The handles of the knives are made from a titanium metal alloy which offers increased strength, without a significant increase in weight.
All members of the series feature a very unusual combination tool which incorporates a knife-blade, three wrenches and a screwdriver. The blade is equipped with a liner lock, which is released by pressing on the release button (red Wenger logo), or by pressing the protruding tab on the actual liner. There is also a 1/4" (14mm) bit-driver/wrench slot (port) in the front side scale for standard bits. The wrenches and screwdrivers are for adjusting mountaineering equipment (eg ice-axe).
All knives were packaged with a lightweight (24.5g) all-weather belt-pouch, that held the knife and up to three screwdriver bits.
The basic Titanium 1 model included the combo tool, bit-driver {two bits were supplied with the knife: Flat head (0.6mm x 4.5mm, 50mm) and Philips head #3 bit (50mm) } and a keyring. The other models added the tools indicated below.
