Whats new for 2017?
on: January 12, 2017, 03:17:59 AM
I've been out of SAKs for a while now. Bought a Spirit late 2015 and haven't had the need or want to buy another SAK since...The Spirit is that damn good!

I recall right at the launch of the Pioneer X (so early 2016) Victorinox mentioned "big things coming in 2017" and was wondering has anything been teased?
I'm hoping for a smaller lighter Spirit. Something aimed right at the Leatherman Juice share of the market, or for Victorinox to reinvigorate their 74mm & 84mm line of knives.

Well, at least 91mm sak's without back tools are a possibility. The last time I went to Vic's rep to buy 91mm scales they asked me if it was with the back cut or without. I was like: but there is no 91mm cellidor without backcut... He was like: Ooops forget I mentioned mate... Top secret eheh  :D

I predict that:
1) they'll discontinue a popular model for no apparent reason
2) reissue an old model with a new name, pretending it's the best thing since sliced bread
3) release yet another range of overpriced outdoor gear for urbanites to tackle the daily commute in
4) some old smurf about a new fragrance.

Meh, I can't be bothered.  Useless company. ::)

Easy chaps. H is just after your attention. He likes to act provocatively so I say let's not rise to it. We all know he loves SAK's. I would go as far as to say that he's a SAK's maniac or indeed, a SAK's addict.

Interventions are always difficult for the addict H, but if you approach it with an open mind, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Victorinox mentioned "big things coming in 2017"
Maybe they're going to buy Swiza. :rofl:
Well, at least 91mm sak's without back tools are a possibility. The last time I went to Vic's rep to buy 91mm scales they asked me if it was with the back cut or without. I was like: but there is no 91mm cellidor without backcut... He was like: Ooops forget I mentioned mate... Top secret eheh  :D
That'd be interesting, but I really hope the "big thing" is not a whole bunch of ones without backside tool. ::)
May it be as the Pattern has chosen.

How about farmer X?  :ahhh

Although if they were to make 91 mm or 93 mm spirit I might have to change my mind and retire my LM mini...  :D

I don't expect a Farmer X in 2017, but I didn't expect a Pioneer X ever, so maybe I'm not good at predictions. It would be nice to see a 4 layer alox model of any kind. If it were up to me, there would be a Pioneer X with either a saw or a file, with keyring or without, and Vic name stamped into the engraving plate like some of the 58mm alox models of the past, oh, and in a a full spectrum of colors of course! This is how bad I am at predictions, as none of this is likely to happen in my lifetime, much less 2017.  :P

Why not a farmer X? As far as I know it is one of the more anticipated knifes from vic. If they miss this chance it would be as if Apple missed the chance to remove the 3.5 jack...  :o

Because their market strategy doesn't include that relatively few of us who would legitimately be able to conduct factory museum tours?  :D
