2016 desert camo classic and huntsman...kinda dissapointing.
on: August 30, 2016, 11:45:43 AM
was waiting to see them, now that i have, the pattern and color scheme is kinda dissapointing.
perhaps in real life it may look better, but it looks like a white base rather than sand.

From the pictures they look OK, in a Desert Stormy kind of way. I don't see any white plastic.
I just wish Victorinox was a bit more generous with the special edition scales. When was the last time you saw a Mountaineer with anything but boring red? The Huntsman always gets the fun stuff!

I just wish they could find a way to make these drawings/colourings more robust.

Me, I've still got my heart set on one of these French beauties. Which are getting hard to find these days.
39 Euros is a lot for a Huntsman with white scales and a dab of paint, but they're sooo pretty.
