UK residents beware, there is an opportunity to personalize a SAK...

Just left the store now.
Quite frankly wish I had not bothered.
Staff were a rude and dismissive. One gentleman starting serving me and when I queried wether the front could be etched as the knife on there website had its front etched, just said I don't think it did sir then turned his back and starting dealing with the person behind me.
So I was left standing there with my card in my hand. After then waiting for the other assistant to finish with a customer I started speaking to her and handed her the card  she turned her back and walked off with out saying a word and started chatting to another assistant on the other side of the shop floor.

I wish I had gone to work.

I must say I'm kinda with you. It wasn't a great experience, I didn't personally have an issue with the staff but I'm a bit disappointed at the fact I couldn't have yellow scales even though that's what was on their site. Went for black in the end which I'm sure will look great - when they turn up!

Also picked up a couple of leather pocket sheaths, one for my alox classic and one for a 4 layer SAK which is currently housing my Field Master. Also picked up one of the leather sheaths to clip on a key ring, that will house my Mini Champ. Oh, and a kitchen knife with an orange handle - couldn't resist!!

I do think if your ever in a city that has a Victorinox store it is well worth a mooch round all the SAK's, it's a great display.

Atb, Jon.

This has been my general experiance of Londons Vic shop,with one very notable exception(I was served by a very nice lady,and got a free 84mil SAK)

I rather think the Vic shop os for high rollers looking to buy a brand name rther than the Movers,Fixers and Enabler of this august institution!

I had a good look around the displays before going over to the counter where they were processing the orders for the free knifes and decided i was going to buy a solo and what was labeled as a   Red displayed next to it, looked like a solo with a corkscrew as I have a thing for 108 mm at the minute.

But after being spoken down to and then ignored I just thanked them politely and walked out.

And then to top the whole experience I bought a coffee and sandwich from Starbucks and sat down on a stone bench on Oxford street to eat it.
I finished my sandwich stood up and walked two paces leaving my coffee on the bench to throw the sandwich wrapper in the bin turned round to sit back down and a woman had sat in my seat. I was going to point out that I was sitting there and that was my coffee she was keeping company. But I thought what's the point and being that my dander was already somewhat up it was better I just took my coffee and go home.

I just received mine...I asked for yellow scales though.

[Neil]

Still pretty cool in red though

Very cool, whatever the colour.  I think someone said that they weren't actually offering yellow in the store, perhaps they just ran out?

I must have been one of the lucky ones, cause i got a yellow one with the london skyline on it.

You sure are lucky, that's what I wanted. I opted for the same engraving but black scales, can't wait for it to turn up!
