I think I don't really need to ask but..

[lister]

So I've been away for some time now and a bit out of the loop regarding victorinox news. Am I right in thinking there is still no farmer X?

And please don't throw rocks at me if the question was repeated at least 10 times in the las month... 

[jaya_man]

Yes, the farmer X has not arrived on the scene yet

[magentus]

I have spent quite a lot of time in the future recently and can confirm the Farmer X will be in the shops on November 18th 2019. It will be the first SAK to replace the can opener with a Hoverboot adjustment key.

I see that gimmicky Wenger streak at work. Alox was the wrong choice, it needs to come with a special scale inlay like the Swiss Roller!

Funnily enough metasyntax, you say exactly the same thing in the Farmer X thread in November , and on that point alone you decided not to buy one. Then the week later you have a hoverboot accident caused by a misadjusted field generator and we have a whip round for your Medical bill.

What about different healthcare systems? Do they not improve in time? 

[magentus]

It turns out metasyntax could have opted for free healthcare to mend the leg as is, but on learning that the now global megacorp MTO is footing the bill, went for the fusion powered cyberleg instead.

 I travelled all the way to distant future, to year 1999, and it was still not out...

[lister]

I see the people around these parts of the webs are still totally derailed and temporally dislocated.

Padre, I'm afraid to say I think you are caught in a time loop. This is the 4235th time you've posted the same words. I'm calling the Time Cops to come and help you out. (came and have helped you out?)

The words 'I think I don't really need to ask but..' are begging for immediate derailment 

[lister]

Indeed. 

[magentus]

And, to be fair, your question was answered in the next post, so all these extra posts are gravy!  BTW The Farmer X will be the first Ultralox model to ditch the silver colour and be offered sporting an OC in red, orange, green,blue and black, and there is a 'Stealth' option.

[Thunderpants]

So I guess I must have a rare prototype...

Is that real Ultralox?   

[lister]

I see they went back to the screw for the scissors.

Jup, clearly these are the ultalux scales.

You were lying? Why T-Pants, Why 'dya do it?

[Thunderpants]

I'm sure Syph's made one these, hasn't he? (Without the Blu-tack.)

[magentus]

Syph doesn't head up Victorinox until March 2018, and he discovers Ultralox in June 2018, and develops the hoverboot key in the September, but has to wait until November the next year because that's when hoverboots are actually invented. (By our very own poncho).

He was hoping for a new career as a kicker on an American football team, but fusion powered cyberlegs were banned from the sport back in September of 2021 leaving metasyntax hopping mad (on his one cyberleg).

Hey, I'll take it. Hoverboots just hover. And clearly, they're dangerous. Cyber legs are multi-purpose, they're the Swiss Army knives of... you know, legs. Plus, with a USB port on the side, you can use the portable fusion reactor to charge your phone!

[Poncho65]

Yes the hoverboots are only on paper right now But I will have a working version as soon as the funds from Vic kick in

Hoverboots for all

Or use your cyberleg as a phone!?

[Don Pablo]

The phone function will not come until 2021, mags will tell me.

Maybe the built-in shoe will come off and be the phone. But it would probably only be available on the secret agent model.

I like that photo somebody posted on an old thread of a farmer with his horse and the eyes were covered up so it was an unknown farmer, ie "Farmer X"

But for serious tho.... I dream of farmer X, aka "Alox Huntsman" all the time...last night I thought about it...but I go back and forth between can opener and electrician blade.....

Then I think what I really want is maybe a Carver X...

Then by the end of the daydream I resolve to use a Pioneer and just have a SwissChamp along as well...I pretty much dream of things like this all day.

And want to collect them all, even ones that don't exist.
