Wait a minute, has the Cadet got a nail file cut like the metal saw/file instead of the stippled (sand-paper looking) file it used to have? If so, I'm definitely getting one. Hopefully, the 58mms and the Executive gain it too.

Here’s a pic comparison of the LE2018 Berry Red and the standard red... Not my pic... Found it on one of the FB SAK groups...

Two pics made at the IWA 2018 show in Germany. The IWA is comparable to the SHOT Show.

Victorinox was not willing to share ANY paper information on it, nor on any other product. In 2017 they had at least the small brochures lying around.
I asked politely for some brochures or a catalog and the answer was: "We only give brochures to retail sellers, not to consumers. Go and see for it in a shop".
Such an arrogance!! :rant:

There are two possibilities:
1. They have to cut down on costs.
2. They think the knives will sell anyway, no matter how the public thinks if them.

Well, I was really shocked by so much arrogance and consumer dislike. At the booth of Swiza knives it was totally different. They had attention to everyone interested in their products and Swiza's beautiful catalog was for free.

3. Protecting their brick and mortar retailers by driving potential customers into their stores to find out what's available. Brick and mortar retailers in nearly every retail sector are suffering considerably from online storefronts and etailers that can undercut them with much lower operating costs. B&M retail stores have become places where many go to window shop and see things "in the flesh". Then they use cell phone apps like Shopsavvy to scan the UPC and find out who is selling it at lowest cost. Invariably, it's NOT the B&M retail store.

I haven't bought a SAK in a B&M store in decades. Everything in the past several years has been Amazon and ePrey, with a few things from a couple other Internet etailers.

My feelings exactly  :tu:
I was toying with the idea of getting a cadet, but the nailfile instead of the small blade has been putting me off a bit, especially the current "sandpaper" file... But if they bring back the old style grooved nail file, i'm open to overlook the lack of the small blade and definitely get one.

Does anybody has an idea on the possible prices of the red alox ones?
They look cool but i'm guessing they will go for a hell of a  lot more than the same standard of that model, being labeled "special Edition" it just screams "collectors" and "ridiculous price" for nothing more that a fancy box and a "special edition" label....  :rant:

BTW, the Executive already has the grooved nail file, always had. It's the only Sak that kept that same old style file from the begging.

Thank's for the tip Jim  :cheers:

I'm afraid however the shipping cost would be high though...  :-\

I've made up my mind about the red LE, i'm going to get it localy... About 40€, but hey, it's only like 10€ more than the standard one.... i'm not planing to ever do this again, and i really like it...  :dd:
