| Swiss Army Knives have a relatively small, but very loyal following in cyberspace. Whether you are a collector looking for information on obscure models or variations, or you are a user looking for the best model to meet your needs and the best place to buy, there is a wealth of knowledge on the Internet for you. This page lists several (of course, not all) sites that are useful and poular with Swiss Army Knife users and collectors. Please note that this page is not a recommendation or an endorsement of any of these sites. However, many SAK enthusiasts have found them to be valuable. |

Sales Related Sites
Of course there are many, many sites to buy new Swiss Army Knives, these can be found using regular search engines for your location.
eBay has become a very popular place to buy second hand Swiss Army Knives and is a great place to buy regular recent models (eg recycled after airport seizures!). However has become very expensive for the older vintage models, as collectors seem to be willing to pay extremely high prices in the auctions.
Different sites may have access to different products and prices. Do your research before you buy!
The sites below provide a place to buy some custom Swiss Army Knives. Once again, there are many sites offering custom SAKs.
- Robert Lessard's Instagram site - Highly regarded and popular modified SAKs with custom scales (and tools), Canada - Also via www.sakmodder.com

- Felinevet Shop - This is the unofficial SAK store for the SAK enthusiasts community. Felinevet stocks a number of new and used SAKs from both Wenger and Victorinox. If he doesn't stock the item you're looking for, he can often get it quickly. Proceeds from sales go to help the Feline Veterinary Emergency Assistance Program
This page appears to be just routing the user to sales sites, and probably taking a commission in the process - Treat with caution!
