SmartCard - Did we miss this? .... I know I did
on: August 07, 2025, 10:52:03 AM
Hi Team,

Did you guys know about the Victorinox SmartCard?   ???
https://victorinox.com.au/products/smart-card-wallet?_pos=8&_sid=2e935a79b&_ss=r

I see someone mentioned it in the wiki thread and someone else in the Latest SAK thread - But nowhere else

It really deserves it's own thread and discussion

It's a Classic SwissCard tied to a credit card wallet with a money holding band
Seems like a nice idea to me and a hark back to the original SwissCard Money Clip model

This was in my eMAIL last week from Swiss Knife Shop

Big price difference!!!


I believe this may have been listed in the Victorinox luggage and accessories web site as a search revealed many versions.  Many tied to a 3rd party maker.  SECRID


If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

I like it, but will admit I've found hard wallets uncomfortable.  Also I've donated enough tools to TSA because I forgot to remove them. I can see myself doing the same for this wallet.
Nowadays I keep the wallet and keychain TSA safe and everything else separate so I won't forget.

Speaking of TSA, the Nailcare version of the Swisscard  travels with me on flights.

I think the wallet is a separate build with trigger access to contents in card storage.   The SWISSCARD is included for storage with cards.

I look on AMAZON, and there are couple different SAK labeled wallets of same style minus the card kit for about $50.    Red, SS and Gold were color options.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Thanks IMR - That's hilarious ..... and unbelievable    :o

I did not even notice the first time I clicked on the link - And paged down to find the words - then came back and saw the title.

How on earth could that happen ?     :think:

    At least there are free returns if it doesn't cover your piano very well.  Best wishes.  G

I own one and its quite clever. Wallet alone is just normal Secrid and tool card is shaped to the wallet and there is route for the band

I dont like Swiss card as concept though because I prefer my tools seperate in actual SAK but my opinion doesnt make this product worse

$45 the SAK
$45 the Secrid credit card case
$10 for the piano cover 😜

$100 total  basic math

If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

and a Swisscard with a rubber band will do the same thing and for half the price.

Listen, I'm a Vic fan because of their products, how they  look out for their employees,  and their prices are extremely reasonable. But this product is  just... no.. just no.

No it will not!

The secret of a small wallet is how it stores credit cards and easily present them to you for selection.
Also RFID protection.

SECRID wallet made in Netherlands does that. The SWISS card just so happens to fit inside that case, but reduces card count substantially.

Marketing and selling of the package is genius!

But, it will sell out!  And somebody is getting a few back slaps.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!
