Major Surplus ( MajorSurplusNSurvival.com) latest catalog has 10 assorted SAKs for $45.00 or 30 for $119.00. The photo in the catalog shows what looks like Pocket Pal lists at $12.00, Classic lists at $15.00 and Sportsman lists at $21.00.
Add states " An assortment of 10 geniune Swiss made knives(our choice) assorted colors, all in Used/Excellent condition.
Victorinox and Wegner brands, some personalized. If new , value of 10 pack is over $250.00". Photo shows red, blue, yellow and green handles, some with promotional markings.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so in the interest of posting the findings I ordered 10 SAKs for $45.00. They should arrive next week and I'll post what exactly I received. With tax and shipping it came to $58 and change. I guess I can justify some stocking stuffers at that price or worst case return them.

X-ray Dave: I'd think twice about buying these -- or at least make a gentle inquiry of the vendor. They sound to me like knives that were confiscated at airports. I don't think I'd want to support that.

Sounds fishy. Kind of like they would fillet the cash right out of my wallet and I would end up empty hamded.

Yes, yes!, we do want them to be knives that were confiscated at airports. If we can tie them in as illegal profits by the TSA which I believe is supposed to destroy them, we could hang a few goose steppers out to dry in the courts.

Want your SAK or Leatherman back from the TSA? Go here. <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

If they're gonna confiscate it, why not destroy it? Or better yet, have a stack of postage COD envelopes at the security checkpoints and allow people to mail stuff home to themselves. Wait, that's too logical...

It could very well be that these are seconds from imprinters - specialty advertising - and that is what the "personalized" indication is.

I will be very interested in your findings, though.

Correct, cedfire. Logic and the screenerNazis are mutually exclusive terms.

Wow !!, thanks for all the replies and input. I'm also wondering what exactly I'll wind up with. They should arrive this week, and I'll post a full breakdown.
