Ahoy,
I'm looking for a good deal on a specific model of Swiss army knife, the 'classic', AKA '0.6223'
I'm particularly interested in this transparent red model on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.au/Victorinox-0-6223-TB1-Classic-Tran…
But at $55 plus being below the international free shipping threshold, that's not a particularly good deal. I'd be okay with a plain red model too, but it would have to be quite cheap indeed.
Used would be fine too - but I can't find any!
Appreciate any advice :)
Free delivery? Shows as $5 or $7 delivery depending on the model for me …
Ahh right, I had eBay Plus so it showed free delivery.
Adventure Shop Online eBay linked below is free delivery.
yooooo the transparent persian indigo looks nice!
wish it was closer to the transparent gameboy purple for some EDC co-ordination HAHA
Your gameboy is an EDC?
@pjetson: no , atm its an rg351mp - but looking to get a miyoo mini plus 3.5 in gameboy transparent purple
Amazon JP via AU appears to be cheaper (~$40)
Refer to my previous deal post for links
It's free delivery with Prime too.
If you prefer local stock - $32.95 Delivered @ Adventure Shop Online eBay
Even with prime, isn't there a minimum for international shipping?
Nope, should be free with Prime; no minimum spend.
It's just my luck that the only colour they don't have is the transparent red!
The local eBay ones are pretty cheap, and local isn't bad also.
Cheers!
Not Swiss army knife.
German army uses them…
German is not Swiss
Cool maybe, but not light and convenient for keyring carry.
I don't know what OP means by classic, but that's the small one. That goes for about $8 at the duty free. The "classic" has: big blade, small blade, flat screwdriver bit, bottle opener, small screw driver, can opener and cork bottle opener.
What do the Swiss army actually use?
https://www.mymultitools.com.au/victorinox-soldiers-swiss-ar…
The Victorinox Soldiers 08 Swiss Army Knife is currently the official knife of the Swiss Army. Literally, it's the knife they carry into the field.
I guess the Swiss issue twist cap bottles of wine to soldiers today?
@AustriaBargain: In my ( old times ) there was another model. The main use for the knife is Rifle maintenance, followed by cutting salami and bread and finally opening wine bottle.
The Swiss Army Knife was originally manufactured by a company founded in 1893 which came to be known as Wenger. in 1908 the Swiss Army split their contract with half of the order going to Victorinox and the other half to Wenger. Sales diminished as a consequence of strict security measures imposed after 9/11 which saw Wenger being acquired by its competitor Victorinox in 2005. If you're into collectables, you'll covet the 87-implement 141-function Wenger 16999
That's why I included the model number.
I'm not sure why, but many retail stores list it as 'classic' …
Yeah, the small is what I want.
Should be much much less. ( IMPV )
Pardon?
I alternate betweeen carrying a Rambler and an Explorer, depending on what I’m wearing or might need. The Classic is great but I usually need a Philips so the Rambler is perfect for me.
If you’re going to edc it, I recommend a suspension clip.
This:

becomes NZD 31-22 after changing Cart country from New Zealand to Australia
But then produces an error about delivery price if one goes to Checkout
Thanks! I sent them a message about it.
$33 plus shipping if you're fine with not-red
