[ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] next year needs to be a Compact with some sexy scales on it and some snowflakes on the blade. It's going to be hard to ever beat the 2020 Pioneer X
To be honest, I fear Victorinox made a bad move with the 2020 Winter Magic Pioneer X.A new pattern (and special colour) on Alox scales? And on a Pioneer X model, to make things even more awesome (or worse, depending on how you look at it...). My first thought when I saw the 2020 Winter Magic was "how exactly are they going to top that next year?". And I'm sorry to say, but turns out they can't (in my opinion at least). The fact that it's a cellidor model would mean that carrying it one time in your pocket for fun might already scratch those special scales, which isn't the case for the Alox 2020 version. And I've always found SAKs with batteries a pain in the *** to store, even to a point that I actively avoid buying them.So, for me it's a SAK that I can't carry, and I can't store in the collection and only look at it once a year. I'm basically scr*wed.Anyway, I was quite relieved when I saw the 2021 version, since our budget is very tight for the moment, and this turns out to be one temptation less... Just my own, humble opinion, of course.
