Lithos Series

A catalogue page and the actual knives from the Wenger luxury Lithos series.  
These knives have the main tools of the Esquire model, but feature 18K 10 micron gold plated scales with highly polished stone inlays.  
**Image by: vaswiss (SOSAK); image processing by ICFT. The Wenger Lithos Series were upmarket, luxury handled versions of the Esquire model, marketed under the 'Wenger Max' branding, containing the same layer tools as the Esquire, but excluding the toothpick, tweezers and keyring.

They featured 18 karat gold plating and high quality, highly polished, inlaid stone scales. The packaging included a bright gold-foil outer slip cover that enclosed a wooden presentation box.
