How good is your Italian?
I ordered once or twice from here:
https://www.agrariagioiese.it/contents/it/d1363.html
But it was a nerve wracking experience. They list all sorts of cool things which they don't actually have. After I placed an order for 180 euros  nothing happened for a week; then I got an email in Italian telling me most of the things I wanted were out of stock. So I hired the best translators money can buy (Google translate...) and asked if they would at least send me the things that were available.
Another week passed. Then I got the shortest email I've ever seen. One word:

Si

Many moons later a parcel arrived, really badly wrapped - but the items were inside, miraculously in good condition.
Empires rose and fell and eventually I got a credit card refund for the things I'd paid for but which could't be sent.
Not a great shopping experience and not one I'd recommend but if they have something you urgently need, you could cobble together an email and ask if they have it before ordering. They are honest, but not dazzlingly competent.

Grazie a Dio per google translate!
Caio!


Exactly the same experience !!!!

Almost as nice as the Forester that's been on sale in Italy...

Except this one has t&t!

You might check La Bottega del Coltello s.n.c. di Ambrosioni Eligio & C. They have a choice/button to read the page in English. I ordered from them (end of 2012) and they were reliable. https://www.bottegadelcoltello.it/en/outdoor-knives/multitools/victorinox.asp

Besides this, there are some changes in tools layers in existing models - their order was changed. In WorkChamp XL slip point blade was replaced by belt cutter (from Rescue tool), combotool and hoof cleaner changed their positions.

Some models, which were available before with black scales, now are present with red ones.

The worst change IMHO,  - this is a mess with models' names.  It's really sad

Disappointing the new 3  58 mm models
 :facepalm:

Give us an alox 58mm rambler

Or an alox 74 mm rambler

What are you thinking of, Victorinox?

Jetsetter series are reintroduced again... I can't understand what's new with the Minichamp Alox... It's been there for ages and toolset and layout remains the same

Was Watchopener last years catalogue?
I like both Jetsetters, might even go for the cellidor one, good to have those back.

Swisschamp Wood looks sweet, but I hate the new 93mm naming.

It's a bad normal Victorinox practice  - re-introduce old models with label 'New'. Marketing....
UPDATE: Disclaimer from Victorinox: Products launched in 2015 and 2016 as well as standard items not previously included in the catalog are labeled with the "New" Icon.

It's listed in the 2016 US catalog as 0.8201.23R.  No picture though.

I'd only seen that jetsetter model on a far eastern web store, and without the "jetsetter" name.  I'd assumed it was a special Asian-market model.  I never realised it had been a general issue model.  I like it.  It'd be a good companion to something like a Pioneer, or a single-blade knife.  Slightly less useful in that role now the Pioneer X is available, but it does give you the toothpick and tweezers.

The jetsetter was widely avalaible on Ebay yet

According to that pdf it says the outrider has a liner lock now?  If so that will be a very popular model to have a liner lock 111mm with scissors.   Or are they considering their slide lock a 'liner' lock.  And will it have the locking cap lifter too?
