WTB: various Vic & Wenger
on: March 04, 2023, 11:33:57 PM
I leave for a couple years and the sky is falling down??? :rant:
Always thought that "I'll get an Executive next year" and then they bleedin' discontinued it :twak: and they're doing the same to the tinker small :twak: bad Vic!

Anyway, so I'm in Ireland. Happy to buy from UK and EU. Paypal preferred, may consider others.
Would prefer examples from the 80s, because that's MacGyver-time, my motivation for getting these.
They'll be users, so scratches preferred. >:D

Kind mod, please change title to "WTB: various Vic & Wenger" :cheers:

What I'm looking for EDC:
  • Victorinox Executive
  • Tinker Small

What I'm looking for mod fodder:
  • Any wenger 85mm with inline Phillips
  • Any Victorinox 84mm with wood and/or metal saw

EDC SAK is fine with being "lovingly used".  :salute:
Mod fodder is more ideally "everything is broken except that one part I need"  :D But so long as it wouldn't feel like a crime to take apart I'd consider it.  :D

Most of the usual suspects in the UK still have both models for sale. Amazon, Heinnie Haynes, et al. Discontinued doesn't mean immediately out of stock everywhere...

You could always put your own scratches on a brand new one during the course of your adventures - That is what MacGyver would do (and actually did), after all!!

Interesting, when I checked there were none on Amazon, knives&tools, heinnie. Perhaps it's due to being in Ireland???? Or I was just a few weeks late :ahhh

:think:
That's really strange, not there for me.
Maybe it's not sold by Amazon, but by a third party seller, in which case I'd rather buy it from some lovely person here. :cheers:

Sold by a third party, but stocked and dispatched by Amazon. I've used this seller for years, as they usually have the best prices.
I'll PM you...

Amazon being a weirdo to us leprechauns. :D
Updated list, still looking for executive and added on some recruits for mod fodder.

Quote from: Don Pablo on March 07, 2023, 01:50:23 PM
What I'm looking for EDC:
  • Victorinox Executive
  • Tinker Small

What I'm looking for mod fodder:
  • Any wenger 85mm with inline Phillips
  • Any Victorinox 84mm with wood and/or metal saw
  • Victorinox 84mm Recruit or similar, for opener layer spring with no backtools

EDC SAK is fine with being "lovingly used".  :salute:
Mod fodder is more ideally "everything is broken except that one part I need"  :D But so long as it wouldn't feel like a crime to take apart I'd consider it.  :D
