Indians For Guns

Hi, I would like to get a victorinox kirpan, does anyone know of anyone who could get one shipped to the UK ?

i think they just made kirpan (victorinox) for 400 jubilee of Sikhism and was put up to sale on the victorinox website (indian)at that time i think i has been discontinued u would be lucky if some one is willing to sell u one,
by the way i was manufactured by muela and the victorinox guys sold it as their there are two models a small and a large one.

Knifejunkie is right , the kirpans are no longer in production and have become some what of a collectors item demanding high prices.

Not sure if both the Victorinox kirpans are out of production. At least the smaller one was available till a year ago with dealers in Delhi. The larger one, with some lines from Guru Granthsahib etched on the blade had run into controversy when they first appeared about a decade ago with several Sikh religious leaders raising objection to a foreign knife maker quoting from a religious scripture without consent of the community. The matter was apparently sorted out and the knife was available across India for years though in small numbers probably because Sikhs who carry kirpans prefer the traditional ones.

while surfing net i came across a website fashionandyou.com I noticed victorinox kirpan (small) one for sale.

I placed an order immidiately. Got it after a week. That was the 3rd knife in my collection. I still hv it. ITs beautiful and sharp.

How long ago was that ? I had a look and couldnt find it in the website

ooohh lucky me i know a shop that still has one for sale. guess i should pick it up now.
/S/

Sniper any pointers to where the shop is located

Available in Indore.

Victorinox Kirpan looks great but let me tell you the steel used in not so. The knife wears very fast.

These are still available with Victorinox stores across India. Otherwise one can always Muela, these are the same knives, just don't have Kirpan inscribed on them & a different or rather better sheath.
