Love it!

Looks great, SurgeUK! I’ve just ordered one myself from the same place you did, though their stock is now showing as 23! I have to say I do love the look of those scales! Cheers for the heads up, SurgeUK!  :cheers: Strange that a UK dealer should have them for sale before Victorinox offers them?!  :dunno: Probably get an email from Victorinox on Friday morning!  :rofl:

Ah, just watched the Vic Spain video where he clearly says the launch date is 16 Oct (so we can expect the emails from Victorinox on Monday), but that dealers were going to get the knives before then - should have watched the video earlier, d’oh!  :facepalm:

I love this knife.  Can't wait for Monday the 16th, although it does mean the weekend will be over.  Sigh....

Yay, my winter magic 2023 arrived yesterday (but I was out at a Beerfest at my local, hence the late posting!)! It’s hard to capture this knife in a photo and do it justice though as SurgeUK has pointed out.  Monday will soon be here, Myron!  :cheers:

Th knife center page is up!  Can’t order it yet, shows “discontinued,” but it’ll probably go live Monday.

Today I've got e-mails from two shops from austria and germany, where I regularly buy something swiss...  :facepalm:

The winter magic 2023 cadet is listed here for 65€, so this should be the regular price.
Best regards and stay safe,

Wolfgang

Sent the link to my wife for a Christmas present, I'll see what she says.  :popcorn:

And now that its confirmed the price in the US is $65, what is everyone's thoughts on that price-point?  Since its only $20 over the standard cadet's price here and $20 less than the pioneer X winter magic from 3 years ago, I think its a fair asking price.

Placed my order for two this morning.

I agree $65 is a fair price.

I was going to order from Swiss Knife Shop and use my coupon but they sold out before 8AM. I called to double check and the guy said they got less than 20. I would figure 10,000 shouldn’t be that rare though...

Anyways, I got mine at Knifecenter so all good.

Ordered two myself this morning.  I checked Vx's site at about 9:00 AM EST and there was nothing.  Then checked back about 1/2 hour later and there it was! 

Got one coming for me and one for my kid's Xmas stocking.  $65 feels fair to me today, but 20 years ago I wouldn't have done it.

I think $65 seems a good price - I didn’t mind paying the £5 premium I paid to get mine last week! I’m sure you’ll love the look of this when you see it for real, though it is interesting to note that alox is quite thin and there is a spacer between it and the tools, though I’m sure none of us will be giving this one a “hard supper” as a certain Canadian on YouTube puts it!  :cheers: I’d love to see how they make these alox scales!

Interesting about the spacer.  Would you mind taking a pic of that? I know the cadet has had a washer between the scale and the blade since they switched to the thinner blade stock many years ago.

I'd love to see a good close-up picture of this arrangement as well.   I've never seen an Alox SAK with a liner!

Gustophersmob - Myron had it right, I meant a liner next to the alox - not seen it before in an alox knife either! Hopefully the attached shows it:

Wow, that's a very high liner...

Thanks for the pic!

I confess I don’t see the liner. It looks like regular cadet scales to me (which are thinner than the 93mm alox scales). If it’s the flat edge part, that looks like the normal scale edge, but maybe I’m not seeing it correctly.  :think:

I do see the washer between the blade and scale which has become normal on the cadets, though I’d prefer the older, thicker blade stock.

Well, she will neither confirm nor deny ordering one for Christmas for me, but I’m pretty confident I’ll be very happy in a few months.  :mail:

Looking closer at it with a magnifier, I think you’re right - it’s a ground edge which I initially thought looked like a liner, the brightness of it fooled me!  :facepalm:

Thanks Henry.  I was looking and looking and couldn't see a liner, much less think of a reason for them to use one, so I'm glad I was seeing it correctly!
