[magentus]

Just saw this whilst idling on Amazon UK - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Victorinox-Deluxe-Tinker-Swiss-Knife/dp/B000MLU8SQ/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1433413420&sr=8-9&keywords=victorinox

No connection etc........

[hiraethus]

I'm trying hard not to get one (really I want one in yellow) but at that price I'm not sure I can resist.

[jerseydevil]

  Just get one and swap the scales, like I did with the sapphire one that's in my pocket today.

[magentus]

Go on H - Treat yo'self - you deserve one.

[hiraethus]

Nope, not going for it.  Got a bunch of SAKs in ye shedde that need modding first, including enough bits to build a DT or Troubleshooter.

A self built DT is much more satisfying.  Those babboons won't have been clamped for nothing then.

Mine is so old it doesn't have the hook,but it does have the screw in the scissors.

31.30 for a Vic Champ! what's that about £18? 

[toolguy]

Yes,but that was 32 years ago.

I paid $29.95 for a deluxe Tinker six years later in 1989.

You caved? What about all those babboons in your shed? Were they clamped for naught?

[hiraethus]

Don't worry, they were put to good use last night disassembling a Hiker, Explorer, SwissChamp and Climber for parts.

Ooooo, whatcha makin'?

[hiraethus]

Troubleshooter, Explorer + pliers (Deluxe Explorer) and Explorer + pliers + file (Deluxe Modeler).  I have a Mechanic and another Swiss Champ that will be sacrificed to the god of mod tonight.

And how many babboons will be sacrificed to assuage your addiction?

Also, you could call the explorer with pliers an 'Explier'. That's yours for free with my blessings mate.

I don't want to talk about my sausage addiction.

And what an interesting thing to read when I checked in on this thread.

I already saw that and its on its way but I've already changed my mind  and the new Amazon return pricing is £6.  Ouch.  Somehow I don't think "its faulty" would wear.  So I've ordered a Hiker at £14 because what I really want is a 91mm with a saw.  Plus, as well as being a corkscrew refusenik, I'm not that keen on hooks.   Sorry all you hook badge holders    Lightening my carry a little is my current mantra, for me the Tinker DL is a layer too far.
