Victorinox can do no wrong in my book, but I do have to gripe about where they channel their creative energies. 
The Grip series, for example. I have never had problems with the hold or retention on their normal scales, so I really don't see much benefit to the inlaid grips.
Can't they channel their resources into more features like small saw blades or scissors in their 84 mm. series (e.g. Lumberjack), or two layer knives with inline phillips such as the yeoman or scientist?
Same for their anniversary scale design, and tech series. They're nice, but mostly ornamental. I'm sure there will be buyers for lumberjacks, mausers, safari, yeoman, and scientist models if they started producing them again, rather than all these cosmetic productions. Even in their cosmetic changes,surely there can be more visually appealing designs.
Not criticising, just sayin'. I remain a grateful patron
