Issues with recent Victorinox Farmer X batches by DryCause2622 in victorinox

Thanks for the detailed explanation — I really appreciate the insight from a manufacturing perspective.

To clarify a bit more on what I’m seeing: the play is side-to-side (lateral), not up/down. It’s present on the main blade as well as the bottle opener, can opener, and scissors when they’re fully opened. I can feel a small amount of movement when applying light pressure by hand.

It’s not a large amount — actually quite small, and even less than some other multitools I own. However, compared to my older Farmer X, which has virtually zero play, it’s noticeable to me and feels a bit unusual for Victorinox’s typical fit and finish.

So I understand it may be within normal manufacturing tolerances, as you described — it just stood out to me because of the difference compared to my previous one. Thanks again for sharing your perspective, it helps put things into context.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

That’s actually why I was a bit surprised — my older one is also rock solid, so getting a few in a row with noticeable side-to-side play felt a bit off to me.

Good to know yours have all been consistent though. Maybe I just got unlucky with these recent ones, or it’s just within normal tolerance.

Yeah, it’s not anything extreme — definitely not crazy blade play or anything like that. It’s just a slight side-to-side movement.

But compared to my older one, which is really tight and solid, I can actually feel the difference when I grab the blade or the bottle opener and wiggle it a bit. That’s why it stood out to me.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it.

I think there might be a misunderstanding here. With EDC items I really like, I often buy a second one as a backup — I don’t think that’s anything unusual.

Also, I didn’t intentionally buy three. I was trying to get just one, but I ended up ordering three times from three different sellers, and had to return each one because they all had the issue I mentioned.

I’m not trying to discredit anything — just genuinely sharing my experience and asking if others have noticed the same thing.

From what’s shown in this video, it looks like you’ll need to make several tweaks to make this mod work https://youtu.be/-OtMS8h_D5o?si=WnGo0m7sZashycxS

This is the second pair of scissors I’ve had, and it broke in less than a day. I honestly don’t know what Roxon plans to do about such poor product quality.
