One of the reason I really like Victornox knives is because of their feel. They feel like quality. This knife looks great, but doesn't have the traditional Victorinox feel. The shield is made of white plastic, rather than the traditional steel. The plastic body of this knife doesn't have steel immediately under it and as such it feels like cheap plastic rather than solid and durable. The rest of the design is really interesting, but I guess this is meant to sit in a box rather than in your hand.
