Has the Vic mag glass been updated .... Again ?
on: July 23, 2018, 03:29:05 AM
Hi Knights

Spotted this picture from an ebay seller - And was wondering if the statement re a new mag glass is true?   ???
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VICTORINOX-SWISS-CHAMP-SWISSCHAMP-XLT-XAVT-WORK-CHAMP-WORKCHAMP-XL-POUCHES/253387727766?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=552551284777&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Or is it just an old photo referring to the switch from all plastic back to glass about four years ago?

Kinda surprised if it is - As the seller appears to be a big dealer (large range); is in Switzerland; and seem to be pretty up to date on stuff
- eg Recent pics for the revised 111mm line

How old is that knife model?
Picture is probably as old, since it says "new model".

All hail the hook!

Aha - Good point lads

Must admit I never considered that the picture was nearly 20 years old .... :o   ....  It does have a 'dated' look to it!!
- Although I was wondering how the XLT could be a ,'new model'    ????   I just assumed a newer version of the XLT

But that could line up - although we reckon the plastic mag glass came out in 2004

AFAIK, only XAVT model was re-released as new one in previous year with only one replacement - old-style lens (XAVT had both of them) was replaced by wrench (from Delemont series)
