History

The SwissChamp XLT was introduced in the year 2000 shortly after the Cybertool became available. It replaced the much rarer SwissChamp XL model which had only been in production for a couple of years.

 :whistle:

Nice try  :D

Hello,

I just wanted to say I have some news and rectify my last post.

I'm in direct contact with a Victorinox retailer that has been working with Victorinox and selling SAKs for 15 years.
First thing, this thing about a list being sent every year with discontinued models is nonsense to her.
They never know beforehand for discontinued models but they have a note "discontinued model" on the invoice instead.
The only model that is discontinued for sure is the Expedition Lite (Expedition Kit), it was discontinued in september 2020.

For the rest of the list, she gave me her own opinion, but it's just hers and isn't something 100% sure :

- Classic red transluscent : I doubt it!
- Classic blue transluscent : I doubt it!
- SwissLite : Possible!
- Midnight Manager : Possible!
- Every model "@work" : Possible!

- Traveller : This is more likely!
- Traveller Lite : This is more likely!
- Expedition Lite (Expedition kit) : Discontinued september 2020!
- Spartan Lite : Possible!
- Swiss Champ XAVT : Possible!

- Swiss Army 6 (Rancher) : It's more likely (we've been talking about it for 5 years!)

So if some of you watched VicSpain video (which was the source), I don't know but it seems to be bullsh*t

Hello everyone,

Apparently, some SAKs are discontinued (list below) as of 2021, is it really confirmed for all of them?

- Classic red transluscent
- Classic blue transluscent
- SwissLite
- Midnight Manager
- Every model "@work"

- Traveller
- Traveller Lite
- Expedition Lite
- Spartan Lite
- Swiss Champ XAVT

- Swiss Army 6 (Rancher)

I'm a bit surprised for the XAVT as it's a collectors' SAK.
For Traveller, Traveller Lite and Expedition Lite I think they are rather expensive and don't supply anything much except the screen, and the sales are pretty low every year I guess.

:D the story is, i bought it off gumtree, it was listed as a swiss champ, I messaged the seller to say it was the XAVT, considerably bigger and more expensive than a swiss champ. Seller replied  I could have it for the same price for being honest !! he even had a new battery fitted before posting !
One of those rare streaks of good fortune I think.

Ouch touché  :twak:
Truth be told, I wouldn't sell, reason? I'll never be bothered to look for another if I did. Same goes for all my collection. A mate offered me £1500 for one of my Wenger Giants, I declined.....somethings are just not for sale. He didn't take it well.
Maybe if I was jobless and destitute I'd think differently. But I put years of my life building up this collection, on the cusp of seeing it go up in value I'm hardly likely to cash in now. Besides they are all part of my sons heirloom.

A mate offered me £1500 for one of my Wenger Giants, I declined.....somethings are just not for sale. He didn't take it well.
Why ???  ?? ..... Nobody is under any obligation to sell   
.... Maybe he should have upped his price ..... "Every man has his price"    ........... Although maybe not when it comes to Tosh's collection    ;)

Re : Wenger Giant..
My mate owns just 2 wengers

He bought both at the same time I bought mine. I also picked up the Giant a few months later and told him it would be a good buy (£625 ?  :think: ) but he thought it was too much...I had several sleepless nights myself before taking the plunge.
He recently wanted to buy mine, offered me £1500 but I declined as I don’t want to sell.

I have/had a interest in Wenger hence my collection, £1500 is a lot of money and a good return on my initial outlay, but these are no more, If I sold I’d have a hell of a time trying to buy another.

As for my son...
He hasn’t ever seen the collection in it’s entirety- in fact no one has!! He’s currently going through the moody teenage years made worse by the current lockdown down. I wouldn’t trust him with a butter knife ATM.
 :ahhh

Everything’s stored away out of sight these days.
I don't claim to know it all, but what I do know is right.

I just watched the video. If what the man says is true, then a lot more models are discontinued as of 2021 than mentioned in Guibur's list above: various Evolutions and RangerGrips, last gen Hunter Pro, Spartan PS, Spirit XC (!) etc. It's like watching a horror movie really. I am still bathed in sweat as I write this...

Dare I ask which Evolutions? As it stands, both Evolutions I own (16 and 28) appear to have been discontinued. This IS getting to look like a nightmare.
