A few weeks ago, I sent my 1985 Swiss Army Knife back to Victorinox for a broken blade replacement.

It came back today, fully repaired, cleaned, polished, lubricated and in a new box.

Total cost: £10 + return postage.

They sent the knife back with an invoice. I didn’t have to pay a penny before the job was done.

A product that’s been out of production for almost 40 years, repaired at very little cost by the original manufacturer.

I’m stunned. Happy, impressed, grateful and stunned.

I have at least a couple of victorinox Swiss army knives, I will keep this in mind!

    They also make an excellent all-rounder kitchen knife that only costs 5€. It’s super sharp despite being in use for years. Best purchase ever.

      I have the same knife I think, I sharpen it every couple of months and it’s still my go-to after 5 years despite the shutty plastic handle. Great steel for the price.

      I used to hate these knifes because of the plastic handle that felt a bit cheap and stubby. Then i found one in a store marked town to 10 bucks or something and i bought it for things that i wouldn’t use my nice knifes for. I really started to like it, super sharp and easy to resharpen
