Where can I buy a Swiss army knife in Karachi?

[Ali250]

As stated in the thread title, I'm looking for a Swiss army knife. Not an original one (those things are expensive as hell), I'm looking for a cheap Chinese duplicate or something like that. Any idea where I can buy it?

Duplicates you can pick up from any big stationary store.

The Forum, Aghas, those big shops at stadium, they all have them.

You should check out Denso Hall or Saddar for variety.

and
METRO/MAKRO for the Victorinox shelves. They have a variety of swiss army knives.

and they have different price ranges.

dude dont go for any immitation chinese sh*t it'll give out on you when you need it! I had a three tool immitation kit with phillips screw driver in m car for emergencies and it crapped out on me

if you just wanna have it for 'showoff' thn its fine.

btw see if anyones comin back from ramazan Umrah... theres a great collection of locally made small-large hunting knives at Bin Dawood stores in Makkah!

The Chinese imitations are crap. The spring of the blades loosens after a few weeks. The only pros are that they are cheap.
I've been using a Victorinox for the past four years. The swish and click of the blade is such a satisfying sound (sm2)

I saw a few Victorinox originals at a gift shop adjacent Time Medicos.

I really don't need it to function flawlessly day in and day out, I basically just need to take it with me to uni. I'm not too inclined on taking along a bunch of knives and tool sets separately so I was looking for a compact Swiss knife that'll do the job should a need ever arise. That's why I was looking for a half-decent imitation and to deal with this need cheaply.

6k what special about that is it made up of elephant teeth ??
here in saddar its barley about 300-500 rs with 10-15 different chako

 

[Ali250]

^ Original branded things are expensive you know.

 

[Druid]

Well its not made of elephant teeth but something more reliable
I got mine in year 2000 and I can tell you that still in a city like KHI there's not a single rust spot, its shinny like brand new.
You can see some of the collection in Forum (the big supermarket has it)

Hyperstar .....

 

[Shyber]

It's expensive for a reason. It'l cut your finger in two.
Hasn't anyone seen 127 hours here? The dude regretted taking the China made imitation instead of his Swiss knife.

You should get Bear Grylls knife set

You can get original american knifes from peshawar. They are slightly used by american soldiers in afghanistan war. Talibans use to collect from dead us soldiers and sell it here.

I personally checked it. It was heavy It had many function but i failed to test those. even the shopkeeper doesn't knew how to use that.

@Ali250 A Victorinox is something you'll never regret buying. You can get a basic version for 1-2k Rs.
But things get misplaced a LOT in hostels so I won't recommend you taking an original with you. A replica would serve your purpose pretty much if used occasionally.

I'm leaving my own Victorinox at home as well.

 

[Ali250]

^ Yeah that's another reason. I don't want to take too many valuables along with me to uni, especially seeing as it'll be a shared room and I have no clue who my roomy will be -,-

The stuff is actually pretty good. If it wasn't for the price tag, I would have ordered all of it

Yahan bhi ye sub mil jata hay easily.


You should make a trip to Denso hall for this stuff. The tools shops there will get you a lot of cheap stuff for good.
