I just can't see a $500.00 value with that package.Priced individually they don't come close to the $500.00 asking price.

Having stated this,each individual has to ask if this set is worth the selling price.Eleven buyers so far have answered in the affirmative.

I suppose they are a especial set, not equal to the tools individually sold

Not the point.

This is a limited edition - collectors item - And pretty much the last thing Wenger ever made as Wenger.
That has gotta be worth something.

Whether you are a fan of limited editions is another matter - I know many of us here are not!!
But many in the market are - and folk like to buy them - and will pay the top dollar.

Having handled one, I will say, they are awesome.....

And yes they are!!

The individual woods, model selection, box, packaging, booklet and craftmanship is outstanding !!!
Even the concept of "Farewell World"  :( with woods from around the world is great  :) if not somewhat sad  :(  even tragic!

Too rich for my blood, but a beautiful set of knives.

Why did you feel the need to use only part of my post?

You so conveniently left out this part in red.

Money is always an issue unless you're independently wealthy.

It's a limited edition.Did the name United Woods Limited Edition Set give you the clue you needed to reach your conclusion?

So the toe nail clippers fits your idea of great model selection.
How does the plastic scaled model 557 fit into the United Woods Limited Edition Set? LOL

Where did you find "Farewell World" in the description of this set?

If you bought the set just admit it.You don't need to defend your decision to anyone here,it's your money.You also don't need to misquote me in an attempt to defend that decision.

I wish I'd got mine for a mere $500!!
That's about £320 here in the UK.

Let me think...
That's roughly £50 per knife + £20 for the presentation box. Each knife is unique in that they are only available in this set.
I don't think that's overly expensive, the box itself is stunning  :drool:
I had to pay far more for mine...€575.00!!! :ahhh

Considering the outrageous prices that Victorinox charges for its coloured alox range, I think the united woods set was fairly priced.

But, each to their own I suppose.
I don't claim to know it all, but what I do know is right.
