The Wood Collection is one of Wenger's premium Star Lines, and was produced in conjunction with the Swedish cutler EKA.
Each company offered three models, all had similar curved bubinga wooden handles made by EKA, and were marketed jointly.
The three Wenger versions are shown below. The complete collection is shown in a Wenger 1992-1995 French catalog (pg. 58, pg. 59).

Additional Model
In addition to the three Wood Collection Wengers, Wenger and EKA collaborated on another wooden-handled model based on the Traveler.
This was the Executive Major (EM-1), which featured a more conventional straight wooden handle without the brass screws.
It is shown on the right in photo right and above.
