There is a thread about SAKs on DX here: http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,26891.0.html
The opera Classic looks genuine :tu:

The Classic is apparently legit, but a China-only model.  Looks like DX (or a supplier) bought up a bunch and are now trying to turn a profit selling them to collectors.  I don't think that should surprise anyone, I'd do it if I had the chance.

Sorry I haven't replied to you PM yet ;)

I was told DX has a warehouse in the UK as well so sometimes shipping is pretty fast. I doubt they have those opera Classics there though.

Now it's the absolute worst time to order anything from China. They had their New year celebration last week and are now backlogged with over a weeks worth of orders that weren't processed. Expect an 5-6 weeks waiting time.

There is a US and UK dealextreme warehouse but the offer is limited and no SAKs.

We may want to tread lightly.  ???  We had a debacle not too long ago regarding these:

http://www.priceangels.com/VICTORINOX-8-in-1-Multi-Functional-Tool-Card-Peking-Opera-Pattern-Color-Assorted--s90297.html

They turned out to be utter crap.  >:(

Although this particular product does seem to look the part, call me a sceptic.
