Trying the Victorinox repair service for the 1st time and sent it in to their Monroe Center in Connecticut. Summary Day 1 - Create Repair Order online Day 1 - Mailed to Victorinox - Paid for USPS - $5.85 Day 6 - USPS delivered to Victorinox Day 11 - Victorinox email received knives Day 17 - Victorinox emailed shipping w/ UPS tracking Day 18 - Victorinox charged $5.41 per knife Day 21 - Received my knives back Total Cost $ 16.67 Total time for repair was 3 weeks from printing form to receiving back my knives. 2 weeks (11 days) was for shipping transit time so actual repair was about 1 week (10 days). Overall, quite good. Huntsman is spectacular. Explorer is functional again, but due to its age might be better to buy a new one than seek a repair. The new scales alone are wow! Absolutely stunning like a gleaming gem. Thank you again Victorinox. For $17 it’s not cheap, but reasonable.
An introspection and ongoing dialogue with myself on how to live simple in this modern, materialistic society.
