Victorinox Spirit XBS without CC
on: December 13, 2017, 01:16:22 PM
So, I saw in the DECEMBER DONATION DRAW that the XBS came without CC in contrast to the images from the Official site. Anyone got insight into that?

Grants XBS:

This is great news, I have only seen the BO Spirit without scissors like the DA model, and I have only seen the XBS with the goofy cap crimper.

Looks like you need one for your collection too E Man!  :D

:rofl:

Its sold out... also, for "environmental"* reasons, I mostly purchase Victorinox products locally, no need to have them shipped around the world.

* including the environment within my wallet (shipping costs  + tax are killers).

I would too, but for environmental and economic reasons, I am unable to immigrate to CH, they don't make it easy!  :-\

It was much easier for some of my ancestors to immigrate from there to here, going back, not so much.  :facepalm:

Not at all... I just feel duped, thought I cannot buy one new at the store without CC :P
No, honestly, I'm surprised. I really thought the XBS only comes with CC.

No! :dwts:

The S was my top piece untill I received the RT. I'm now slinging back and forth between the 2.

The regular Spirit get's used under normal conditions. When I need to wreck havok, I'll grab my Swisstool X, which was bought dirt cheap in a very used, but still decent, condition.

They all (not the Swisstool X) share the same shelf in the Vic Cabinet.
