Any stateside folks needing an Asia mule?

papercut · **on:** December 11, 2013, 04:48:57 PM

I'll be making a visit to the USA in a few weeks and I would be happy to act as mule for stateside folks who may need exotic Saks. I have a direct line to the Wenger agent and Vic office over here and can get some/most non USA and various other Saks. prices here are not great, usually 80 to 110% of retail, but some deals exist.

I'm working on scoring Wenger scales atm. We shall see.

Oh yeah, I am in Taipei.

Shame I'm not in the US, I've been desperately trying to get to get my hands on a 2-11 year of the rabbit knife

Appreciate the offer!

Wenger has some black handled models that were available in Japan, such as a Cyclist.

There's also a Victorinox Surf Tool with white handles.

Can you get either of those?

Is there a new Chinese New Year knife available (Year of the Horse)?

Thanks.

I might be interested in a black cyclist and/or the white surftool too if you can get one....depending on price!

Thanks for the offer!

After checking with the official agent, I can confirm that the black cyclist is not in this country. I'll ask the Vic agent about the surftool and year of the x models. Last year I brought Coloswiss a few year of the x models. I have also seen some strange spartans or climbers here with sports on them.

Cheers

I wonder why it's called a Surf Tool. It looks like an ordinary CyberTool 29 I'd say

No, it has a special surfboard tool.

This is a cool one as well:

I see. Thank you Reinier.

Yes, that's a cool looking SAK. I hate how these drawings fade away if the SAK sees any pocket time though

I know it takes time for them to fade but still

ok, I just talked to the Vic rep. no surftool sorry only the trans blue and red 29.

I was about to make a joke about 6 kgs of heroin in exchange for a Spartan Lite, but I really don't think the feds have a sense of humour...

Thanks for checking.

Is that a new Year of the Horse (2014) or the original pricey one?

How much are the Olympic athlete ones?

papercut · **Reply #15 on:** December 13, 2013, 12:43:51 AM

it is a new horse around $65-70, and the Olympic ones are around $40-50 iirc.

So what all is available and at what price?

Thx.

papercut · **Reply #19 on:** December 13, 2013, 06:13:41 AM

I need to check on those. I know Electricans are available, maybe even electrician pluses.

I think they are all silver though.

I just worked out a deal to get 25% off retail and gave the clerk a long list of rarer alox to check. last time I was able to pick up three 07 soldiers when I checked.

papercut · **Reply #21 on:** December 19, 2013, 07:56:35 AM

I can also confirm that there are no interesting alox models here. Sorry, I was hoping there would be.

Most of the Year of XXXX are available at various price levels thought, plus the Olympic models (but without the crazy packaging).
