i am trying to locate a swissflame but cant seem to find one. has their production been discontinued?

thanks!
 
Evidently the single stage type lighter used in them precluded them from being imported into the US by a distributer. Currently they are now out of production I believe.
 
thanks for the info!

i thought it would have been 'cool' to carry a swiss army knife with a lighter...but alas, even victorinox has stopped production of them.
 
I got one about two years ago from a friend in Germany. It's purely a collectible. I'll take some photos of it when I get time. When I say it's purely a collectible, I mean just that: it has very little practical use. The lighter just won't work. It's got that cool factor, but no practicality.

If you really want one, I can see if my German buddy will sell me another one.

if you could post a pic of it, that would be great. it just sucks that they never got distributed in the united states.

it would be great if you could ask your friend in germany if they are still available there.

thanks! :)
 
I'm in Austria currently and there's one on display in a store near where I am staying.
 
Is the swissflame still in that shop? If it is or if anyone can find me one in new scratchless condition I will pay well for one if you or anyone can purchase and mail one to me. Please help!!!
 
I tried for a while to get one of these when they were being produced - even had friends that traveled overseas try to get one for me and ship it back to the States - had no luck at all.

Then I heard about the lighter problems and lost interest.

I guess if you are a collector it would be a nice piece to have.
 
Yeah. Maybe I will be sorely dissappointed. They just look super slick but looks can be deceiving. I wish they'd make one that's as trusty as most of their stuff.
 
I have a SwissFlame for sale, complete with box. Are you still looking to buy one?

Preston,
Yes I would be interested in buying a swiss flame or camp flame if it is still available.
Thank you.
