Not really pit-able, just sad. It was an official Victorinox outlet at the Mall of America here in the Twin Cities Minnesota. Now if I want to buy accessories for my pocket knives I’ll have to order off the web site and pay big shipping fees.
Tragic. No touchy, feely before buying.
I likes Victorinox.
Yet another victim of the disappearing American middle class. Will the Scotch™ Tape Store be next?
This was the beginning of the end of retail and malls as we’ve known them. . .

It was prescient. I think Jeff Bezos read it and knew he was on to a good thing.
Can’t you buy them at general-purpose stores like K-mart? That’s where I got mine lo, these many years ago.
They folded.
goddammit!!!
REI sells spare parts for Swiss army knives. I’ve replaced lost tweezers more than once.
You can buy the knives, but all the little doodads are hard to get anywhere else
Thank you!! I’ll check them out.
Spare parts I can understand; I’ve had a Swiss Army knife with both tweezers and a plastic toothpick (full disclosure: both of which I lost, before losing the knife).
But wtf are SWK accessories?
Just like the origami business.
Was that the one next to the dive shop that went under?
When all the food at the food court was freeze dried that was a sign that mall traffic was down.
Then Santa started to only appear on leap years. The parking lot became a used car lot.
Sad!
It was near the elevator, which had its ups and downs.
Moved to MPSIMS.
Niche retailers are always balancing on a razor edge.
They also sell cheapo watches with their brand on it for a high markup.
Luggage, shirts, and fragrances too. Your lady will just love getting a small bottle of Victorinox Swiss Army For Her Eau Florale.
So yes, for people with a loyalty to a damn *brand *of all things, this is indeed a tragedy.
An eyeglass-screw sized screwdriver that fits into the corkscrew!
I buy replacement packs of differently sized Victorinox toothpicks from Amazon on a regular basis. If you’re a Prime member, shipping is fast and free.
Yeah, and across the way from that clinic that specialized in treating rectal prolapse.
They closed when the bottom fell out.
