The Adventurer’s Swiss Army Knife

 

In Europe, and more recently in the United States, the latest generation in the evolution of Swiss Army Knives has arrived.  The maker of “The Genuine Swiss Army Knife”, Wenger SA, of Switzerland, opened a new line of knives known as the “Evolution” series or simply EVO for short. These knives have ergonomic handles that are molded to fit the hand better than the traditional flat scales of previous Swiss Army Knives.  However, the latest design goes one step further with an inlay of black rubberized plastic inserts in the grip.  This new EVOGRIP with “soft touch” handles allow for greater control in adverse conditions.  Whether it be dry, wet, or snowy conditions, the handle allows for greater control and grip.

 The new Wenger soft-touch EVOGRIP would be a wise choice for any “adventuring explorer” to be well prepared for the most trying situations and environments.  They come in a wide variety of implement choices.
