The Wenger Forester is an 85mm knife with four tool layers, very similar to the Handyman model, replacing the Phillips screwdriver with a corkscrew.
This model was also known, without toothpick and tweezers, as the Basic 09, and was later known as the Classic 17 in some markets.
The Security/Sécurité 17 features a locking blade.

5. The Tactile 812 is a version of the Wenger Forester with soft, black neoprene handles and a clip-point main blade. It appeared in the 2005 Wenger catalog, however this model may have gone into production as the Handyman version with the Phillips driver, as this was later made with the same name and identifier!
6. The Basic 09 is part of an economy line of models, sold at a cheaper price, and usually featuring the Wenger shield printed (not embedded) on the front scale. This model could have also been referred as the Basic 11, however, the official use of this name is not confirmed.

8. BYE BYE, WENGER! was a special limited edition of only seventy models created at the request of the club: Fans du Couteau Suisse commemorating Wenger's last year making Swiss Army Knives. This forest green scaled model features the Wenger logo, FCS logo and the year2013 on the top scale. The blade of the knife is etched with BYE BYE, WENGER! n/70, where n is the production number of the individual knife. Each knife includes a matching serialized certificate, and semi-custom box packaging that features FCS "Bye Bye, Wenger!" labeling on the top of the slip-cover for the box. Manufactured in December 2013, Wenger referred to this knife as a Classic 17 model.
