London, UK, has a Victronix Flagship store on Bond Street. I found out they have a knife assembly option in-store. I enquired and found out that:the only knife you can build is a Spartan red with classic plastic scale a speSmurfpillst will guide you through the processtakes around 30 minutes, and costs £35I think that includes some sort of engraving, but not sureshould call ahead to book a slot, and mornings are less busyyou cannot add or swap with extras like the Phillips driver or scissors --- they don't have the spare parts to use, nor can they provide spare partsthey can repair SAKs, but this is limited to replacing: scales on SAK classic, toothpick, or tweezersother deeper repairs or maintenance require shipping to Switzerland, and can take 3 monthsFor £35 I'm tempted to try, just to say I made a SAK.... but I really wanted to build an Alox Pioneer....
I make mine at home.

Man, thats a lot of money to diy a tool that costs around the same retail, I fail to understand this concept If they gave you option to mix and match tools and scales I would love to make my own custom sak, but the way they have it set up is very odd.
By restricting the operation to one option/choice (is it really a choice if you have only one option ? ) they keep things simpler for themselves,...
I did a Spartan build her in the states at the Mall of America. If you build it yourself you'll get a etched blade and you can also purchase other colored scales to use instead of the standard red scales. I recommend it to any collector or anyone who wants to see how they are made in person.
