New Explorer or reincarnation of Woodsman b?
on: July 16, 2015, 03:35:11 PM
Hi All,


I'm a little bit confused - found on ebay "new" model of Victorinox knife, listed as "limited explorer 2015 (Mexico edition)".
http://www.ebay.com/itm/252026628233


 
Accordingly to the pictures in listing, ID of this model is 1.6713p15, so search in google returns a lot of links (majority of them to the mexican sites). For example:
http://www.swissshop.mx/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1012#.VaeukfkrKUk
http://hules.mx/tienda/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=2298
http://www.linio.com.mx/Edicion-Especial-Navaja-Explorer-17-Funciones-con-Sierra-de-Madera-%2B-Cordon-Emblema-Negro-de-Obsequio-%2B-Funda-de-Nylon-de-Regalo-%2B-Envio-GRATIS-Original-Victorinox-1.6713.P15-1529140.html


This knife looks as usual Explorer + wood saw. Accordingly to SAKWiki, this model was produced as "Woodsman b" (unofficial name) and for now it's discontinued.
So, I cannot understand - what exactly happened? Victorinox relisted old knife?
Any help will be very appreciated.


Thanks,
Alex

One of our newer members has been selling these Woodsmans (Woodsmen?) with great success. See here for link.

I think it is a special run of the Woodsman for the Mexican market.

My favourite model - it's good to see somer newer ones being made. I had to mod mine from a Swisschamp and Huntsman. It was worth it though.

Hope this helps to answer your question
