··Melbourne AustraliaIn Philadelphia it's worth fifty bucks.
Polite answer: They are vintage Omega Case knives made for Omega by Wenger of Switzerland (now Victorinox).
There is a limited market for them as they're only used by a declining number of watchmakers, most now use a cheese knife to open the cases of expensive watches.
Post them for sale on eBay and they will realise their true value.

··Melbourne AustraliaSo my green one is actually worth something?
😲
That's going straight to Gumtree, Craiglist and eBay, and I won't take any low ballers.

An interesting side note about the demise of Wenger is that September 11th (9/11) was the ultimate catalyst for its downfall. The overnight airport knife ban absolutely gutted their sales, forcing the historic company into bankruptcy by 2005. To save the brand from foreign buyers, their lifelong rival Victorinox stepped in and bought them out. Eventually, Victorinox retired the Wenger knife line completely, absorbing the classic designs into their own collection. But instead of killing the brand, they gave it a second life. Today, you won't see Wenger pocket knives anymore, but you'll find their logo on rugged, affordable backpacks and watches.

·I always prefered Wenger. Especially after a factory tour where we all got the little nail clipper knifes. Lost mine when a purse was stolen. Of the items that one hurt the most.
I would always look to see if I could find another. Wenger mostly sold to domestic buyers. Everything in the US shops is Victorinox made for the export market.
I still do have a mid sized 60 or 70mm Wenger, which ironically I found yesterday. Lamenting the loss of days gone by.
Of couse for fine dining you want one of these.

Are you insane? The thinnest water-resistant [kinife] in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is the sports [knife] of the '80s.
