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

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. ::)
Maybe he even loves SAKs "too much" .....Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Group hug ?Oh go on then. Don't mind if I do.

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 :DThat'd be interesting, but I really hope the "big thing" is not a whole bunch of ones without backside tool. ::)
OK, a Cadet X would be truly outstanding, which makes me think it will never happen. :facepalm:
No, the Tourist shouldn't disappear. I want a new model, Tourist+fork.

I would buy a Spartan with a fork, but I happen to like the 84mm format for tools like this.No, the Tourist shouldn't disappear. I want a new model, Tourist+fork.
+1!
Will they ever build a fork into their knives? I like the fork on my Mikov CAK, I like it a lot.
(I would love this fork built into a Tourist, don't know whether it's possible).
I was thinking more along the lines of......... Come on, Bring it in.

That's why I carry two (or more).Will they ever build a fork into their knives? I like the fork on my Mikov CAK, I like it a lot.

In the Victorinox episode of Ultimate Factories, Mr. Elsener showed a prototype that had a fork, but it was mentioned that the things that many use their SAKs on would make it too unsanitary.

I have this crazy idea that the big news for 2017 will be a merger of the 85mm former Wenger and 91mm Victorinox lines... there's a crazy amount of tool crossover; the potential is there to move to one size but provide more variety in tool combinations. Some loved tools would go in the process (eg. Do we need two scissor and two plier designs?). Some others could be nicely combined (eg. Evogrip plus scales; lock blades).
This may be far too radical...

I don't think this is likely since part of the deal seems to have been to keep the Delemont factory running. It would make much more sense to remove the Victorinox 84 mm line since they are much closer to each other and the 84 mm line has been in a sad state in regards to tool alternatives for a really long time. If they just make sure to bring back a more traditional scale I think that could prove to be a good idea.
No idea if really new comes from Victorinox. I hope so.
With other tool combinations it is difficult to sell much more knives.
If there is another tool combination that Victorinox can sell massively, I think they would do it.
Hundred diffrent wishes of a few hundred knife freaks have unfortunately no priority.
Luckily for the modders!
I wish for a long time Victorinox would offer other Scales.
91mm Scales, made of finer materials, with which you can upgrade (or order) your knife.
I think of titanium, carbon fiber, G10... :dd:
Red celicor are cult, but not all knife fans like it...

Thanks for the link.
The fact that they have to be glued is not optimal.
Such scales by Victorinox, easy to click on as the celidor scales,
Made of carbon fiber, titanium, etc :dd:
It wouldn't be press-worthy, but a wider array of bits for the CyberTool would be nice and something to sell to current owners as well as new buyers.
And ya know, MiniChamp XAVT would be cool :P
more Cybertool bits would be great, Do you have the extra bits that the Swisschamp XLT had? I've only been able to source three of them (from Pizzini), still after the extra flat drivers for my CT29:

Indeed I do! Would like more hex sizes, and maybe even a tiny phillips since there's no tiny phillips for the corkscrew (another thing they should make!)

Where did you manage to get the bit with the flat screwdrivers on both ends? I've been having problems tracking that one down, at least from somewhere with sensible postage rates
