Victorinox Booth- SHOT 2010
on: January 20, 2010, 05:49:15 AM
We hit Victorinox today and spent most of the morning there.  It was a great time and we got to look at all kinds of new items- some we knew about, and one new series was completely new to us!



You can imagine my surprise when I saw these!  Ceramic kitchen knives from Victorinox!  I instantly fell in love and spent a good amount of time talking to the new cutlery rep since Cutlery Girl is no longer in charge of that department.  She's now doing some work with the reps, but in a different capacity, and I wish her all the best!



The biggest in the series, the 6" santoku has an MSRP of about $120, which is not only reasonable for a ceramic blade, and is well worth it- ceramic blades rarely need to be sharpened, and are a joy to use.  I had a Boker ceramic kitchen knife and I loved it, until I passed it on to my mother, who still loves it today!



The dual density line is well documented by now, so I didn't spend a lot of time looking at them, although I did get a few pictures.  The new DAK also comes in a civilian version calls the Dual Pro, which features dual density scales similar to the New Soldier, but I wanted to see how it operated.



Looking closely you see that the liner lock for the main blade is very similar to the one used on the OHT/Soldier except that instead of the opposite end (from the blade) locks the secondary blade, rather than the bottle opener.  A second locking liner is used to lock the bottle opener open, so it can still be used as a light duty pry bar.



Victorinox also has plans to release a limited run of damascus bladed Pioneers with black anodized scales.  I have no pricing info on these yet- the price was not set when we spoke to them.



I hope this satisfies your lust for SAK p0rn, at least for the time being!

That will probably happen- there is a modified version beling looked at now (we saw a prototype) with a plain edge and swapping the corkscrew out for a phillips driver.  When it sees production it'll have it's own name and model number, but the prototype was just conceived of and built in the last week.  We were lucky to get a look at it.

We have pics of it too, somewhere....  :D

We asked them. They said yes. :D




(disregard all the fingerprints all over the one on the right. both knives were highly polished to typical Vic perfection)


Serrated blade/corkscrew model sounds like its intended for the European market, whereas the Plain edge/phillips is bound for North America. :)

Am I right in thinking Vic may be releasing a new multitool this year? If so, is this a place where you could possibly gain any info on that?

We showed incredible restraint in waiting for nearly 30 whole seconds before blurting out that question at the Victorinox booth this morning Raukodur! :P :D The answer we got - from a key member of the team that designed the SwissTool over 13 years ago - was not a complete surprise. True to its tradition of constantly seeking to improve an existing product, it sounds as if Victorinox is planning more of an upgrade to the SwissTool and Spirit as opposed to a complete overhaul. The plans are not yet cut in stone at this point, so I will leave it to Grant to elaborate more on what he learned today. :)

Very nice guys, the damascus blade is lovely.  I'm disappointed, but not surprised, to hear that the 'new' multi might well just be an upgrade of the existing tools.  Not necessarily a bad thing in itself I hasten to add, but perhaps not quite the 'all new' multi that the early rumours might have had us believe. ::)

seeing as how the spirit in particular (since I have not handled a swisstool myself) is already near perfection, it may turn out to be the better option for them to 'upgrade' it, rather than release a new tool altogether.
