They don’t have a “build your own” program which I think would be amazing (but probably not worth the cost on their part)
In the age of modern steels, they haven’t changed their formula. Now, look, I’m not asking for a Magnacut blade or anything like that, but something with a bit more edge retention? How about 14C28N? And yes, I can buy the MKM Campo with M390 steel which pretty much meets my needs except it’s $160. I feel like, with their buying power, Victorinox could put out something with better steel for only slightly more money.
Anyway, these are pie-in-the-sky thoughts. the SAK is a standard by which others look to emulate for good reasons.
I have a Farmer X in green ALOX, a Camper in black ALOX, and the classic Hiker in red ABS and I’m happy with all 3. My Hiker is now my go-to for gathering fatwood in the nearby forest. That saw is perfect for the branches I’m looking for.
