So, there's a new Hunter Pro coming in January 2019. Red alox scales and a non one-handed blade.
Any thoughts?
Has anyone seen it in the flesh?

Alex I thought you had already seen it.

Alex I thought you had already seen it.
Oh, really... (looks suspicious.. could it be fake?)

Could be.
But I'm guessing: real.
-
Was new to me, but after a quick search there are plenty of information about a one handed alox hunter in silver, so the red one is no fake I guess.
Price for the silver one 99 Euro: http://www.schweizer-messer-store.de/Victorinox-Hunter-Pro-Alox

I would prefer it in a one-hand blade. The red is a nice color for sure. :like:
-
I so want a red one :drool: and it’s my birthday next month >:D
-
It’s supposed to be available in the US by the end of the month... and maybe even the rest of the world... Seen some posts of the actual knife... Owner bought it from the flagship store in Zurich...
No thumbhole and nail nick... but plenty of real estate to pinch hold the blade open...
-
Now to mod the OHO blade from the silver one into it >:D
-
Go for it Nick :woohoo:
Take it further with black torx screws and blackened blade and spring... :woohoo:
-
I haven't got any of the 2... :dunno:
-
Get a normal hunter pro and red alox one... ah ah ah
That is if the blades are the same size...
-
In stock Victorinox UK, £105, looks real nice i'm tempted

Just seen this advert for the red pro hunter
https://www.oakedgeknives.com/products/victorinox-hunter-pro-alox-red-pre-order-special-offer-price?fbclid=IwAR09PPZLU2UEAeOfQ3BAqr8BKamuGG6S0rL_fe7ed3iPqFyz6lgDFcS_ZpU
If you can wait till end of February its £90.
Never bought from this company personally so buyer beware
-
Thanks K9, i can wait..usually takes me months to decide these things :D
-
I find deciding is the easy part, the hard part is getting it in the house past "she who should be obeyed"
-
I saw one at a knife dealer last weekend. It looked sweet. 100 bucks on the price tag. I can see this in my future in 2019. :drool:
-
It seems comparable to the cold steel code 4, but a lesser steel.

I’ll be tempted if it goes on sale.

-
Bought one this morning :whistle: hope it comes tomorrow. I’m pretty excited I can tell you :woohoo:
-
Well it’s 7:25 in the morning and the postman usually comes around 9:30. I’m going to be gutted if it doesn’t arrive today lol I dont have a plan B for what to do instead :facepalm:

Don’t think I’m going to use the pocket clip as it’s a bit hefty and not legal edc for me. However it could see some use at work and will got into my jacket pocket.
Usual amazing Vic quality and zero blade play. I’ll get some side by side pics up with other popular folders shortly.

Excellent pics and gorgeous knife Dunc :cheers: :like:

Thanks 👍

It's a beauty Dunc :dd:

It’s a good size blade :like: :tu:
-
The more I handle it the more I like it , not a fan of the pocket clip, sure it’s a really good thing it’s removable and deep pocket carry is good but it’s a bit too big a knife imo for a pocket clip and the clip isn’t that tight but that’s ok for me as I like the slim profile. Apart from that I can’t fault it
-
That's a real beauty :drool:.
Here I was, thinking there was nothing new that I really wanted until the Leatherman Free P4 comes out ...
:facepalm:
-
VERY Nice !!!!!!!!! Dunc :dd:
-
Looks lovely Dunc. :)
-
Do you think the logo could be a bit bigger so they can see it from the International Space Station?
-
Yippppeeee it’s here :drool:

Coffee coming out of my nose.

So im reading this forum last night an wifey says. "I like that one it looks kinda pink, i want that one."
Not one to argue. I did some more reading. Before i get one for wifey.
Two complaints seems to be the steel isnt great and people dont love the pin construction.
While i cant change the steel, has anyone looked at doing the torx conversion? Seems pretty straight forward.
-
If she wants pink, with torx screws and great metal...
(Sorry Switzerland!)
I'd say go for the pink Spyderco Native...

-
I don't think she wants it in pink. It was just more interesting than the standard silver one.
-
The Buck Spitfire might be worth a look - mine's red but they do them in orange and green (and maybe some other colours)
They have aluminium scales, without the waffle pattern, torx screws and they're USA made, which is nice in this day and age. Blade's pretty average, but the price is less than 50 US dollars last time I looked.
Of course if yours or the Mrs's heart is set on the Victorinox I'm sure it's a cracking good knife. It's not often that Victorinox builds a turkey. I'd be more into it if they'd put those juicy red scales on the one hand opening blade.
-
Somebody did do a torx conversion already...

I think the guy (Andy) is England based if your interested...
-
Thanks jaya that would be great :cheers: :tu:
-
Why doesn't Victorinox make them like that to start with?!
That thing looks awesome!
-
Victorinox don’t want us to take them apart by the looks of it :dunno:
