Yup, I consider it crazier to spend $$$ on a Victorinox SAK than this thing.  :D
Consider that it's a knife, and $$$ is knife money. :whistle:

Swiss wonder knife... not again... not for that price...

I'm waiting for the sknife pocket knife...

Their steak knifes are crazy, insane, expensive but if you ever need to cut steaks while diving in the ocean and looking stylish at the same time, they are the perfect choice. Also, their knives are beautiful (and I know one of the guys who makes them).

Like this site better. Also the knives. And the cheese. And the dry meat.

Now, I too am waiting for the pocket knife version...
 :facepalm:
The sknives are beautiful, they are also quite clever as they stand upright, without the edge touching the table. If the pocket knife is anywhere near that nice I'm going to buy one.
No pocket knife yet... but they do now have forks, and they are even pricier than the knives. But they are also cool, the fork-head does not touch the table.
Sknife Fork
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

I feel as though I'd like it more if the angle were more subtle.... and at least one or two other tools.

If "everyone" includes me, you would be wrong. When I said I wouldn't take it over any SAK at any price, I wasn't kidding. If I had to make a choice right now to buy either a Vic Daypacker or this thing for $15, I would choose the Vic. And I already have two Daypackers.

Something about it really appeals to me, i really like it..unfortunately it's out my budget but if it was cheaper i would definitely buy one, i also very much doubt it will lose much resale value so i'm guessing even second hand ones will be around that price, looks good to me and would be a great addition to any collection :tu:

Four big things working against it for me:

Very Expensive

Nope. If I could get it out of the TSA hostage box for $10, maybe.

One, the angles. The angles are all wrong. Not just aesthetically, but ergonomically. If it was this big of a deal, you would find more knifes with this shape.

Two, the logo. This is just spiting in Victorinox's coffee and walking away.

One, the angles. The angles are all wrong. Not just aesthetically, but ergonomically. If it was this big of a deal, you would find more knifes with this shape.

Two, the logo. This is just spiting in Victorinox's coffee and walking away.
If you mean the shape of the handle/body is wrong, how do you know until you hold it? Ulli likes the feel of his. Is he wrong?

The cross is an ubiquitous Swiss logo, synonymous with the country and far from restricted to SAKs. What do you think of the cross on Syph's knives, which aren't strictly SAKs?

I like the knife from a creative design perspective. It pays homage to the SAK and to SAK modders like Syph, while putting an original angle :P on things. It is a respectful design IMO. I think there'd be less debate about it if it were much cheaper! You've already admitted that you'd consider buying a TSA'd one for $10.

..when you see +B alox knives selling on the bay for over 500 $ each - and those are standard mass product knives just with a number engraved - compared to the malvaux knives, that are hand produced in very small companies in switzerland and germany, those 250 $ are not that much. The design is indeed very strange compared to standard pocket knives. They feel much better when you carry them or put them in your hands, really "organic" feeling.

Nope. If I could get it out of the TSA hostage box for $10, maybe.

Some of us don't like the knife, and this is a place where most folks are passionate about knives/tools/what-have-you, so you're going to get some emphatic responses whether good or bad. And I don't think anyone is trying to make any personal attacks against Ulli or anyone else who may like this particular knife. I think it's a ridiculous knife for several reasons, but if it works for Ulli or the next guy, then I'm glad they're having a good time.

And on the topic of snagging one off the TSA for $10... I might reconsider my stance and buy one to resell at the bargain price of $120  :D
