Just got the email through....so many to choose from now.

Some really nice ones both alox and celador. Clear colours look great.

I’ve never had an SD but I will now... maybe several!

I got the email (this morning) as well. Some nice colours there but the SD is just too small for my EDC needs  :dunno:
Here's a wild crazy idea Vic; how about offering these colours to all of your range  :pok: :twak:
(especially the Alox 84/93mm  :D )

I think that they might, just might, sell quite well :think: :whistle:
They don't like it up 'em!

I don't see those silicon cases lasting long. The small attachment loop, at least.

You're a Gent. I've now subscribed, although some of those colours are a bit funky, flower power SAKs or disco colours (showing my age a bit now).  :-\ :-\ :-\

Totally agree. I’d be coughing up for a Farmer X in several of those colours ...and pretty much any  celador model in transparent orange!

Yep, I agree.
The SD may be the most sold, of the Vic knives,  but that's only because if the limited editions.  How about them selling the scales, by themselves, so that we could mount them on other models .

Just ordered one in the Fire Opel and one in the Tasty Grape.  The purple one is destined for my wife's keyring and the orange one is for mine.

Oh god I don't have money for this  :facepalm:

On the plus side Mrs Geared has placed a request that I pick up a 'cute cow case' that I was reassured would not go immediately missing  :think:

Looks nice  :like:
But not really something i'd spend any money on...  :dunno:
Basic standard red for cellidor and plain silver for alox are just fine for me...  :D

I couldn’t resist I ordered my first two Classics.  Now waiting for them to arrive.  I went with two alox - Wild Jungle and Night Dive.

 I support the sentiment that in larger sizes many of these colors would fly off the shelves.

Starting with the Classics is a clever way for Victorinox to get some real-world market research on the most popular colours...I would not be surprised to see some of the new colours added to the 91mm line in a year or two...  :popcorn:

If that's the case, I voted for tropical surf and chocolate fudge.   :facepalm:  Don't judge me.

I would definitely get another Pioneer X if available in several of those colors. 

Now if they brought back 84mm scissors and in some of those colors, my wallet would be in serious trouble.
