It was in their website a month or so ago.

(I'm talking about this one).

I wonder if they didn't sell so well, or Vic changed their mind about producing this colour combo, or it's just an oversight, or they were just using up spare stock, or.... who knows....

Ah maybe it's just not been moved over to the new site design...

I can't work out why Victorinox would release their new site without including all the content. :think:

People have suggested that since their website is new that it may still be in a state of flux.  It may be a matter of someone entering in the appropriate info into a database.

Victorinox appears to have cut back on their offerings in the US, but I haven't heard of a cutback in offerings in EU and perhaps other places.  Such as with the 93mm Alox offerings.  The decision on what is imported into the US may have more to do with the discretion of the US Victorinox distributor and not necessarily on what Victorinox manufactures.

That all being said, I don't know.  But it is an interesting topic in general.

I'd be happy to export a bunch to you guys so long as I can cover my costs, but as I have to import them from Germany in the first place it seems awfully long-winded.

Do we have a German member who's willing to export?
