A friend just bought this knife and asked for my help in identifying this... It looks like a Wenger Traveler but couldn't match the tang stamp and scale cross with Ullie's Wenger sheet..Can anyone tell if this is legit or not?

Ah this 'Huntschamp' really is one of my favourite listings ever. Had me laughing out loud

The tools other folks have pointed out are hilarious....

- I also liked these quotes
"Can also be used for cross screw"
If I was a screw and someone used that thing on me ...... I would be pretty cross :rofl:

"Please allow 0.5-3cm errors due to manual measurement."
Wow a 0.5 to 3.0 cm tolerance on the measurements - So the actual knife may only be 2/3 the length quoted, and you expected
Note: I assume that 3cm tolerance was on the length and not the width - otherwise the knife might actually be non existant   :o

"Due to the difference between different monitors, the pictures may not reflect the actual color of the item"
To which, of course, you have to add ............    "...... or even be the item you receive"  
............. As some of those piccies are definitely of a genuince Vic !!

Just visited our local mall and saw these selling for $3-4, store branded.

Why does my stomach hurt after looking at these?  :think:




I couldn't bring myself to buy one  :drink:
But OTOH they are at least not advertised as the real thing, nor are they faithful lookalikes...

Lotta dumb kids on the /r/EDC reddit carry those fake ones just like the top picture with the overly rounded off metal scales. Just buy a Classic or used SAK. I messed with a couple of these fakes a long time ago and the metal is soft all of the tools will break fast so might as well not bother. No hate but idk what is wrong with some people.  :twak: :twak: :twak:

This one is also cute
Zelf-opgeknapte Victorinox Swisschamp met 3D-geprint handle (DIY Restored Victorinox Swisschamp with 3d printed handle)

Pretty deceiving with the copied SAK scales in the same picture...
In the add, the seller writed he´s not sure if it's a real SAK.  :P

But then, another gem from the same seller:
Oud houten zwitsers zakmes multitool knife met veel functies (Old wooden swiss pocketknife with many functions)

I'm not sure what happened with the vic logo on the scale...

Well...

Judging by the pics on the second ad I think I recognise a particular class of (Chinese?) knockoffs prevalent in tourist traps all along the North American West coast (I saw then in Vancouver (BC), at least, maybe also in San Francisco, can't remember as I tend to leave this kind of stores in a hurry). These already come with (poorly fitted and finished) wooden handles with your favourite first name or attraction burned into them, then lacquered. Someone must have taken this as a hint to try printing the Vic logo on a set of cheap birchwood throwaways  ::)

The title is three lies for one price. Not old, nor swiss, nor many functions...

What get's me the most is the text in the description.
Because when you look at his other adds you can see he sells a lot of knives.
They are all Chinese knives, but I find it hard to believe he doesn't know they are not real SwissChamps.

Ah well, we have to keep our eyes peeled.
