Mass production I'd assume. It's like McDonalds fries, they taste delicious and exactly the same no matter what McDonalds you go to.

I also am willing to bet that QC for them isn't pull 1% and test, or 10% and test, but test 100%, and if it doesn't pass, it doesn't ship. Get it right, or don't let anyone know you you didn't. But yes, consistant performance and refusing to settle is part of why I love Vics.
I think I've bought a few SAKs new, all the rest come with unknown history. I just got a SAK that can arguably be 40 years old and while there are a few issues the SAK as is can go right into service. Its quite an achievement in both engineering and manufacturing. As a matter of fact this SAK will go into service and will probably outlast me. to Victorinox.

And think of the good karma you gain from the Swiss mountain gods!
