I got mine today. It's simply stunning. Probably the nicest looking SAK I ever had. The only thing that comes close is the damast Swisschamp with the carbon scales. I daresay nobody who gets this will be disappointed; it's an instant super classic in my book. If it came with scissors for, say, 80 Euros, it would be THE SAK and I would buy a whole stock for edc, as gifts to my nearest and dearest and as shelf queen(s). Thank you for a job well done, Victorinox!  :hatsoff:

P. S.: I was a bit unfair in the above post, the Winter Magic PX deserves to be mentioned in the "comes close" category, together with the Swisschamp. Still, the Cadet's scales are quite a step ahead of those two imho.

I believe that may be even quicker than with the 2020 PX winter magic.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see these going for many multiples of the original price on the secondary market.

This is the guy from which I've got my CadetX, so I'll expect great craftsmanship!
Victorinox should be the one bringing out a Cadet X.

Arrived! It really looks great, even better than pictures. Also ordered a pouch to put it in from Etsy (in tan). Will take a photo when it turns up.

LOL, that my store too bro  :facepalm:
And I've been looking almost on a daily basis for it to be available. Today i went there and was already sold out....

And i'm actually pissed at them, as i bought a SAK and some scales and parts, they sent the SAK and where waiting for stock on the parts and was due the following week... Called two weeks later to add some more items to that shipping, and still waiting for it to be sent till today, and the main item sale was on the 27th September...  No email justifying, no nothing.
I can't even get them on the phone the last days i tried to call to find out some info about the shipment.

Needless to say i'm getting pissed!!  :rant:

BTW... Here, they have a lot better on-line exclusive prices for regular line SAK's: https://electropescador.pt/1482-canivetes-victorinox

For any of the mods; since there is a link to the 2020 pioneer X winter magic in the sak clubs thread, should this be added, too?

I was checking them for the last days, several times a day. I saw it announced on the 23rd, at night. Placed the order then and there.

 :woohoo:

I never had any problems with them. Tried calling them a few times, but it was always easier to mail them. I always got a response, even if it took a few days, never a month, like you say. Doesn't sound like them. Try sending an e-mail, I believe they'll get to you soon. The few problems I had, they were always ready to solve them.

 :think: :think:

Thanks for the link. Yup, the "regular" SAKs are more affordable (not so much the SE). Good to have a backup place.

I was checking them for the last days, several times a day. I saw it announced on the 23rd, at night. Placed the order then and there.

 :woohoo:

I never had any problems with them. Tried calling them a few times, but it was always easier to mail them. I always got a response, even if it took a few days, never a month, like you say. Doesn't sound like them. Try sending an e-mail, I believe they'll get to you soon. The few problems I had, they were always ready to solve them.

 :think: :think:

Thanks for the link. Yup, the "regular" SAKs are more affordable (not so much the SE). Good to have a backup place.

 :cheers: :salute:

Yes they are usually  relatively quick to reply, but i wanted to add a few more things to the order to take the advantage of the free shipping from that order, so by phone is easier for me.
But what pisses me off is they said they'd send "next week" and a month later still no feedback at all. I don't mind if it's late coming from Vic or other problem, but at least contact the customer explaining and apologizing for the delay. It's just common seller/customer courtesy IMO.

Still to answer today. I'll have to send an email and see..  :dunno:

Hi Mac, I really hope you will eventually find a dealer which still has them in stock. Don't give up the search, it's  worth the effort. I got so carried away that by now I have amassed three of them. :facepalm: That has never happened to me before. And they don't even have scissors. Victorinox really hit this one out of the ballpark.
