A couple, maybe 3, years ago they were $50-$55.Yea, I didn't catch that at first. Even last years limited model retailed for $70
I don't love the pricing but I kinda like the color ...
I wish people would stop buying multiples of the same knives simply because there is a variation in color. Victorinox has little motivation to improve existing products (like making a Cadet with scissors) when they keep selling out existing models based solely on a slight color change.
I had the same thoughts but I thought I'd wait for our resident "That guy", and I just knew you'd be along in due timeOr maybe folks can buy what they like, and it's totally fine. Victorinox has a good business model, and their products are excellent. If you don't see something you specifically want, you can always go aftermarket.
Yes, innovation and recycling don't have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, they are different sides of marketing.I had the same thoughts but I thought I'd wait for our resident "That guy", and I just knew you'd be along in due time
I'd love to see 84mm scissors as much as the next guy, but I don't really see any correlation to that and less variety in color, and plenty of us happen to enjoy that variety in color.

The 84mms just fit my life better and the thing it lacks the most is a scissors.
But new tool sets/combos would be nice.
A "vault" series would be welcome, they've cut a lot over the years. Even Leatherman brought back some of their originals.
