How much do SAKs cost in Switzerland?

How much do SAKs cost in Switzerland? I know Leathermans seem to double in price overseas(UK for example) I wonder if Swiss army knives are the same way?

I actually sell quite a few to Switzerland. They tell me it's cheaper and the selection is better. Go figure.

That is true indeed. I recently got a Spirit off from ebay.com for half the best price I'd get on ebay.ch and I know from Swiss friends that ebay.ch has better prices on Vics than Swiss retailers...

Not sure why SAKs would be cheaper after two trips across the Atlantic,  but Tim's prices are hard to beat.
Sadly, there are SAKs that Tim can't get, because they are not sold to US dealers.

I try Tim first,  then ebay,  then http://www.swiss-knife.com (which is in Lausanne, Switzerland).

Probably because they can get away with it due to lack of competition.

According to Wikipedia, Syd is only 15.

I was interested to compare the Cost of Living list with this Quality of Living list:
