I really can't justify buying a second SAW, can I?

The brown is just soooo nice looking


Resist! You had your own custom wallet made! Just get another made in brown!

Received my new Mayfair wallet today. Lovely bit of kit. Nice leather. One question, the top slit where the peeked card goes into isn't level. Not that it's a major issue. Anyone else have the same?

Hi,

Can you please send me a picture of the wallet showing the issue to sales@alakazam.co.uk. If you are unhappy with it we will be happy to replace it for you.

I hope this helps

Thanks Peter. It's really not a problem as I said, just something I noticed. It actually makes putting the card/billet in easier because of the subtle slope. Maybe something to build into future designs. Smile

I am loving it. The leather is just beautiful. It feels great in the hand and just looks classy. It was also unbelievably kind of you to offer the masterclass for free, so much time and effort went into the production of the evening. Peter, you are a star. Smile

Only issue for Me is one of the sides is too tight for My Business Cards...... will order different sized cards next time.

The index? I have the same problem! Mine are standard size too. The wallet is fantastic otherwise, I really like it, just wish the index was even 1mm wider as most of my handlings involve going there to get a card.

I expect there will be a Mayfair V1.1, similar to the SAW V1.1 where design changes were made to address some of the issues with the original SAW. Out of intetest, did Tony Curtis make these wallets?

Thinking back I had the same isssue with my black V1.1 that I purchased a few years ago. Not an issue for me, I also “expanded” the index myself.
Because i’m very pleased with my V1.1 as an everyday wallet, I ordered the Mayfair this morning!

Mayfair is the 1.1. It's literally the exact same wallet as the black SAW 1.1 but in a different color. It's not meant to be packed too full in the index section due to the size of the thing. This is why they produce other wallets for heavier index needs and as you can see by those wallets, you're increasing the size of the wallets considerably. You can't fight the laws of physics here. Wallets of a certain size can only physically hold X amount in a secret section whilst staying hidden.

Correction: I modified my F1 Nitro (replaced that with the SAW). However as kissdadookie mentioned in the above post, the Mayfair has the same design as the V1.1.
Every leather wallet I ever owned gimmicked, magic or normal we’re pretty “tight”. It’s leather and will naturally “wear” and function better. When the space is too big you’re cc’s, bc’s would fall out very easily. If you still would like to have that 1mm, take a fresh sharp x-acto knife and carefully add it yourself.

The original SAW had slits 2mm wider than a standard business card (in the hidden section). The bottom of that section wasn't glued, meaning business cards could be pushed down far enough that they didn't peek over the top of the wallet. I'd like to see those features brought back when the next iteration of the Mayfair is produced.

Im not talking about packing it full as in stuffing 10 cards into it, Im talking about the width which is a struggle as its little too narrow even when putting one standard sized business card in!

I was not actually responding to your post. LoL. I was responding to the post that implied that the Mayfair is a different design to the SAW v1.1 black.

Ah right, yeah it is definitely the same. I have both. Everything else is spot on but I don't use use the index for an index so the ability to keep a few business cards there would make it perfect for me. Might look at taking a knife to it.

I am in the UK and have our standard size business cards, and they fit in the index section of my Mayfair Wallet with no problem at all.

For anyone who is interested in the Assassin V1.1 or Mayfair Edition my friend Marc Spelmann and I filmed a Master Class and Q and A which lasted almost hours explaining the wallet functions and some great little routines.

You can watch it for free here https://www.alakazam.co.uk/product-Steal......d-A.html

I hope this helps

Peter


loved this, well worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it. I have the espionage so the ideas and thinking shown transfer quite nicely
