Felix Immler and Victorinox Venture Bushcraft fixed blade collection

[Minotaur]

Felix Immler's new youtube video is about a fixed blade bushcraft knife series from Victorinox.

 

[R_Fonseca]

I like the look of that.

 

[Glass-Wood-Steel]

What a great looking knife, thanks for flagging this one @Minotaur !
I really love the thought process behind this, I will be keeping my eye out for the first drop!

 

[Minotaur]

It looks really good.

 

[Jared]

Actually state the steel too.
14C28N stainless steel with an HRC score of 59.

Also seems the two stones slot into the carrier to make the sharpener. Not convinced of the drill bit though.

 

[Dan1982]

These look good. Glad they’ve put some thought into producing something a little different and haven’t just copied every other mass produced Bushcraft knife. Not mad on the sheath personally but would like to give one a go.

 

[Broch]

That looks very well thought out and produced. I'm not sure it fits my modus operandi, but it does look very useful; not too bad pricing wise either.

 

[Danceswithhelicopters]

Like that alot. The spoon shaving sections and the ambi sheath with bellows is smart.

funny thing that comes up just two days after i talked to a friend about Mac Guyver... a few month ago i posted a thread about looking for a new fixed blade -- as the one i was planning to get is out of stock the purchase hasn't happened yet and a a quick look at the knife mentioned in post #1 looks interesting...

 

[Tony]

They look quite nice

 

[Nice65]

After many years of debate raging over grinds, its great to see a carrot being sliced and not broken

I’m not sure I like the butt of it, the hex spanner is a good idea, but the protruding scraper wouldn’t suit me. Looking forward to reviews, there’s clearly been a lot of thought and input from experienced users.

 

[forrestdweller]

just watched the video and the knife looks increasingly like "i want one" to me does anyone know how high/ wide the blade is?! he mentions only the length and thickness in the video...

 

[Minotaur]

Knife for sale at Victorinox has more dimensions.

 

[Broch]

I think it's 28mm

Sorry, cross post

 

[Laurentius]

Do I need one? Probably not, and I am more into traditional leather and wood sheathes and handles, but on the other hand they do look amazingly functional and I could persuade myself.

 

[Minotaur]

The tool kit is interesting as well.

i agree that wood and leather look more nice (and leather is more quiet and less likely to break in case you crash land on your sheath (not happened to me yet ) but
#1 i live in a topical rainforest climate where wood and leather require more maintenance
#2 a nice-looking knife is more likely to get stolen -- about ten years ago i had an altercation at incheon airport (south korea) where some customs official took a liking to my knife and the clown of interpreter (whose english was as lousy as my korean) told me my knife "would be against international law and therefore they'd have to confiscate it" at which point i had enough, laughed out loud, grabbed my knife from the table and walked out of the airport.as there was zero activity from anyone i'm 100% sure someone thought to get themselves a new knife for free.... (still have the knife mentioned )

These have just become available on Victorinox's UK website.

I've pulled the trigger on a Pro, couldn't resist.
