how's the performance so far?! didn't watch it, yet but there's a new YouTube video from Felix Immler about fixing issues with the sheath...These have just become available on Victorinox's UK website.
I've pulled the trigger on a Pro, couldn't resist.
AFAIK Felix co-designed the VentureCurious....is Felix a brand ambassador now?
It would make sense after all the videos he's done on Victorinox knives.
It certainly looks like him blowing on the fire in one of the stock photos.
How long until the UFK? ("the ultimate Felix knife") that would be so much fun to play with designing, fixed or not.
I wish I could tell you, but Victorinox are having issues with DHL and the knife has been sat in the Midlands for a week!how's the performance so far?! didn't watch it, yet but there's a new YouTube video from Felix Immler about fixing issues with the sheath...
When I ordered my Ben Orford parang a couple of months ago the exact same thing happened with me with DHL.I wish I could tell you, but Victorinox are having issues with DHL and the knife has been sat in the Midlands for a week!
I spoke with them yesterday and they think everything should get delivered by the end of this week.
Well, it's going back.how's the performance so far?! didn't watch it, yet but there's a new YouTube video from Felix Immler about fixing issues with the sheath...
The drill bit is a standard sbs (something like that) so you can have any size you want.It came as no great surprise that the company that created the SAK should make a fixed-bladed knife have a few 'additional functions'! That said, I like the shape of the blade and the flexibility of the system, though how often I'll need a 20 mm hole bored into something, I'm not too sure.
As I've just recently retired, I might treat myself to a little present...
I'd say that the finish was 'fine'.That's really useful to hear of your experience with it and to see pictures of it next to your Joker - many thanks for posting.
The firesteel does not look great; I think I'll stick with my usual, chunkier one.
Would you say that the knife was well-made and well-finished? I'm iterested in how it's put together, rather than the materials used.
I was going to click on the Pro version but, from what you say, it's not worth the extra. Maybe - and that's quite a heavily stressed 'maybe'...- I'll try the ordinary (Amateur?) version and see how I get on.
seems there's quite a few other disappointed customers out there (in my case a supposed 3day express delivery of documents took 3weeks (with several lame excuses from them) which cost me over 1000us$ extra...)if i'd become president dhl would be asked to pack their bags in a hurry and leave the country...When I ordered my Ben Orford parang a couple of months ago the exact same thing happened with me with DHL.
It sat in their Midlands depot for about a week then got sent back to Ben, and he had to re send it.
Second time it arrived 24 hours later.
It may end up being sent back to the sender as mine was to Ben.
DHL couldn't give either myself or Ben a reason for the delay.
Hope you receive it soon, I feel your pain.

LOL I never know what I'm going to learn in what thread here.to go back to the subject: guess i'll give the knife a "miss" and look for something else. that "joker" for sure looks nice
That's right, mine's a flat grind.I like that joker. To be fair it comes in a flat and a scandi. I think it's a flat in the pics isn't it?
The more I look at the Victorinox, the more I like it... but the cheapskate in me also wonders if the odenwolf/ wolfgangs w1 is a better deal for 35 euro. The Vic is probably better... thinking out loud I guess. I don't need another knife anyway
