Flying through Zurich- do they still sell SAKs at the airport?

I'm transiting through Zurich next month and was wondering if they still sell SAKs at the airport, or is that a definite no-no since 9/11? IIRC they used to seal the knives and give them to the flight crew, who would hold onto it until the plane landed and you disembarked. If they still do, I'm hoping to pick up some Euro-only models. Anyone know?

Yes they do sell Swiss Army Knives in the Zürich airport! Happy shopping.

Thanks. Did I get it right? You pay for it at the shop, and they let you have it when you disembark?

That sounds kinda fancy

Sorry I can't be more specific... You may only be able to buy the knives before check-in so you can place them in your checked baggage. I'll be there next week and could give you more information after the first of May, but that may be too late for your travel.
