To offer a different perspective on SwissTool...

I placed a couple of orders with them and had no issue whatsoever. Then, back in February, I placed an order and them never received anything. They wouldn't respond to emails, they didn't respond to queries via the website contact form and there isn't a phone number anywhere.

I've had to claim my money back through the bank. Maybe there was something genuine about my order which mean it would be delayed - but to go months without responding to queries and have no correspondence whatsoever is ridiculous and I won't be using them again. Which is a shame as I love some of the scale colours they have.

Thanks for the feedback Michael. :tu:

A true mark of a company is what they do when things don’t go to plan.
Not communicating shouldn’t be one of them.
It does sound like a bit of a lottery.

Well, I’m glad you managed to get your money back after all that hassle.

:cheers:

That's interesting to know Michael, will think a little more before using them again. At least it came good for me this time.

Black compacts are great, but I’ve only found the ones with hot stamped shield variations, I think.  :think:

Thanks for that nugget of information kamakiri. :tu:

I didn’t know what “hot stamped shield variations” were, until I just googled it.

As they say, “you learn something new everyday”.

Though, I still think I prefer the metal inlay shields. It just looks so classy.  :hatsoff:

I also have a black Climber, but it's on temp loan to my wife while she's out of town, so unavailable for the group photo.
OK, it's almost two months later, but I finally thought to get all my black SAKs together for a group photo.

Thanks SteveP. :hatsoff:

That’s a wonderful collection of black SAK’s.

It’s almost like a black rainbow, with the Traveler being the pot of gold at the end. :tu:
