UK - cheap VICs.
on: October 18, 2013, 09:07:31 PM
UK website. http://dash4it.co.uk/

I have only brought one knife from them but had good customer service. A DofE for £11(I have been trying to get a compact, thought I would go for this). They didn't have any in stock and personally emailed me straight away that they were waiting for some.  Knife turned up 2 days later.

Lots of good deals on the website, naming a few here; Workchamp £23 (I paid 30 recently), DofE £11, Swisschamp £24,  CT34 £25 and the motherload, a XLT for £57!!!!!

The girlfriend has banned me from getting any more now (30+) till we get married so over to you guys, enjoy and post pics of what you get. Makes you wonder what retailers pay. They also sell leathermans.

Cheers

Those prices for swisschamps and workchamps seem too good to be true.  Crazy.... I wonder if they ship to canada... :D

What the.. and it takes off VAT when I swtich to canada... 2 workchamps shipped to canada is £42.97

This might get dangerous... but I have really wanted to build an alox workchamp... so I do NEED another donor or 2.

Shipping is only an extra 5 and it takes off VAT... so pretty decent. :D

.....maps :nanadance:
That's how I found it. A colleague was ordering OS maps. A couple of months ago whilst on a job I had given him a solo I got from lowtech, so he passed on the info onto me as he new I had a few. So the true story is lowtech sold a cheap solo, you guys get cheap knives.  :cheers:

I wish I didn't live in the UK now, if it works out that is amazing!

Yeah, it reduced the price of a CT34 by 5 quid for me too. I had to double check what the original price was. :D

Well I had to go for the 2 workchamps for that price.  So with conversion to US funds the total was $72, so that is $36 USD for one workchamp.  Pretty good since right now the going rate on amazon is $90 USD.  I dont know how they are so cheap but Its work the gamble for that price.   :tu:


Ironically the LM OHT I retunred I just got credit $75.  I would much rather have 2 workchamps vs a LM OHT... so that works out nice.

Well that's pi$$ed me off no end!!

I've got most of the bargains on there but didn't get them at those prices.... Christ, what's the mark up on Vic's?

Anyway, to cheer myself up I've ordered a DofE  :climber:

They are really cheap. :o
I don't claim to know it all, but what I do know is right.

I impulse bought one, and when I got it I played with it for a day and realized that it wasnt for me.  I really dont like sliding pliers.  I can open and close regular MTs easier than the sliding kind, and then you get full size tools.  There were lots of build and quality issues with it too. I just didnt even have the energy to do a full pic tutorial and write up on it.  The worse issue was the plier tips didnt meet, there were off about 3mm side to side as if the pivot was on an angle.  The store I bought from has a no hassle return so it just went back.  Not for me.

They have leathermans too.  Are any of those better priced than typical UK prices?

Some of those are good prices, like the Rebar, but others aren't.

I can get a Wave for a reasonable amount less than they offer it.

I just ordered the Cybertool 34 and a 5-8 layer Vic leather pouch for £36 shipped..  :o :o
But... I don't really need another Vic and I surely don't wear belt pouches, so I blame you Nik... And of course you too Kirk..  :twak:  :P
