Colour: Signal Yellow
Models: Classic, Rambler (this will be a huge surprise for everyone), Cadet, Bantam and Pioneer x (yes, another surprising move with 5 models)
A Signal Yellow Bantam would be awlsome. I'd have to buy multiples of that one!

I highly doubt Victorinox is selling over a million knives a day. They can't possibly manufacture that many.

The thing that just totally confuses me is that in this era of precise control over manufacturing and production, Victorinox still doesn't offer us the ability to create custom configurations of their core Swiss Army Knife product lines. Clearly there is a market for it.

And some of the configurations they *do* offer leave me scratching my head, as do obvious possible configurations they *don't* offer.

Maybe with KnifeCenter featuring the Rambler so often in recent videos, we'll finally see an Alox Rambler as a regular production item.

As for 2022's limited edition color, I'd like to see black Type III hard-anodised Alox.

That would be cool. I'd like one in green Alox.

My guess:
Colour: Signal Yellow
Models: Classic, Rambler (this will be a huge surprise for everyone), Cadet, Bantam and Pioneer x (yes, another surprising move with 5 models)

Alox Rambler is not a bad guess! :)
I'm putting my money on a Cadet X in the lineup and either gray or black.

Could it be like this then?
Alox Rambler
Cadet X
Pioneer

Reading through this thread I am really confused if there is talk or even if they are gonna discontinue to Cadet :think:.  What the heck are you thinking Victorionx? 

Anyways, I tend to agree with Ether, if they cut a lot of their models streamlining their offerings and bring back the 84mm scissors they'd seeing some very happy people spend cash.  I know the Classic is a great knife but seem a lot of investment into just that?  Fuyume has some valid points.  Its not something we haven't griped about before either.  Some of their configurations leave us  :think: and the ones we have all asked for are not available. 

I thought the Damast Vics did well?  I'm still kicking myself for not getting the Explorer.

The Explorer is still available at Knifecenter and Amazon.  I haven't heard of it being DC-ed.
