Any special Items available at the Victorinox Factory?

It is possible that I will be able to visit Switzerland during 2013.
In case I manage to visit the Victorinox factory in Ibach, does anyone know if there are some items, knives someone can buy there that are not available online? Is there a shop to buy victorinox items?
Or you can only just see the factory and some special items?

If there isn't.. there really ought to be to be honest. If nothing else just some scales marked with Ibach or something.

Maybe they'll let you sit down with one of the knife builders and let you build your own knife. That'd be quite awesome.

You can observe building of a Spartan with engraving at the Geneva shop and I think in Ilbach too. They have a shop at the factory I read but I know nothing about Ilbach specific products.

Not sure you can get a factory tour.
When I was there in 2007 I bought a "Blumen" Spartan with Edelweisses on the metal scale; a Mountain Bike Tool Kit with bicyclists and tire tracks on a black Spartan with pouch and Blackburn Victorinox tool; blue denim knife pouch -none of which I have seen elsewhere.
Also a new (EDC) Executive that I had them put "Ibach" on the scale.
A nice large store.  Environmentally-conscious factory.  And a soccer field between the factory and the rugged peaks of the Mythens.
Don't miss the antique heavy-hammer machine out front !
