The Wenger Fly Fisherman is an 85mm four-layer model designed for the fisherman.
It is one of several fishing oriented models, this one having an imprinted fishing fly lure image on the scales.
It is also one of the few to feature the flat Phillips screwdriver opposite the main-blade, rather than the typical small-blade or nail-file.
