Chinese Opera Card like thing.

[Chako]

I couldn't resist buying this cheap item off of eBay, seeing that I already have the Opera Climber and Classic. I also knew it was as fake as can be. No surprise when I got it in the door, and it is obvious that this is no Victorinox product. The Quality is not up to Victorinox standards. On the other hand, I have no issues buying fakes along with the real items. I take a guilty pleasure in comparing them to the real deal and finding faults with them.



Plenty of things that are wrong with this card. Primarily that they faked the beloved Vic symbol. The knife is all wrong. The scissors are oddly enough of good quality. The tweezers are junk, and that file. Well, that is trash city and is the best clue that this is not a Victorinox product. The card itself is strangely well constructed...but everything else adds to a junky product that besmirches Victorinox's good name.

What a piece of sh*t.

Yes. Looks like there are plenty of rip offs with Victorinox's name and symbol on them out there these days.

Luckily, I was aware it was a fake  but plenty of people would buy this and think that Victorinox is junk.

For example, in my copy, the plastic piece at the end of the tweezers tend to pop out of their two small retaining holes when you put them back into the card. This means the plastic end angles up to such a degree that you can't push the tweezers home with any regularity. Most of the times, you have to pull them back out, apply pressure so that the two plastic nubs are seated properly into their two associated holes in the metal  tweezers part, and try again.
