No toothpick and tweezers. They made it worse
The Victorinox tweezers are… very low quality compared to other offerings. I’ve been using an ALOX Farmer X for a couple years now and I never miss the toothpick or the tweezers. YMMV of course.
Better than nothing. You’re not doing high level precision stuff with the tweezers, you’re picking up small stuff or picking your nose hairs
My second carry is the Civivi Sendy with a far surperior toothpick and tweezers. Not only better than nothing but better than most!
Putting a bit of knurling on a the handle and a few cut outs is now modern?
I was thinking the clip was the update.
And removing the toothpick and tweezers
none of the alox models had them. Though as a gardener I wish they did
where’s the bluetooth with a hardcoded password for whistleblowers to leak on social media to let the app use it
where’s the SaaS subscription to open it
… the AI features? does it include a blockchain storage?
WHERE’S THE BATTERY I CAN’T REPLACE, JESSIE?! WE’RE NOT COOKING
dump & pump a victoryNFT when??
By putting holes in to save on material? Checks out I guess.
Thy also massively increased the price for those new ones.
Im glad that they are trying stuff, but I can’t carry this. Locking blades are illegal in the UK.
Also no scale tools (tweezers, toothpick etc) and as others have said, the design language is a bit cheap.
It’s sexy and sleek, but it looks like a flea market knife. If I didn’t see the branding I wouldn’t give it another glance.
They’re trash and always have been. They’re cheap toys for people who don’t know what tools are
Which apparently includes you. Tools are functional devices that perform various jobs. Victorinox has always provided that. Writing them off as “trash” and “cheap toys” ignores the fact that they actually work quite well. They offer good designs, decent materials, and excellent quality control. A Victorinox is more than enough tool for most people. They are not going to appeal to steel snobs, but they are solid practical tools at reasonable prices.
My every day blades are customs with blades in S90V and Magnacut. I also carry a heavily customized Leatherman Free P4. I obviously prefer those, but I also have a Victorinox Rambler, Super Tinker, and Outrider that I sometimes carry instead. They have fixed a lot of things for me over the years.
There is a great deal of difference between a Kia and a Lamborghini, but most of the time you just need to get to the store and they will both do that without any problems.
