before they started "canoe etching" the master blade in 1974. The blades look dark in the picture but relatively full. A quick eBay search says about $30 to $40 U.S. if no handle cracks or unseen issues with the knife.

'Z' will you be sorry to see that Wenger go?

This is the thing jerry,i had a newer non year stamped soldier a will back but decided to sell it,then i found this one at a car boot sale for £9 and its got 91 stamped on it,now ive got no sentimental attachment to that year and would love one with 70 on it for my birth year but there harder too find,but i kind of regret selling my other soldier so now think was it fate finding this one

[jerryd6818]

Yeah and would you be more happy with that Case or would you regret trading off the Wenger like you regret the Soldier? Easy decision if it were me because I'm not a Case fan nor am I a fan of Canoes. I don't see the attraction of either one but that's just me. Your mileage will vary.

As y'all say over there in the land of Bangers & Mash, cheers.

I could just eat bangers and mash i think im veering towards keeping the wenger soldier,im not a fan of canoes as well jerry as mainly prefer stockmans and congress pattern,so think ill keep hold of it untill something i really want comes along

[jerryd6818]

There ya go 'Z'. That's probably the way you wanted to go all along. It's easy to get caught up in the moment. In stores, I practice the "carry test" when I happen on a possible impulse purchase. I pick it up and carry it around the store with me while I look at other things. When I'm ready to go, if it has the same allure as when I picked it up, I buy it. If not, I say "naaah" and take it back where I found it.

I don't know how anybody likes them Swiss Army things I been trying to like them things for 45-50 yrs. and still don't like em I'd get the Case Canoe---
Bangers--Is that something ya put Miracle Whip on ?

[zed6309]

Lol i dont understand the bangers bit

Ive got a few swiss army knives as find them handy,in fact my Swisschamp saved the day at my girls birthday party but thats another story i prefere slipjoints in general as more traditional and very tactile, but i do like wengers and victorinox alox range as very solidly made,some folk collect every year stamp from 1962 but thats pretty expensive, each to there own
