Damast 2023 LE out now

Just received an email from Victorinox saying the new LE Damast is out - just ordered a copy for a SAK friend as he’s on the road, bit pricey for me, though…. It’s on the UK site, but I’m sure the others will have it too!

I think it’s very pretty! At least we now know what it is!

I'd consider purchasing one if I had the coin. A very nice presentation. And they had me at Micarta. C'mon, Victorinox, let's see some Micarta offered on regular production SAKs!

This one is absolutely beautiful! Truly luxurious feeling. I handled it in the flagship store and it is great. The scales have such a great texture and ivory look!
The price is bit too much for me but would say it’s justifiable in this case - it is not just another limited edition, but the limited edition.

And it looks like paper Micarta, which is a type absent from my collection.

Yep on the Vic website - And Nick4 has already updated the Wiki
Checked out Vic Australia and OMG - Look at that price - That is about 585 USD

They also have it as a non lockable blade - Hmmm - Come on Vic Oz - Get it right
Looks like I'll get one shipped from Heidi Shop - That's only 400 odd Euro - Which is about 550 AUD.
Well that's if I had 550 AUD -
(...... which I do not !!)

They get cheaper every year
I think they are trying to see how much, we are willing to pay for the LE model, like an experiment

Ranger is an interesting choice. AFIAK, not one of the more popular lines, and with so many of the Wengers getting chucked in the last year or so, I kinda figured the whole size was on its way out. Don't think this one is for me, but I hope those who do want one enjoy it.

Not sure I agree about the Delemont Rangers
I have no stats to back this up - But of all the Wenger families - I would have thought that they would be the ones to stay as they are so unique and so different form the standard Vic lines.
They are also absolutely superb tools !! (IMHO of course
)
And this is the third Vic Delemont Damascus Ranger - That has gotta say something !!
