If I had the spare cash, hell yes.

[kwakster]

Not in a million years.
It's a nice knife, but not worth such an insane amount of money.

[jekostas]

Hm, one yes, one no...

I'll go maybe, just to keep it even.

Honestly, no idea.  It is very pretty, though.

[Andreas]

Not ever, but I'm not a collector.

[Chako]

For that price...yes.

Victorinox produced 1884 units per district, and they divided the world up into 4 districts. Worldwide, only 7536 knives total.

Now if you can get your hands on the Wenger edition, only 1893 produced worldwide. That is a bit rarer then the Victorinox 125th Heritage Soldier.

The MSRP is not good .... I think $250 is perfectly reasonable for such a piece and if I had that kind of spare cash wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

I would love to have a Vic like that, but I would never be prepared to pay that kind of money for it..

[Pacu]

hmmm  i'd pass myself....maybe 125 and under i'd seriously consider. 495 never. Of course i'm no serious SAK collector and my opinion is easily cast aside.

I am a collector but i wouldn't buy that. For that price i thought it was in silver.
What can't possibly justify such a tag for a limited edition of "only" 7500+ knives
you can buy a limited edition (50 pieces worldwide) of a gray woodsman for waaaaaaaay cheaper or even a real vintage soldier for about $50

I don't get it with the heritage knife

Oh yeah I forgot Vic cheated on the numbers, in that case change my vote to no.

[Chako]

What? They made more?

[jzmtl]

What? They made more?

No as you said it's 7536 total. But numbering them only up to 1884 in 4 groups (obviously to give the impression that only that many made) is pretty sleezy business practice.

[Chako]

They were quite upfront with the numbers...so no, not sleazy at all.

[jzmtl]

Well you may not think so, but I do. Either make 1884 of them or number them to whatever total made, that's point of numbering system in limited production.
