Victorinox New Model Production?

[Hashishiin]

Yeah, I was thinking how much easier modification might be if they created just one model that was screw-apart construction. Mainly all of my thoughts are focused towards ease of certain modification.

I’m submitting this thread out of curiosity, so don’t read it in an upset tone

So…I’ve been wondering why Victorinox hasn’t jumped on the ideas that are presented to them? Or why they don’t browse through forums (even beyond BF) and gather ideas, interest and demand for new models?

I remember when many Vic users wanted a 93mm pioneer with scissors
Modders made them…
People bought them…
Now victorinox produces it (Pioneer X)

Victorinox has a website which allows for community submissions for new product ideas. I’ve submitted my share over the years.

It’s been a demand for a while now for a Cadet X to be made.
(That’s an 84mm Alox Cadet with the addition of scissors)

My question to Victorinox is, what’s the hold-up?

We (knife community) are not necessarily asking for new steels (which could be nice too) but just the addition of one more tool.

What’s stopping the R&D department?
We’re literally telling you what combos to try / make. Is there something I’m missing?

Thanks for lending your ears, just bouncing a question I’ve had for a while.

I have not seen this on their web page, maybe I need to be loged in?
I am not sure that just submitting different tool configurations to already exsisting models is what they are looking for if they ask for product ideas. And like you said, modders do it all the time. That should tell them that if you want a different tool set up, you can basicly do it your self... Maybe what they are looking for is more in line with the Evolution or SwissCard?
Personaly I would like to see a more "traditional" line with wood, bone, horn, to be added to the existing lines. Or why not a exclusive MOP line?
