I would, but I'm on the other side of the pond.  Just a bit of advice, though, I'd probably not say I'm skipping work for a personal reason; never know if the site's being read by a boss. :/

Sorry mate i've seen you post too late.

Well, I went there (bloddy hard to find, even with a GPS! ???)
The bus isn't huge but they showed me all the new products. On the road climber, OH master, swisstool, t-shirt, fragrance, luggages


don't buy anything we wouldn't ;)
I was so impressed with the perfume that i had to buy it...  :twak:
... just kidding

I had a voucher from the Victorinox shop in bond street (I'm a regular customer  :D) to have a complimentary On The Road spartan made in front of me.  :gimme:
I actually made it myself! really cool to use the machine to stack the layers and put everything in place. The only thing i was really looking forward to see up close was the "spinner/riveter" but unfortunately that wasn't available...
...Instead they flew in a swiss guy with a hammer  :rofl:

Anyway i've now got a non-alox knife you cannot buy anywhere...     which in my book is pretty good  :D

And aside from online, can you purchase any of the OTR items at the stops?  If so I'm going to be torn between Charlotte and the gun and knife show. :/

Yep. great stuff this machine (I even asked if i could borrow one for a bit ;) )
Unfortunately no pictures but the video availabe on Victorinox website give a very good idea of what the bs looks like inside.

I'll  post a picture tonight of the "Spartan by Zag" :D

You can buy their stuff on the bus. They will be very happy to take your money "on the road"  ;)

Here is the "Spartan by Zag"  :D


and a climber i bought


The handles are really soft to the touch. It's made of some sort of rubber but apparently they have no intention of producing them for other knives than OTR ones or in different colors  :-\

Thank you Grand.
I made an error... I want to say a 2 way conversation, not a way! My goal is not to speak as a marketer, not to sold any product (you already buy them !) but to listen what you think about the brand, our products and what you want to change.

funny, I do have some memories of buying bond street at one time, and even establishing a few hotels on it. It was a nice green colour.  ???
