Sure.

What does "Workman range with liner lock system" mean?
The picture with it appears to be a wood scaled forester.
Nice, just saw it on Facebook too. Very curious about that Carbon one. XAVT? That's not new?

Maybe they're implying the wood scales will be available across the 111mm range? Just a guess.

XAVT is re-introduced, I don't think they've made it for a few years
Wondering which model will have the damast blade this year.

Nespresso Livanto?
Actually the more specialized the tools get, the less useful they are. The flat screwdriver can perform so many functions, whereas a T25 can do exactly one thing and that is not the idea behind a SAK/MT
Exactly, and what I found out yesterday. I needed to remove a hard drive from an old laptop for recycling. I have a (lone) CyberTool and things were going well until I came to the T6 screws that held the disc in the drive, the CT doesn't have one.
:facepalm:
Yeah, if you are in computer repair I highly recommend to get the T6/T8 and the T10/T15 bit for the CT. With Apple product and many newer laptops these get more and more common. T25 you also encounter but sadly there is no original CT bit for that.Actually the more specialized the tools get, the less useful they are.

So I went to get my plus kit for my Spirit and it didn't have one!
:facepalm:
I do have the cheapo set from Home Depot with the 4mm bits that fit the CyberTool, so I used that. :tu: I now have the CT and a little bag of bits in my kit.

I could have used a big hammer too I suppose. :D

EPICUREAN
http://www.epicureancs.com/about/
Every Epicurean product is 100% made in the USA.
Our History ~
Epicurean was born out of a company making eco-friendly municipal skate parks. The wood composite we used in our ramps is extremely durable and non-porous, but also food safe and dishwasher safe. We started using the excess material to create cutting boards as gifts for family and friends. Demand soared and we began producing and selling a variety of kitchen tools from this wood composite.

The corkscrew Ranger is just weird. :think:
Not an Outrider, more like a Nomad or Centurion, unless 3 layers, and definitely has backtools you can see in LeaF's 1st pic. I disagree with whoever wrote that, the pics say different.
The scales look a lot like the ebony LE Climber. That would be my guess.

Do I see a linerlock? With the scissors and small Philips opening stub as on the Outrider peeking out the other side... That's a new combo.... :drool:

I buy SAKs for a lot of reasons. Tradition is indeed one of them. The shiny red cellidor is undeniably pleasing, but a SAK is also a tool, and being a tool, it has to evolve. They dropped the can-key slot because there was no use for it anymore, they dropped the older versions of the can opener, they dropped the removable pen for 58mm models in favor of the push-down version, etc.
Replacing cellidor with a more modern material that is more durable is not an unreasonable concept.
They should copy Apple and build their SAKs with nothing but aluminium and glass.:rofl:
That way they'd NEVER break and would last literally FOREVER!!!!

How good is your Italian?
I ordered once or twice from here:
https://www.agrariagioiese.it/contents/it/d1363.html
But it was a nerve wracking experience. They list all sorts of cool things which they don't actually have. After I placed an order for 180 euros nothing happened for a week; then I got an email in Italian telling me most of the things I wanted were out of stock. So I hired the best translators money can buy (Google translate...) and asked if they would at least send me the things that were available.
Another week passed. Then I got the shortest email I've ever seen. One word:
Si
Many moons later a parcel arrived, really badly wrapped - but the items were inside, miraculously in good condition.
Empires rose and fell and eventually I got a credit card refund for the things I'd paid for but which could't be sent.
Not a great shopping experience and not one I'd recommend but if they have something you urgently need, you could cobble together an email and ask if they have it before ordering. They are honest, but not dazzlingly competent.
Grazie a Dio per google translate!
Caio!

Black and red Pioneer...
I cannot remember that these models were present in Victorinox catalogs before (in this century :)
I'd only seen that jetsetter model on a far eastern web store, and without the "jetsetter" name. I'd assumed it was a special Asian-market model. I never realised it had been a general issue model. I like it. It'd be a good companion to something like a Pioneer, or a single-blade knife. Slightly less useful in that role now the Pioneer X is available, but it does give you the toothpick and tweezers.

