Hi Hudspith-
Glad you have clear weather. Take advantage of it; the weather can change quickly in the Alps.
Just be clear, you may well be able to find the "Wenger-type" design in a Victorinox knife. When I bought a few of my preferred Wenger model several years a go while they were still available, Victorinox was apparently starting to make such knives, but with the Victorinox name on them. If the store that you are looking at has an experienced clerk, they will likely remember the design feature.
I'd look at a knife that you like, and if it has the Victorinox "hairpin" design for the spring, I'd ask if the other design, that Wenger used to make, is available today.
