Needed: Victorinox Magnifying Glass Component
on: March 02, 2020, 05:08:59 AM
A little back story.  My last name is Yeoman. For a long time I have wanted a Victorinox Yeoman. As most of you know they are hard to find and expensive when you do find one.  I decided to make one, I gathered all the parts, a Explorer, a Waiter, (for the combo tool), and even purchased some very nice titanium scales.  I sat about my work tonight, carefully disassembling the two donor knives and.... broke the magnifying glass... 

SO.. I'm hoping one of you guys can help me out.  please dig around in your spare parts bin/drawer and see if you can scrounge up a replacement magnifying glass component for me.  My project is on indefinite hold until I can source this replacement part.  I would be happy to pay for the part and your shipping costs, so long as the amount is reasonable.  Thank you for your time and help.

Sounds like a good plan - Bummer on the mag glass  :(

Not sure how many spares you will find as it is a more desirable and less common tool - But who knows!

Also I guess this should be conUS only as shipping from elsewhere will be prohibitive!!
Did you take a gander at 2nd hand Explorers on ebay - Can prob be found there from time to time?

Good luck !

Thanks, yeah I checked eBay, but the price for a used explorer is ridiculous, almost 45 dollars!
