Instead of putting thoughts into coming up with new designs, they focus on making limited edition stuff in different colors to rip money off people.   >:(

Hey Kamf,

This is exactly what Robert Elsener says they will not be doing any more.
If I read the report conveyed by MWDP correctly

Was Victorinox doing it or middle men having the wherewithal to special order 50 or 100?

Or both?

I google translated some of the comments that were posted in the FB group by Robert Elsener:

First comment related to Seitz Kreuznach raising prices for their coloured aloxes:
Quote

Vielen dank, ich habe diese information an unseren Verkauf weitergeleitet. Wenn der Handler nicht UVP schreibt, knnen wir vermutlich nicht dagegen vorgehen. Es ist jedenfalls keine Sonder-edition von Victorinox. Fruher war es im Werbebereich moglich, dass ein Handler bei einer Mindeststückzahl die Farbe der Aloz-Schälen wählen konnte... und diese dann als Sonder-Edition für Sammler verkaufte.. frown emoticon

Thank you, I have forwarded this information to our sales department. If the handler does not RRP writes, we can not take action against suspected. There is certainly no special edition of Victorinox. Earlier it was in advertising possible that a handler can choose with a minimum quantity of the color Aloz-peeling ... and then sold as a special edition for collectors ..

Second comment relates to adding scissors:
Quote

Ich denke nicht, dass ein solches Vorgehen im Interest der Sammler ist?! Victorinox wird in Zukunft eine eigene Alox-Sammler-Kollektion auf den Markt bringen... die Pionier-Series wird ebenfalls eine Schere erhalten!

I do not think that such an approach in the interest of collectors is ?! Victorinox will in future own Alox collectors collection on the market ... the pioneer-Series will also receive a pair of scissors!

There is another comment which says that scissors are in production too.

I have said it several times, but Victorinox does not charge 2 or 3 or 20 times more for a different coloured alox.

Desire and greed/good business (depending on how you see it)  sets the high prices.

Just got a mail from Victorinox confirming the release of the 93mm alox with scissors. Sadly, no information pertaining release date and price.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

I'm not as in-the-loop as many here, but I thought Vic was talking about killing off the Alox scales. Guess this puts an end to that idea...which is smurfing fantastic.

This was my thought as well. Since my classic covers my scissor needs, this 93mm + scissors news is most exciting because it seems less likely they'll discontinue the alox models.

Thats what I was originally worried about.  When I was ONLY working on the 93mm alox if they killed those off I wouldn't have much else going on.  That did worry me and started me thinking about 91mm modding. 

The only SAKs of the current lineup I dont see lasting are the Delemonts.  They just dont offer much in my opinion from standard Vics and I would put my money on those disappearing sooner than the alox models.

I hear you on the Delmonts. Didn't Vic acquire Wegner like 10 years ago? Buying the competition makes sense, but then continuing to produce pretty much redundant products for 10 years??? I don't get it. There cant be that many people that are so brand  loyal to Wegner that they would go without an SAK rather than buy a Vic instead. Not producing the toolset that you really want is an evil-genius sales strategy but the Wegner thing baffles me.

I liked the original Wengers, I'm just not a fan of the Delemont hybrid versions.  I don't know they just seem weird.   :think:

Do we know if it's just the Pioneer, or all 93mm?
