this one is very fast.  Florida to Wisconsin, in basically three business days from purchase.  that is very fast.  I will have to leave SUPER Positive review.
If I can help, let me know

thanks to a tip by Roc,  I was able to purchase what might be the best deal of my life.

but we all know that if something is too good to be true,....   well you know the rest.

anyway I bought a "buy-it-now" on ebay for a listing titled  "victorinox swiss army knife"
with a price of $12  with $2.65 shipping

here is the cover photo of the listing



I actually thought it was just for the dual sheath, and I would have paid $12 for that anyway, and I wanted one so I hit "Buy-it-now" to prevent it from getting away.
then, with the urgency gone, I started really looking at the listing and saw it was a brand new seller, with one positive review.   :dwts:

then I noticed the rest of the pictures









so, now to see if there was an error, a bait-n-switch, a cheat, or a great deal! 

as of today, the item has been marked "Shipped", the seller messaged me with "a pleasure doing business with you"

I will update this tread as i know more, but I am REALLY excited about this.  I wanted the dual pouch SOS type kit, but it was out of my price range. (but $12 is very doable)
Hope it turns out great for you detron! That is an amazing find. I keep a Swisschamp SOS kit like that in the console of my car. You will like it. :like: :cheers:

PS  I have Champion from that same knife shop....it has the same engraving on the blade.

Well, that's a good place to keep a SOS kit. I've been eyeballing the SOS kit since I was a kid.
Drooling over the catalogs, trying to find the components myself.
I think now is the time to keep my eye out for a SOS kit.

And, due to delivery monday?! I'm super excited!
