OK, while buying for my collection I have come across several of these Victorinox key chain fobs with the Victorinox shield stamped into it. Usually I find them attached to a classic in some of my purchases. They always have 3 links of chain attached to the large piece with the shield. I can not find them any where on the Victorinox website. Does anyone know where or how they are sold or packaged?

Perhaps the Victorinox store.

The PX at Yongsan Garrison, ROK in Seoul has a Victorinox booth inside it. They sell all kinds of chains and fobs. I bought a leather one, one that clips to a belt, and a pouch one that holds a Classic for my wife.

I have 2 or 3 but would like to get some more for gifts to give with some nice classics. I have seen one boxed classic with this piece in it so I know its available but I can't find it anywhere in the Vic website. I need to check the Vic store website though. Anybody find it listed at the Vic website let me know please.

I have seen a boxed classic with one of these for sale on an auction site but have not seen any manufacturers listing for them. I would think they are Vic made.
