Victorinox Spirit in the UK

Where can I get the best deal for a Victorinox Spirit X (with the scissors and smooth blade) in the UK? The price in Amazon is currently £80 (US$120)

I got mine from Tim (felinevet) because it still worked out a better deal even with postage :tu:

Thanks for that. I've just found the Spirit RT (Black version) on felinevet (EDCSource) for $99 +14 shipping to UK. That works out cheaper than £80 for the Stainless steel version on Amazon. I'm SOOOOOO HAPPY!!!
Thanks again to you guys on the MT forum for helping me spend my dosh!

Did you have problems with Customs? How long did it take to arrive?

This is going back a couple of years, but I don't remember having any issues with customs (certainly no issues legally, but you might get tagged for import duties).  IIRC it arrived very quickly, the postal service between the US and the UK seems to be very efficient most of the time. :tu:

Most packages I've received from Tim have been with me in about 10 days (give or take a bit), and the only time I've had any Customs intervention is when I've had a bit of a shopping frenzy and there's 5 or 6 in the box. Even then it's not been every time, and it's still been a great deal on what it would have been otherwise, plus a lot less hassle with Tim than some other places on the net too  :)
