History Channel will be having "Axes, Swords, and Knives" on tonight at 7 pm. Just saw it to be coming up next or I would have posted sooner.

... counting down.

I've seen it. It is well worth watching.

The sword maker Paul was impressive to watch. Missed the part about the defensive folders though, fell asleep

It was pretty cool. I was astonished when they said how many knives Victorinox puts out every day.

 

[Stormdrane]

They have to make that many to keep up with TSA confiscating so many of them.

Good program. I really liked the Vitorinox segment.

Missed the show - but does anyone remember approximately how many (according to that segment) Victorinox manufactures daily?

 

[powells85]

I'm pretty sure that it's an older show and with the aftermath of 9/11 they're production numbers dropped because sales dropped. I remember hearing that on here somewhere.

 

[Lone Hunter]

IIRC Victorinox makes around 21 million a year. this show said one hundred and some thousand a day.

 

[edb]

Unless I slipped when clicking on the MS calculator, that's still 80,000 plus per day, assuming 50 weeks/ year, 5 days / week.

Holy moly! That's a lot!!!

Where do all the old ones go?? I haven't thrown any of mine away yet...

Most likely in TSA collection bins.

I though Mike Meyers was just kidding in his movie Goldmember when he goofed on the way Dutch people talk. After hearing the guy from Vic. on the program......he wasn't too far off.
