When we were kids, my brothers and I each got a Victorinox with our names engraved on it when we had the 10th (or 12th, not sure anymore) birthday.
Unfortunately, I lost mine near a cabin in the mountains. It sat out there all winter, and then someone finally found it the next summer and handed it back to us. Of course it was rusted not sharp anymore and the lettering on the name was a bit broken.
That was almost 20 years ago. Recently I had a flash of inspiration and decided to ship the relic to the Victorinox support. They went all‑out: replaced parts, oiled it, sharpened the blade, even re‑printed the cover. They even sent back the old cover because of its sentimental value.
And this for only 25$! Now, it’s good as new.

The pocket knife of Theseus?
The ship of pocket knives
About half my kitchen knives are Victorinox. Are they as good as my Wüsthoff? No. Are they more than good enough and very affordable? Hell yeah.
Wow, that is awesome! I wish I still had mine… lost in sometime in my early twenties.
The only Victorinox product I own is a 14 inch hone. That tool is legit and worth every penny.
