Wenger Alinghi Yachtsman's Knife
September 9, 2007
 Looking
for an inexpensive gift for a yachtsman? This Alinghi Yachtman's Knife
from Wenger should fit the bill. Alinghi of course refers to the Swiss
Americas Cup team, which in March of 2003 won the Americas Cup by beating Team
New Zealand 5-0. They were the first team since 1851 to return the prized
Auld Mug to Europe and the first team to win the Cup on a first attempt.
In that winning spirit, this unique gift for yachting lovers was created.
This Model 16310 Wenger Swiss knife features 8 tools with a total of 17
functions. The blade and tools are made of stainless steel. The 3.9"
serrated blade itself is designed to be opened with one hand. The knife
itself is 5.1" and weighs a robust 8.9 ounces. The other sailing
tools are as follows:
- Marlin spike with needle
- Ruler with both inches and centimeters
- Wire cutter
- Phillips head screw driver
- Reamer
- Awl with sewing eye
- Bottle opener
- Wire Stripper
- Flat head locking screwdriver
- Needlenose pliers
- Shackle opener
The knife comes complete with a gift box, nylon pouch, key ring, and Limited
lifetime warranty. This knife is designed yachtsmen, but if you have a
little boy or girl in your life that loves sailing, then this is a great little
gift. And for anyone that appreciates the precision and dedication of the
America's Cup competitors, this knife proudly displays the name Alinghi across
the side. This knife retails for $135.00.
