I have to agree again with you Carl, and repeat what has been said by most here. Today my Swisschamp fell from 4 ft height onto the pavement, and the scales broke and split irreversibly.
and it's the fourth SAK that suffers this in my lifetime. That's enough times for me to consider an alternative material if it were available!
it really wasn't that strong of an impact, but they cracked and as soon as I put the SAK in my pocket twice they fell off, now there's a big chunk missing.
It's a no brainer that Vic hasn't addressed this yet, it's more than a century that they're the king in business and they sure receive hundreds if not thousands of critics on this very subject each year
THAT, is exactly what happen to my tinker! Broke the same way, same place, but your scale actually looks thicker than what was on my tinker. Your's looks like it is older and has more solid material. I was pretty shocked when a whole section of my tinker scale bounced away on the bathroom floor, and when I looked under the remaining part of the scale it was holed out eggshell thin. Victorinox needs to address this issue badly. I've lost faith in the cellidor scales as this has happened too often for me. The old solid cellidor was some rugged stuff and very rarely broke. This new stuff not at all.
Alox or nothing for me from now on!!!!!!
