My suggestions are eBay, Felinevet (felinevet@sosakonline.com) and lots of patience.  They are pretty hard to come by, but those are your best sources.

You could also post an ad in our Tools Wanted section here.

I'm thinking they were never imported to North America. I got mine from a dealer in Australia. I'll check and see if he has any more.

Wenger multitools weren't imported into North America officially.  Some were obtained and brought over, others were part of specific orders, but they were never meant to be released in North America in any great numbers.  It was felt that the price point was too high to compete with Leatherman on their own turf.

Really?  I've been mostly lucky getting things from them.  Of course, the last time I got stuck with a customs bill  :ahhh from FedEx.  That never used to happen before.  I gotta think twice about ordering from them if that fee is going to be tacked on.

Oops.  I didn't mean www.swiss-knife.com specifically.  I’ve actually never bought anything from www.swiss-knife.com .

My bad experiences were with several other companies.  One company sent me a Leatherman Kick instead of a Leatherman SideClip.  Another company didn't send me anything but charged my credit card anyway.  They took 2 months to refund my payment. 


Out of curiosity, I’d be interested in knowing the approximate customs costs if you remember them.
