Wenger was a Swiss cutlery manufacturer that exists today as a brand of once-rival Victorinox, used for knives, watches and licensed products.[1] Founded in 1893, it was best known as one of two companies to manufacture Swiss Army knives. Based in Delémont, Wenger was acquired in 2005 by Victorinox and partially absorbed.[2] Since 2013 Wenger Swiss Army knives have been integrated in the Victorinox collection as the "Delémont collection".
