Swiss Bianco Newsletter Issue 2011, vol. 4 |
We are back from the Blade Show 2011 and we sure had a blast in our first own booth! Much to my surprise, we got visitors from Switzerland - Mr. Elsener Jr. and his wife, who stopped by the booth for a chat and took some samples back to Ibach. Mr. Elsener Sr. got inducted into the Blade's cutlery Hall of Fame, and Mr. Elsener Jr. attended the ceremony to thank for this honour. Damon and I had the pleasure of seeing the whole celebration, something we will not forget, and now we have to work hard so that Mr. Elsener Jr. can join his father in the Hall of Fame as well.
Just in time for the Blade Show we got a number of different new Alox SAKs in olive green and blue colour, plus the first prototypes of the Damascus 111mm one-hand opening SAK. Some handmade Ultralight Swissbianco™ OPT, as well as more custom tactical Swissbianco™ cutlery will follow soon.

We made a number of different configurations, with corkscrew or Philips driver,
wood saw and/or metal file, and different exhibition-grade wood. Each piece comes with
a certificate with serial number.
The prices start at $380 each, depending on the configuration and type of wood. |

Swissbianco™ OPT2 are handmade tactical cutlery at its finest,
laminated construction, one side is black G10 and the other is 440C stainless,
giving the benefits of ultra-light weight and a 440C cutting edge.

Now, since the 3 big shows are done, we will concentrate on new products and prepare for 2012,
there will be more tactical knives and more special SAK too, the 84mm firesteel SAK is one of them,
we do more testing this summer and start with the serial production towards the end of the summer.
There will be also be more Damascus coming, a real surprise!
