Special Swiss Champ
on: September 21, 2018, 01:59:31 AM
Zurich's Blick recently announced that Vic had produced a total of 500 million SAKs by July 2017. To commemorate this event, Mr. Elsener himself worked in the shop after hours to produce 3400 special Swiss Champs, each numbered and dated on the liner behind the corkscrew. The knives were presented to the company's employees.

Does anyone know more about these knives?

I heard they were only for the employees. Which I think is pretty cool. I have read where right after 9/11 their income dropped 40% and he would not let any employees go. He kept working them.

Another company I know of that did that was Keuffel and Esser, who made slide rules and provided draftsmen with supplies. It would take the electronic calculators to being made to kill the company. K&E lasted well over a 100 years before the company became history.

I’m still looking for a slide rule to use for personal calculations. A pity that there don’t seem to be many (second hand or otherwise) in Ireland. ::)

I just checked the Bay again, some K&E there!  :ahhh
What would you consider a good price? Should we talk in another thread to stop derailing this one?
Shipping seems to cost more than the actual slide rule in most cases.  ::)

One of them is selling on a Swiss second hand shop for 12900 chf. More or less the same amount of dollars. But the guy selling it said they are only 300.

Ask the seller to look at the liner stamp underneath the corkscrew.

On top of that, it's a "minimum offer" price...
Look at the "buy it now"...

Someone who wants to make money like that on the back of a gesture by his/her employer shouldn't work anywhere.

An act of kindness and appreciation gets abused to try and make fast cash.
Bweik!

I agree 100%.
The same applies for the ones that are buying limited editions and are selling them to other collectors charging 30-40-50% more.  It’s not nice.

I sold a Swisstool Spirit S in BO to a coworker yesterday.
He was looking for his first multi and fell in love with the BO S.
I sold it at a €5 profit. He payed little over half the current value.

I've had some luck in collecting so far, so I'm trying to pay it forward.
Therefore, this kind of dealing makes me sick.

Anyway, more on topic, does anyone know what the ACTUAL value of one of these 500MIO knives would be?

Someone who wants to make money like that on the back of a gesture by his/her employer shouldn't work anywhere.

An act of kindness and appreciation gets abused to try and make fast cash.
Bweik!
I agree 100%.
The same applies for the ones that are buying limited editions and are selling them to other collectors charging 30-40-50% more.  It’s not nice.

This is a little different. The LEs are presented to the general public for acquisition. If, later on, you want to sell them with some profit, I see nothing wrong in that. These, however, were presented to the employees personally. It's like selling a wedding gift you received...

 :-\

IMHO, of course.

If no one has ever bought one, it’s impossible to tell.
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!
