I bought mine at the local sewing shop, they call them "modeling pins" there.

They cost as good as nothing (I think I paid like 1 Euro's for 20 of them) but they are a bit thicker than the ones from Victorinox, so I always have to use a bit of force the first time I insert them, but after that they fit great.

If I were you I would go to a sewing shop with your SAK and show them the pin and see what they have, and try to fit them in your SAK.  That's how I found mine.

P.S. The look on the face of the woman behind the counter when I took my SAK out of my pocket was priceless  :D.
