Vic Soldier £26 on Amazon

[Spatha]

Victorinox Soldier (2008, 111mm version) £26 on amazon.co.uk.  That's the cheapest I've seen it anyway.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Victorinox-0-8461-MWCH-Swiss-Soldiers-Knife/dp/B002H3WAU6/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1386404783&sr=8-16&keywords=victorinox

It's actually out of stock at the moment but due in on 13 December.

Don't Fret.
Amazon nearly always lists the soldier at around that price mark.

Tosh I think between the both of us we do a pretty good job of covering the UK amazon site. Also as we both live in the same city I recon we must do interesting things to there geographical demographics!

We can live in hope!     I've checked further down the page and the description is definitely for the new Soldier.  I've been looking for a few months and it's always cost about £30-£33 when I've checked up till now.

Stop looking at serrated blades, you know how it will end 

[Taxi Dad]

not sure if anyone is interested in this ?

I haven't made a purchase, so I can't comment, BUT I am tempted 
(looks like they do have PE bladed ones too  )
if anyone has/does go for it let me know if all is 'Kosher'

I've bought from them before and it was hassle free, I appear to have bought from them again

sorry Mark 
 
what did you order ? I am liking the idea of a PE although I could probably still cut myself with that  (don't look through their other goodies  )

[Smashie]

No Worries, I've been wanting a GAK for a while, I went serrated.

I seem to have less of a problem with them than some people do 

[Taxi Dad]

I can't really be trusted with anything 'sharp' (ish)
it's possible i'd be better suited to stamp collecting 
had a problem with a 'pen' I got for my birthday last week, took it apart to see how it worked (you know how it goes  ) and the spring managed to 'fire' the innards across the room, almost killing the cat and ricocheting off the TV screen. needless to say the wife wasn't impressed, specially as I can't find all bits and haven't actually written anything with the damn think yet 

keep us up todate on your purchase, pics would be nice

No risk of cutting yourself! The main blade on mine is Smurfed.

I'll try to get some photo's of it later, I suspect the PE version is a serrated that's been sharpened too many times.

I guess it's my first project knife

[Smashie]

Ok here are the photos

[Taxi Dad]

 
looks to me like 'someone' has sharpened that in some form of 'sharpener', like a tungsten carbide 'V' sharpener (maybe a 'pocket-pal'?)
who ever it was needs a darn good slap 
(or we could send round 'The Canadians'  )

[Smashie]

I was thinking the same, I may see if I can get it to PE without loosing too much.

If that doesn't work then it gets modded.

It's a pity, everything else is in pretty reasonable condition

[Taxi Dad]

keep us (me) updated Smashie Markie, it's a bit of a shame that it is so well used 
I  WAS tempted to order a PE one but you may have saved me a few quid before Xmas

Stamps have serrated edges as well

[Sparky415]

A paper cut can be nasty   

I'm just glad no one has mentioned Victorinox serrated bread knives

the legend that is 'Sparky' ! (and to think we let you have an Axe or 25)

[Cupboard]

Hmm...

I wonder if we didn't know that the PE was just a SE with the serrations ground off if we'd mind?
Thinking of getting one for a friend of mine.

As none of my axes are serrated I figure they must be harmless

not sure i'd be comfy with them being 'ground off'  'sharpened' possibly 
if you do order one Tom keep us posted 

[Cupboard]

Ah, I was getting this thread muddled with one where someone said they reckoned the serrations had been ground off
