Help a Swede find two Alox Bantam knives!

Hey folks!

I've been trying to find the Alox Bantam somewhere for cheap, to satiate my need for the most compact and usable hiking knife out there. I want one for myself and one to give away to a friend who turns 34 in about a month or so. I can only find it on eBay and those ship from Switzerland, since they're not a member of the EU, that adds 25% tax + 7.5 EUR import fee on top of the current price once they reach Sweden. Is that really the best I can find? I live in Sweden, if the title wasn't clear enough.

Formally out, but in transition phase so still have a toehold until end of the year. No extra VAT or duty on import to Sweden from the U.K.

Be difficult to beat that for a new one - bargain!

Indeed, that is actually a pretty great price. Thank you!
It's likely I'll get myself two from there. And yes, there is no import fee or added tax when buying from the UK.
After December, however, it just won't be worth buying from them anymore, which is a shame. I've got a big order I want to place on
another website before December comes along, after that it's bye bye.

Us Brits had better get our orders in for Daim, Kalles and Gransfors!
