Future direction of Victorinox and Wenger

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

So what do you reckon will happen then  91mm oht, 85mm rangers, even more diverse tools

How do you see the future product line of these great companies developing

[Dunc]

I think things will move slowly but surely . Victorinox has moved with the times by introducing an MP3 player , usb memory SAK , cybertool etc. While Wenger has introduced the new Ranger range . I still think their std range is and always will be the bread and butter but both companys do keep moving .

  Well in my case I wish they could come up with a FIXED BLADE ....maybe something like a psk type,
or neck knife and why not a hunter style....I guess they don't want to show the tactical side of knives....

Im sure would be fun to see it.....

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I hope both Sak manufacturers stick with the current line up, and keep pushing the envelope within that line up,

But I would like to see some of the features of the 111mm and 120mm, ie OH opening preferably in a slip jointed package

The legallity and friendly perception of there knives is something I dearly hope they wouldn't turn there back on and I very much doubt they ever would, but maybe a few more concetions to the modern world, with the addition of pocket clips and the like

[Viper]

Pocket clips would definitely be limited to smaller models though. Imagine a pocket clip on an XLT!

[jock1]

There would be a good chance of it pulling the trousers off you if you could stand up in the first place

[Anthony]

I agree about the pocket clips...not only for use in pockets (since some tools are pretty big), but even to clip the SAK onto a loop or strap inside of a backpack instead of having it drop to the bottom of the bag/side pocket.

[I'm Still Bison]

 I hope they expand their Alox line,and for Vic...make more one hand models of the 111mm line.

[J-sews]

Pocket Clips, one hand opening, and Alox! Pinch me, I must be dreaming again!

Well he did promise to put multi's and Saks back up at the forefront so thats good at least

[Grant Lamontagne]

Well, it's a good thing that he's going to put SAKs and multis at the forefront.  I am certain his original ideas and his efforts will be appreciated by the public, who obviously have no outlets for such things otherwise....

Fear not my riding skills are a bit better than my spelling

On the subject of future developments, what sak or multi would you have tattoo off?

[Benner]

Probably a spyderench.  That would fit in quite well on my sleave.

And I have a tarantula so it's a bit of double meaning.