Welcome to the boards koke. :cheers: :cheers:
According to that pdf it says the outrider has a liner lock now? If so that will be a very popular model to have a liner lock 111mm with scissors. Or are they considering their slide lock a 'liner' lock. And will it have the locking cap lifter too?Yes, looks all 111mm models will have a new type of cap lifter since this release.

And this also confirms my conspiracy theory of why they put the nil nick on the wrong side for the pioneer x. Same 3.0 mm pivot size as the 111mm so they can use the same scissors for both. The normal nail nick scissors would have their nick blocked on the 111mm liner lock.

unless I missed it, it looks like they removed the Explorer Plus from the catalog
Some news on SWIZA knives.
There would be some new modells. First a all-black version.
Then it seems as SWIZA introduce a additional woodsaw
(modell D05/D06) and a Junior series.

I agree. I think that it would be great for every single 91mm model to have both a pin and a pen, and for them to integrate that into the larger models as well. I know that costs build up but id be willing to bay the (tiny I'm sure) premium for it. I guess if they did the pen on all the models though they couldn't up the price on the ones that do have it.unless I missed it, it looks like they removed the Explorer Plus from the catalog
You're right, just checked and it was removed, they just added the black scales option to the standard model. However i never understood the reason why at least the thicker models don't all have plus scales with pen, the pin and corckscrew screw driver. The added cost, both from factory and for retail would probably be next to nothing.
Just as i can't understand why all 84/91mm models don't have the straight pin from factory, that costs virtually nothing. I mean if i go to my rep and ask for like 5 pins or so they will give them to me (no charge). They never even charge me for scissor's springs when i ask for like 5 of each size or so when ever i go there.

Then it seems as SWIZA introduce a additional woodsaw

I'll disregard the "famous" part. I wonder what they mean by "360° design" :think:

The Nespresso Alox Pioneer is kinda interesting.
Each knife had scales made out of recycled aluminium from Nespresso cups.
It has a engraving/laser etch on the blade

And a Nespresso logo on the back.
I had a hard time finfing it online, but the price is around €38,- ex shipping.

G10 scales, get rid of cellidor.
Are you mad?? :twak:
Get rid of cellidor?? I understand people like a lot of different scales and scale material, but for me and some others red cellidor scales are the very definition of a Victorinox Sak. ;)
:climber:
I buy SAKs for a lot of reasons. Tradition is indeed one of them. The shiny red cellidor is undeniably pleasing, but a SAK is also a tool, and being a tool, it has to evolve. They dropped the can-key slot because there was no use for it anymore, they dropped the older versions of the can opener, they dropped the removable pen for 58mm models in favor of the push-down version, etc.
Replacing cellidor with a more modern material that is more durable is not an unreasonable concept.
I understand your point, and agree to some extent, but they offer so many scale options already that actually replacing it permanently would be a bit unnecessary. Cellidor is a cheap and easy to work with and durable material if treated with care, and easy to replace. I just don't see they changing it with a more expensive material, they had nylon which was tougher and don't have it anymore.
If they could make scales in a tougher material that looked like traditional cellidor at the same price, now that would be great.
I think there is a lot more important evolutions and updates they can make other than scale materials, mainly in tools (updates and develop new ones)

I think they should find an alternative, keeping the looks but upgrading the toughness of the scales. This one below happened today :-[:

and it's the fourth SAK that suffers this in my lifetime. That's enough times for me to consider an alternative if it were available!

Although the original product calendar images have been taken away by the twunts at Photobucket, I seem to recall that the "winemaster" model was due for release in July. Has anyone seen one yet?If you're talking about Marketing Calendar from Victorinox, it's still available here: https://leaf-vics.com/different-documents-from-victorinox

Winemaster wasn't released yet, the same true for the CT Carbon unfortunately.
it is amazing that Victorinox sitll finds way to innovate and create new designs.

Seconded. Do we even know anything about it, like what tools it will have?:ahhh
According to a Vic brochure, the new Wine Master will be available September 11 at a cost of CHF 129. It will be a 130mm Ranger style model and will come w/a choice of 2 different wooden scales: Walnut (0.9701.63) or Olive (0.9701.64) and a leather pouch.
Still waiting on that carbon cybertool that should have been out by now :ahhh

The Hunter Pro is just one big blade, no tools. I hope it is a really big one hand opening Alox Solo.
Maybe so, but I still want to see a picture of it...Are there already pics of the Hunter Pro Alox?

