Should I go for it?
on: March 06, 2011, 08:45:00 PM
So here is the deal...

Vic SwissTool standard in leather pouch worn but excellent condition (like new) with pricetag 50eur (70USD, or 43GBP)...

New one at dealer (only one) is 96eur (134USD, or 82GBP)

Should I go for it?? Or to wait for better offer?!?

What a torture....  :-[

Personally I'd grab it. I wish a deal like that was on the cards when I got my Swisstool

I would say the 99 style head is very tough to find

I want a swisstool again.  I didn't give my first one a good enough chance before I sold it.

Yeah, i reckon, but IMHO it's redundant to have 2 blades one each...  :tu:
