Swiss Bianco Newsletter
Issue 2015, vol. 4

Hello!

First, we would like to share some unfortunate news with our fellow Swiss Army Knife collectors and enthusiasts. The recent change, made by the Victorinox marketing in Switzerland, will affect the future runs of Swiss Bianco special SAKs. Some unique models of the past will no longer be made and all special +B SAK will now feature the +B logo and name etched on the main blade. While disappointing, this new development provides additional motivation for Swiss Bianco to explore new possibilities for the future of the SAK, and we will share the results of our work in time.

The latest Swiss Bianco Special Victorinox SAK run, featured in this newsletter, includes some popular alox models in classic all-black and all-red colors, along with some new models in Summer Lavender, which proved very popular in its first release earlier this year. The all-red models, including the Soldier, pay homage to the early all-red alox Soldiers made by Victorinox in early years, as well as to the special 10-piece Swiss Bianco 2008 Soldier.

The all-black Farmer without keyring was made on special request from the members of the Victorinox Freunde Facebook group. Those members have the exclusive access to ordering this model until Sep. 30. Any remaining pieces will be made available to other collectors starting from Oct. 1.

Best Regards.