Syph007 commented on the Hunter Pro a few years ago...didn't give it very high marks; in fact didn't seem to like it's design/mfgring at all.
If I wanted to carry something that big as a single-blade EDC, I think there are too many other good choices.
Still waiting on that carbon cybertool that should have been out by now :ahhhMe too... was supposed to come out end of february :ahhh
Hooray!!

Now maybe they can stop putting a corkscrew on every other model.
The Swiss must drink an obscene amount of wine for all the importance they put on having a corkscrew at all times.

Also, the backtool Philips is useless, the can opener does a better job. So, CS all the way. Plus you can store your eye-glass screwdriver in the CS.Hooray!!

LOOLL :rofl:
Mate... If you came from, or had grown up in Country that produces some of the world's finest wines, and has a proper wine culture you would understand.... :facepalm:
A lot of the casual Sak users over here, if you give them a choice between having a CS or an SD on their sak's probably 70% or so would prefer the CS. And they don't need to drink "an obscene amount of wine"... :pok:
About 90% of all wine sold at stores or supermarket over here and in most of fine wine producing countries are corked glass wine bottles. Any wine that comes in any other kind of containers is usually used for cooking, not drinking...
If we go down that route we could use the same analogy for the bottle opener and can opener to an extent... :pok:
..but too many openers is obsolete then... and it is.
:/

All good CS are 2-staged and hinged or at least here they are. Works a lot better than a 1-stage.

I've never seen a 2-stage hinged lever like that on this kind of corkscrew. Seems like an unnecessary complication, but maybe it's better to use somehow.
The olive wood version looks nice.
But it's £135 on the Victorinox UK shop, ouch.

Slight correction: all good handheld corkscrews are hinged. I sometimes wish there was enough wine in my life to actually warrant setting up the Swiss made Rapid corkscrew I found for next to nothing. Like this. Doesn't really fit I'm my EDC though... :whistle:

But yes, the hinging makes a lot of difference!
Besides WineMaster, we have two another updates! :)You have any idea on the ETA of the carbon cybertool and the Alox Bladeless with flash-drive USB 3.0/3.1;
Explorer LE2017. White Christmas
Huntsman LE2017. Year of the Dog
PDF-files you can view/download in my blog (https://leaf-vics.com/different-documents-from-victorinox). :cheers:

And here's how it looks in the shop window of the UK flagship store with that magnificent price tag. You can't see it in the photo, but the pouch / sheath has "Winemaster" written on it.

I wonder why Victorinox didn't put a cheese blade on the Winemaster, plus the serated 'bread knife' of the cheese knife instead of this plain blade. You would have it all in one knife! And name it "Restaurant Deluxe' or something alike.Because you would have all in one blade...
130$ here...But it's £135 on the Victorinox UK shop, ouch.

...the backtool Philips is useless, the can opener does a better job...LOL! It's not useless. I've used it on several occasions. No, the can opener doesn't do a better job. The can opener cannot reach recessed screws while the #2 Phillips can. Mini screwdriver? Yeah, that's a worthwhile tool for most people. Seems the redeeming quality of the corkscrew is to serve as a holder for a better tool. Well, OK. The corkscrew was on the market long before the mini screwdriver. I think the mini driver was brought to market with the aim to redeem the almost obsolete screwdriver.
The can opener cannot reach recessed screws while the #2 Phillips can.That goes both ways, the back-layer Phillips requires a lot of room to operate, more room than I usually have in a computer case.
2017 is ending soon. Any news on the Alox Hunter Pro?
I was wondering how they would do it. The Hunter Pro´s scales are 3D contoured unlike other alox models.Imagine Hunter Pro with the regular (I mean flat) alox scales..
That way an important part of the ergonomics would be lost.Sad, but true...
Really nice and subdued shade of green on that alox. Sadly the X isn't included in the holy trinity.

So it is now 2018. Has anyone heard what the 2018 Limited Edition Alox color will be? I am probably not the only one chomping at the bit for them to be released or at lease pics to be released/leaked.Nah, I'm still waiting on the carbon CT that was supposed to be released February 2017
