I think Jack knife and SG have said it all. I have received more then a few 2015 and 2016 production models this year and have noticed absolutely no deviation in fit and finish.

Sour grapes!
I've owed hundreds of Vic's over the past 30 plus years. I've never had a lemon. As many knives as they crank out daily, they still have a fabulous quality control protocol. I'm not concerned about a decrease in quality. I think Vic is too good for that.
I would like to ask again whether Victorinox quality has become less consistent, or is it still safe to order Vics sight-unseen with the expectation that the knife will arrive without defects?
Yes, it's still safe to order Vics sight-unseen.I would like to ask again whether Victorinox quality has become less consistent, or is it still safe to order Vics sight-unseen with the expectation that the knife will arrive without defects?
I feel a bit uncomfortable about posting the text of the newsletter here but it can readily be found by going to the SwissBianco Facebook page. I'm hoping that what is being reported is an isolated incident. It would be sad if one of the few knife manufacturers whose strong quality control could automatically be assumed is having difficulties in that area. IF the report is accurate I wonder what is the length of the supply chain so that any reduction in quality would be apparent to us when we make new purchases.
