No Vic Ranger Knives??
on: March 31, 2019, 08:50:23 AM
Just switched on the laptop whilst enjoying my first morning cuppa
The default MSN page shows a link to Victorinox....never seen that before :-

https://www.victorinox.com/uk/en/Swiss-Army-Knives/Our-Pocket-Knives/Tips-%26-Tricks/cms/swiss-army-knives-tips?utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=Taboola_UK_EN_SAK_VictorinoxDach2019&utm_content=SAK_tipps_and_tricks

Had a quick glance, but no mention of the 130mm Ranger style, but did show the new large Alox and 111mm knives.

Is there something that I don't know about

I don't claim to know it all, but what I do know is right.

 :facepalm: sorry Nick4

You are quite correct. maybe I should wake up properly before posting!

Still, it's the first time ever I've seen Victorinox ads here in the UK, slightly surreal considering the high number of murders from knife crime here in the UK. A little tactless some might argue....

There are also ads for smartphones and alcohol, despite the incredible high number of death they cause on the road. SAKs are tools, not weapons and besides Victorinox also sells perfume / cloth and luggage (what was the ad for?).
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

The dobbers running around with knives in London are always armed with gigantic and excruciatingly ugly short-swords with massive serrations designed for no other purpose than disembowelling other people.
Nothing Victorinox makes comes anywhere near this world of awful design and murderous intent.

:iagree:
Lets not forget the thing that is advertised the most of all: cars.  :ahhh
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Absolutely right!  Cars are the most deadly weapon of all.
