Great finds! That dragon SAK is beautiful. I have the Year of the Goat version but unfortunately no box.

At one time there were several dealers on ebay with the Victorinox Chinese New Year knives. I picked up three or four, including the Dog, Pig and Rat. However nothing in recent years. In addition to the Dragon I've seen the Tiger, Rabbit and Ox, but haven't been able to get any of them.

The links don't work for me, might be a cookies thing. Will investigate later.

The links worked OK for me earlier today but not anymore

Just go to the website and use the search. I found very cool Sportsman models, the Wenger Nature Series (Otter, etc.) and other cool stuff

There are a few that I would like for sure.

The image is supposed to be "War-Mart" a spoof of Wal-Mart logo. Click the link and see it .

If anyone can figure out how to contact them, and whether they ship to the USA, please post the info here.

Here's some Chinese New Year's knives: Monkey (2004), Rat (2008), Pig (2007), Dog (2006), and Rooster (2005)(all Victorinox Climbers). At the lower left is what appears to be an older Wenger Year of the Rabbit.

Very nice collection you have so far,  I would also love to get some of them, especially the rat one, it's my chinese zodiac sign, the monkey one is so cute.

[Reinier]

Very nice! Do you have the boxes too? I only have a Goat, no box.

Panda SAK is cute

I have boxes for the Vics, buried away some place.
