New Alox Woodsman
on: September 19, 2019, 03:51:41 AM
I saw “new shield” silver Woodsmans (Woodsmen?) on the big auction site tonight and couldn’t resist ordering one. It appears it *might* have been commissioned by the same person who recently convinced Victorinox to produce short runs of the Pruner and Electrician Solos.

Anyone know anything about these?

Thanks for the additional information. I’m curious about this mysterious dealer/collector who has managed to get Victorinox to resurrect these old designs. Can his or her identity be revealed?  I owe them a “thank you.”

Well if you have ordered one from him you will get his contact address ...  :D
I don't want to post here his name. He is also member/reader in this forum and if he want he can add a comment himself.  ;)

Anyone know how an American can order from Bugnard?  I personally like the yellow scales better, and I figure one shipment containing two or three different models (currently looking at Woodsman, Pruner, and Harvester) is a bit more cost-effective.

Good news: this knife made it from Zurich to Kentucky in only four days! 

Bad news: no one was home to sign for the package.  :oops:

My beautiful wife will pick it up tomorrow.

Agreed, I really like the yellow sides. Hopefully someone will provide ordering info.

You can purchase them here:

https://www.mein-schweizermesser.de/en/?info=p84_victorinox-woodsman--bugnard---alox--yellow--new-in-box.html

But I don’t know if this will be most cost-effective than eBay.
