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!

Did they send back the original blade as well? I suppose they may as well since they have no use for it and it may be sentimental for the owner.

For my service, I requested it and got everything they swapped out sent back along. IIRC it is a section on the repair form.

Unless those red plastic side covers are broken.
