There has been a lot of rumors last year, about the possibility that Victorinox is bringing a new member of the Pioneer-series to the market. A Pioneer with scissors, thats what everybody and his aunt where talking about.
It turned out to be true, what a thrill!
In my humble opinion the most discussed new entry in the last few years...
You can imagine my exitement, as my peferred dealer informed me, that a package was on its way to me (Preorder when you can...)
But, what could it possibly be?
We know the overpack from previous Limited Editions, but whats it gonna be this year?
Doh! A Pionier X with damast!
Well, the blade at least
Nicely done, the presentation case. A high quality cardboard box, window and a strong magnet, lest the Pioneer goes AWOL
Under the inlay with the magnet we find the description, I´ll upload it for your interest:
The blade is a piece of art, I´m stunned:
Even the Alox-scales are different this time. I´d call it Gun Metal Grey, Victorinox calls it Grey with a touch of green. What ever the name of the colour, I like it a lot!
Speaking of Limited, in this case it means, that only 5000 pieces are made.
Considering Victorinox has a daliy output of roughly 120.000 knives, thats realy nothing. So better get going, if you want to get one!
(I sterilized the serialnumber, so don´t get confused, that there´s just a 0 )
The Pioneer-series is made to be tough. But honestly I have a hard time, putting a beauty like this trough its paces. Enough others to choose from
The beauty...
Speaking about functionality, the tolls a Pioneer comes with should be well known by now, but to be thorough, heres a tool-shot:
Geez, there´s no blade?
Sure it is!
The firt to post what the little blue one is, earnes the titel SAK-connaisseur of the day!
So, what can one say about Victorinox, that hasn´t been said a thousand times before?
Outstanding quality?
Build to last?
Best bang for buck ratio in the whole business?
Addictive as hell?
Amen to all of the above
Victorinox makes fun, each and every time, till the next one arrives...
Thanks for indulging me!
If you have any questiones, shoot!
