I sure hope they get to keep the contract... things wouldn't be the same!

Me too.

But I didn't know that Victorinox took over Wenger. Interesting.

Shopping from the Victorinox site is daunting. SO many to choose from...

Great article, Rocky. Thanks!

Yeah, it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't still produced in Switzerland.
I mean- then it'd just be an Army Knife. That's lame.

Swiss Army Knife- that just rolls so much better!

(And a side note- I had a Wenger once and didn't really care as much for it. You can't beat the original- Victorinox!)

Either way, it still wouldn't be the same.

That's like having stuff made in other countries and then shipped over here and sold as American products... oh wait, never mind.

The question here is...would Mac ever own a "techie" version of the knife, or would he stick with the traditional? I think he'd stay with the traditional version.

If he was finding he was getting hi-tech assignments in which the techie stuff was useful then he would, otherwise I think he would stay with the standard SAK
