.. with fulltang, wood or nylon handle option and flat ground blade...

it would be perfect for outdoors, camping trip, or hunting....

doesnt have to be fancy blade steel (but optional would also great) for easy sharpening and keep the price reasonable...

i'm not an outdoor person, but i would definately love to have one :D
 
since i'm a big fan of victorinox... and i miss the fix blade that victorinox made in the late 80's... its not that nice though, since the handle is just chromed and plastic, and also the blade is half smally serated...

but i see your point guys... thanks for the inputs... its just wishful thinking though...
 
I think that victorinox is a great multi tool manufacturer and they have their market all to themselves in my mind. Fixed blades coming from them would be like having microsoft build cars. I'm sure they could, but computers are more their thing.
 
Don't forget they have a great business in fixed blade kitchen cutlery. It wouldn't be hard to take the same handle, change the blade shape, and make a stainless Vic Mora-type knife. I think the market is too small outside of Scandinavia for them to sell well enough to justify the manufacturing. On our side of the pond, the outdoor market for Mora type blades is mostly restricted to the knifeknuts who know. The rank and file pick the meanest looking, heaviest, shiniest, coolest sheath knife.

Vic made a FB then? Happen to have a link or pic of it? I did not now that they did one back then and this is the first I've hard about it (yet another one to get for the Vic collection ).
 
Download their catalog from their website - I am also sure I have seen a fixed blade from them.

I never held it or saw it live - but if it's from Vic I'm sure it is along the same quality as their SAK's.
 
quite right about Victorinox havin' listed or at least had once marketing an outdoors knife or two in past catalogs.
but they weren't victorinox, much less swiss; but were spanish made.
i think they were from muela.
but let's not forget that both Victorinox and Wenger were official suppliers of the swiss made SIG bayonets as well!
now, if only victorinox could have officially converted some of those into regular usin' knives, without having the bayonet attachments naturally or not...
 
the current situation is that victorinox and swissbianco work on an fixed blade. the ok from ibach i have and they really help as best they can.

what did cost time is that the prototype of this knife was confiscated by the us custom in atlanta airport and we lost alot of time cause this miserable action.

the second problem is still the burglary my ex buisenesspartners daugther and friends did to me, witch basically destroyed alot of my projects and caused huge delay.

this two events should have never happened and i try to get replacement money for that. relative soon my new workplace is up and running, for complete this prototype, then test, then send it to ibach for reproduce, first as an swissbianco knife made by victorinox and if its an sucsess, we will see, back then we started with less and look what we got done :D

goal for me would be that victorinox sell the standart steel version and i do the say damascus and high end steel versions. but we will see.

so what is different on my design? its an fixed blade and we basically joined the swiss army tool character with an universal fixed blade. say the handle of it will feature different tools, the two side scales will be replacable, later giving options of what tools etc one want to have in his fixed sak...

no pics jet but i will update in time in my swissbianco forum here on bladeforums.

the sad thing is that so fare, the fixed outdoor blades sold by victorinox, spl in the swiss market, where 99% made outside swiss and the quality of these do not near match these of an sak or vic kitchen knife. so i hope my design/idea will catch on.

good luck on that colaborative victorinox project "swissbianco"!
yes, i do see the need to keep some aspects of the SAK if it's to be in line with the victorinox product range.
just consider an "easy-to-fix" modular attachment mode for future customers to have a personalized choice of preffered SAK blade tools replacements!
