Wenger develops a knife for America’s Cup winner Alinghi that would be useful on any boat.
Waterfront: Swiss "Navy" Knife

The America’s Cup was decided in a close series of races last summer. The Swiss team Alinghi prevailed for the second time, but not without the help of the Alinghi model knife/multi-tool created by Wenger, maker of the Genuine Swiss Army Knife. Designed to resemble the hull of the Swiss team’s racing yacht, the knife was developed by Wenger for use in the corrosive saltwater environment. It has pliers, screwdrivers, yachtsman’s tools and a locking blade that has 50 percent serration. It is available in two versions, each with a suggested retail price of $135.
