usually when someone posts information like this there is usually a press release, a news article, a notice on the manufacturer's website that they can refer people to. Without a source of information all i have is the word of the person who posted it and internet forums are rife with rumors. Without knowing where this information came from or something else to corroborate the information i have no reason to take it seriously.
I'm not saying you made this up i just want to know where the information came from originally. How did you come across the info? Are you a dealer? Did you get a letter from Victorinox?
As an educated consumer it's my job to question things like this. A post saying "Swiss army knives are going to be harder to find and more expensive so buy them now" just screams to be called into question.
