I will assist in a Victorynox assembly procedure
Just to tell you that tomorrow, with my 8 years old boy, we will attend a demonstration of how Victorynox knives are produced.
It will be a private presentation and I will try to post as many pictures as possible.
Take care,
Simon

Yes, JZMTL. It was. And was worth it. Knowing before, I would have subscribe your name. And it was possible to just walk in and wait a couple of minutes. The total procedure took 8-9 minutes. The model is the Spartan: big and small knife. flat screwdriver, corkscrew, pointy dagger thing (90 degree) toothpick, twizzers and bottle opener. 21$.

I'd make one with seven big knives. Then I'd only have to sharpen once a week.jzmtl wrote:I wish they'd let people do other combinations though.
Thanks for the pics, Simon! Looks like a fun experience!

Outstanding pictures! That looked really cool!
Loved how clean and prestine the machinery is, and I love how in spite of modern technology and machinery, you still gotta put in some elbow grease with hammer and file to get the job done and done right. Cool knife!
Thank you for sharing these pictures! Looked like y'all had a most wonderful time.

My son was so proud he took the SAK to the birthday party he was invited to. I had to tell the story of the knife to the parents, but being scouts, they were just jealous about it.
They know I am a knife lover, but having a child assembling his own tool is something you don't get to live often.....
Take care

You are right.... But I think the machine was made just to built 1-2 models..... But I can tell you that the knife my son has is as sturdy as the SAK I had for the past 28 years....

Very cool your son got to make his own knife. Certainly an experience he will keep for a lifetime :) Kudos :)
Peter I'm going to adopt your gold tagline of Spyderco's motto if you don't mind. The kind of sentiment it professes warrants further exposure :)

For only three payments of $39.99, I'll send you a bag of endura parts*, how's that? :DDonut wrote:That is really sweet. I like that Victorinox will take the time to do such a thing. They seem to be a truely blessed company.
Now where do we sign up for the Spyderco version? lol

lol, by Endura parts, do you mean the sheet of steel the blades were cut out of? :Pjzmtl wrote:For only three payments of $39.99, I'll send you a bag of endura parts*, how's that? :D
