Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

I've got the bug! I've always been a collector of sorts. Flashlights, Hotwheels, knives, etc. I tend to be very specific. Right now i have a couple SAKs, a Black Huntsman Lite and a Black Deluxe Tinker, but am becoming obsessed with 2 different segments of SAKs. I have a 2011 Damascus Climber on the way and am desperately looking for a 2010 Damascus Pioneer. I intend to purchase any and all future Damascus editions. I also have a Silver Farmer on the way and want to collect all possible colors of the Farmer and possibly all variations of the Pioneer. The question is where do I look? Is ebay the best place or are there better/different options? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Tom

There are a few good Victorinox dealers/sellers on eBay. Send me your email address and I will point you to a couple of good sellers.

I agree with your liking of the SAK. I carried a Wegner daily since 1973, and now when I remember I put my Victorinox in another pocket. One thing to avoid, maybe since I found out about custom handle/scale makers the hard way. Some do not have a mill machine, and the handles they retrofit will not have the toothpick and small tweezers in the insets under the scales. That is the hallmark of usually good folks that only go half way. Pick someone who can do the job right.

 

That way you can buy all 8,430 color variations avaliable in the G-10 dye kit.

Hi Tom!

I just started in the last couple of years.  eBay is fine if you know what you're looking for, and are familiar with scammers and such.  I've bought quite a few on Amazon.com.  I got a Swiss Champ for $35 (MSRP is $80) when they were having a sale.

Smoky Mountain Knife Works is also a great online company, and they sell just about any brand of knife imaginable.   (smkw.com)

 

Good luck and have fun!

1 866 GET-SWISS  One hand Trekker( Damascus) $ 399.00 site called Swiss Knife Shop. Not sure if it will help you but I was just on the site, it is in stock.
