Good one Jaydar, I wonder how many of us are carrying vs. how many are collection pieces only?  :cheers:

I know the entire UK allocation was 1,500pcs.
This information came direct from a friend at Victorinox.
.......

Really - Seems highly unlikely!! :o
Just under a third of the whole world's allocation goes to the UK ???
When you think about other countries where SAKs are so popular and populations often larger: USA, Switzerland, Germany - to name a few!!
I read on a UK Vic dealer website that the UK had been allocated 100.

Managed to them at dealer cost. 8)

Which dealer? How much? We need the deal too!!

PS. I like this numbers logging game - It's going to be interesting and may shed some light

PPS. On the popularity I have seen these SAKs sell out on four of five websites under my very eyes (eg Cutlery Shoppe) ! So I would say they are selling like hot cakes

I have no reason to doubt the UK allocation as my friend holds a very important position at Victorinox at the factory.
With regards to the dealer pricing I managed to buy them direct from Switzerland using my company.

These are sold out in many places now, and I noticed from what's still available that prices have already gone up from MRP by 30-40%!  :ahhh

"cloudy" damascus blades
Reply #80 on: May 22, 2016, 01:19:45 AM
I noticed that Roger from SB commented on one of his vids that most of the blades he recieved exhibited some cloudiness. I too saw this on some of mine, but hadn't even noticed until he pointed it out. Somebody commented that the cloudiness disappeared with some oil so I decided to give it a try.

This damascus 2016 model shows some cloudiness on the front and back of the blade. Oddly, the cloudiness seems to confine itself within the pattern of some of the swirls.


First, I oiled it with some ballistol. Then I washed the blade with a cloth and it no longer has a cloud that jumps out at you any more.  8)

Before:






After:






I'd love to know what the rest of you think about this.

...I'd love to know what the rest of you think about this.

I saw that video too, and mine also had a slight haze that looked like some kind of mfg. residue. It washed off with a scrub sponge and soap before I used it for slicing. I have since used metal polish to tone down the dark swirls as well. I like the look of it now after some use and multiple scrubbings. Maybe they overdid the process they used to bring out the Damascus pattern, I think +B mentioned that too. 

And the knives being loose in the boxes that Thunderpants pointed out.

To restore the crisp lines of the damasteel you'd need to etch it.  Now I think that you could do that relatively easily but just dipping the blade as far as it could in a etchant in a tall test tube or similar.  Every different damasteel user I talk to recommends a different etchant though, but Ive seen a few youtube videos that show the process and it is pretty quick.  I think most use muriatic but others say sulfuric.

On the other hand, no you shouldnt have to re etch a blade that you bought new... but doing anything in mass production like this is bound to have some blades turning out nicer than others.

I'd love to know what the rest of you think about this.

Due to the camera angle, knife position and light - I'm afraid I can't really see what you mean.
It's only the last photo that shows the blade detail clearly

I have one coming - So I will look out for this - Thanks

Re: "cloudy" damascus blades

Quote from: BerkshireHunter on May 22, 2016, 01:19:45 AM
I noticed that Roger from SB commented on one of his vids that most of the blades he recieved exhibited some cloudiness. I too saw this on some of mine, but hadn't even noticed until he pointed it out. Somebody commented that the cloudiness disappeared with some oil so I decided to give it a try.

This damascus 2016 model shows some cloudiness on the front and back of the blade. Oddly, the cloudiness seems to confine itself within the pattern of some of the swirls.


First, I oiled it with some ballistol. Then I washed the blade with a cloth and it no longer has a cloud that jumps out at you any more.  8)

I'd love to know what the rest of you think about this.
