History
This model was introduced in 2015 when it replaced the Wenger STGW 90. It is very unusual model/conversion, as when Victorinox retired the Wenger Swiss Army Knives, they brought out several Delémont models based on the Wenger range. These models were essentially the same as the Wenger models; in an 85mm frame, with minor tool and scale changes - (See linked page for details). However, this model completely redeveloped the Wenger model into a Victorinox 91mm frame.
These models were developed for Grünig+Elmiger, a Swiss hunting and shooting sports equipment company, to be used for sight adjustments to the FASS 90 rifle.
For details on the unique sight adjustment tools - see this page.
