Hi Felix! Thanks for the update! It is good to hear this from Victorinox, and demonstrates their integrity and willingness to LISTEN to their customers! Please pass this on to those who are in charge of the project, as we all look forward expectantly for what is going to come. It would be good to take the required time to do the job thoroughly, as they do everything to do with all their products, rather than a rush job just for the publicity. With you there to advise I'm sure things will be done well and properly. Best of wishes to the design and production team! Cheers Felix!

Good video Mr. Immler as always. Do you know if Victorinox will ever offer the Venture Pro with a Carbon blade only. It would make a good backup for the ferro rod in case it was accidentally broken. One could use a piece of steel or flint to make sparks too.

Danke fürs Video, ganz toll! Ich kaufe mir vllt auch so ein Messer und bin gespannt auf die neue Scheide. Wäre echt klasse wenn sie das schaffen, ohne Klappern hinzubekommen .. für mich wäre es auch toll, wenn es statt diesen O-Ring einen richtigen Druckknopf mit Schlaufe dran hätte (Wie bei Fallkniven F1). Und die Farben vom Griff da könnte man noch so viel rausholen (die Form ist ja schon super). Vllt ein schöneres schwarz oder Camouflage … (Rot und Grün lassen es leider etwas wie ein Gemüsemesser aussehen) Ich denke das Messer hat so viel Potential. Ich hoffe sie holen da noch einiges raus! Beste Grüße

Hallo Demut Danke für deinen netten Kommentar. Ich hoffe auch, dass die neue Scheide stramm sitzt und nicht mehr klackert. Wegen den Druckknopf wie beim F1.

Z.B. hier: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qH5lsaR6cdm1fMo.htmlsi=v2AamNK4q85Zkun1&t=112 Es allen richtig zu machen ist unmöglich... mit den Farben ist es das selbe. LG Felix

Hm schwierig ich meinte noch so den alten Druckknopf am Griff oben. Aber ja der O-Ring is vllt auch nicht soo schlecht (wenn er auch auf Dauer hält, wirkt aber einfach alles wackelig). Ja allen kann man es nicht recht machen. Ich kenne das Video .. mein aktuelles ist ein F1. Aber es heißt ja bei der neuen Scheide von Fällkniven, dass es den Griff etwas zerstört wo es reindrückt. Schwierig. Eig mag ich den Griff vom F1 lieber weil es ein angenehmes Gummi (das Schwarz wirkt hier auch wertiger) ist, was den Stahl voll umgibt. Vllt is das vom Vic dafür stabiler. Die Klinge vom Victorinox gefällt mir besser, richtig schön. LG zurück.

Thanks a lot Ernst!

I have come to the conclusion that the best blade geometry for a camp/bushcraft knife of this size is full flat grind, like this Venture knife. True scandi grind is great, but the edge is a bit weak unless you use a super steel, which ironically takes a very long time to resharpen on scandi, because you have to remove steel from the entire grind! Even Morakniv puts a secondary micro bevel on their knives. If you have to use a micro bevel anyway, it’s better to have a full flat ground blade, because it works much better for food prep and other slicing tasks.

What about the issue with the Venture steel/edge that Aaron had over at Gideon's Tactical = warping? Is Victorinox fixing that as well?

@FelixImmler

8 ай бұрын

There are no issues with the steel. The Venture is a special knife with 0.35mm behind the cutting edge. This is ultra thin. That's why the knife also has great cutting performance. The venture is not designed for batoning...or only for very careful batoning. But when I look at the grain of the wood that Aaron wanted to split... it doesn't get much more stressfull than that. Look at the grain of this piece of wood!! Yes, of course, there are 1000 knives that can handle this without any problems. But why? Because they quickly become thick after the cutting edge. But that also means poorer cutting performance. Knives with 5mm blade thicknesses that could have easily split your branch are available from 1000 companies in 100 variations. We wanted to see if there was a market for the extreme opposite. A Outdoor-Knife that is uncompromisingly focused on good cutting ability. I can now say that there is even a big market for it! Yes, unfortunately the advertising text on the homepage was completely different from what we developers had in mind. That's what happens in a large company when 1000 people bake a cake.
