Giant Victorinox Display knife!
on: August 16, 2010, 08:08:40 AM
Well now I have seen everything! I know about the giant "moving" display knives but this one appears to be quite different. It even has vintage style tools!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320576012316&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT




Not my auction but I have bought from this seller and his service is top notch.

Thats really huge! What materials is it made of? Looks quite sturdy!

Funny enough, just a few days ago my better half joked that he would get me the giant moving display SAK for my birthday  :rofl: (Luckily I know he won't because he hates huge unuseful things that are standing around and we definitifely don't have a place for such things.)

Hmm, I should show this to my wife. I am a "huge unuseful thing that is standing around" myself  :D and she seems to like me... so maybe she won't mind having a huge display knife in the living room  8)

I'd say  :o

For $38 I would have been very tempted to clutter up the place with it :D

Think of the fun you could have doing a land of the giants photo shoot!

Its the same exact knife. Obviously the 1st seller did not get enough collector interest.

That's fantastic. :D  All the more so in that it's an accurate model of a Super Tinker, unlike the motorised ones you see where all the tools are in the wrong places.

You are exactly right! Check the feedback totals of the buyer in the first auction and the seller in the current one. The first seller screwed themself by not labeling the item correctly.

That's a quick turn around and the buyer/seller is now making an incredible return on their investment.  I would have loved to see the original listing.

I forgot about that one. It does look different though. It has the newer style awl as well. Must have been special made for distributors or retailers.

it looks like the electric one where the tools are moving. There is no space to actually close the blades
