2014 Black Pioneer with red shield
on: July 07, 2014, 01:28:38 PM
On the Vic site this knife is listed:



Quote
Mit einer Schale aus schwarz eloxiertem Aluminium und einem rot-weissen Logo entsteht eine Kombination, welche nur selten von uns produziert wird. Victorinox verwandelt den Klassiker in ein besonderes Sammler-, Liebhaber- und auch Gebrauchsobjekt. Der Pioneer schwarz ist eines von vielen Produkten, die Victorinox aussergewöhnlich machen.

From the description it's not sure whether it will be limited (and to what extend) or if this will be mass produced.

Is it on the US-website as well?

I have ordered mine back in Mai 8), I don't think they are limited but they probably won't be in production for long.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

It's listed on the Victorinox site as;
"Victorinox has transformed this classic into a special collectors item for its fans".

What does "special collectors item" mean? Very limited numbers?

Unfortunately it's not on the us site and they won't let me see the other countries site.

But all I really care about collecting is SAK's.  :climber:

Which SAK's have been USA only? I just can't think of any right now.

My guess is swiss b will be the importer of these. He hinted at it about a month ago.

So they will probably be around $55 mark.

Very nice of you, but I don't think I will be getting one of the Black Pioneers with Red shields at the moment. Thank you for the offer though. Much appreciated.  :salute:

I'll take one. Cant find an affordable railway black beauty anyway. This will most certainly do.

My local Vic stockist told me last year he could get any SAK if I asked so I`m going to take him up on this and see if he can get me one or more. If I can get them I`d be happy to make proxy purchases for anyone who`s interested. I will update this as soon as I have any info. Standby....................

Wow. They just took a big dump on the collector value on the limited ones. Not surprised if Bianco is involved though.. he has a habit of devaluing collectables.

The black with red shield was the most attractive of all the limited edition knives. They should have just mass produced it from the beginning.

I'm wondering how much more cost it creates for Vic to have the white/red shield on anodized scales. :think:
How's it actually done? I guess it's printed on the scales after the anodizing. Any insight?

The xx/50 limited edition was produced in 2012 & Tim (FelineVet) offered them for about $75.

Does anyone have a 2014 Vic catalog? There doesn't seem to be one online, all I can find are the Delemont supplements to it.
