Very nice  :salute: My example is on the way to me in the UK as we speak.  :mail:
Could not miss this as I have every edition since 2010.
I could not pick one up in the UK as the allocation was less than 1,000pcs and sold out in a few hours.

Cool!  Just curious, purchased at Red Hill?  Does your damascus look similar?

Red Hill sells this beautiful knife for US$ 400,95. In Holland, Germany and Austria (very close to Helvetia, compared to the US) the same knife costs € 429. So this knife is about 25 % more expensive in Europe then it is at Red Hill in the US!
How come that I feel ripped off by Victorinox-Europe?

I asked the dealer the question a few years ago, as many Victorinox models , are cheaper in the US. There seems to be some agreement lowering the taxes on these items, I was told.

Within the EU Swiss products are taxed, as they are in the US so we pay mere tax than they do in the US for them.

EMZ, I think the prices you see on American websites are misleading. They add sales tax at the checkout, whereas in Europe sales tax is already included in the sticker price. I think sales tax varies from state to state but it's an extra 10% or so.

Well, not owning a SwissChamp, or a real damast blade (etched CRKT Obake doesn't count), I think I did well to resist ordering one this long.  Until today!  I have solved both problems in one fell swoop. It's now on its way, I'm excited to see this beauty in RL!
Further to the pricing discussion, I'm in Canada where we are taxed usually much higher than the US.  Mine was listed at $480 CAD it came to $542.40 after tax.  The exchange on 429 Euros today is $634 CAD, so a fair bit cheaper here. 

I love seeing all of the photos!

Hi,

Has anybody else seen this, from Victorinox?

https://www.victorinox.com/uk/en/Swiss-Champ-LE-auction/cms/Swiss-Champ-Damast-LE-auction

It seems like these Damast Limited Editions may have thirty even more exclusive siblings.

Hope you have deep pockets…  :ahhh

If only there was an even more limited edition with a laser etched signature on the small blade and a pear wood presentation box :dd:

With fortune-telling skills like that, I think you should buy a lottery ticket this week!  :sa:

^^^ Methinks someone had insider information .......  :pok:

Thanks for the link andywork - That is crazy - It will go for an absolute fortune - knowing these crazy SAK collectors around the globe.

So will all the others when they come up for sale.

Hey Carl Elsener is looking a bit older these days - eh? Must be all the strain of making 30 Damast SwissChamps!!   :D   :o
