Fake Victorinox on eBay
on: August 11, 2011, 07:44:22 PM
This is fake, right?  :P
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190554637381

The box looks original. I reported this item a week ago but it is still there. What happens when you report an item? Do they actually look into it?

Seems like the Vic people would be really ticked off about those cheap copies making their good name look bad >:(
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

Holy Moly!  Easy to tell for those that know these knives but that's crazy.  I've got stuff removed from ebay before, but this time I sent a message to Victorinox because I did think they would want to see this.  Hope it gets directed to the right person.

I think most SAK buyers are knowledgeable about the products, but as the holidays approach there will be more gift buying and it would be terrible for somone to get that piece of junk and think they got the real thing.

Thanks for the heads up.  I'm going to try to send them a message through another route as well.
