Hmmm... it could be a knock off, but more likely a Chinese Factory that makes the original let some out slipout the backdoor for private sales.

I was reasonably certain that wasn't one of Wenger's key rings. Never occurred to me it might be part of another piece of equipment. I'm still not planning to buy one.

Info from Wikipedia:
In North America, licensed products using the Wenger and SwissGear trademarks are owned independently from Victorinox SA, and are used to market camping equipment (particularly tents, backpacks and sleeping bags), luggage, backpacks and office/business needs.
