Oh come on.

Actualy, Zwilling knives are great quality.

I once held one before knowing the brand and thought it was a promotional SAK. Perfect fit & finish, great lock-up.

Yes, but still.
Maybe but not a fake (some may disagree) but it's still misusing a brand name.
Ah.
Didn't notice :D

Wow. That is the most brazen smurfed up ripoff I've seen lately. I sent a report about it.
Thanks for posting that one, Reinier.

If i read that right, it says stainless china on the knife...  :facepalm:

You sure you posted the correct link? Only tang stamp I saw was quite normal looking "Officier Suisse"... Tools look pretty good too  :think:  :dunno:

Look closely, the listing has ended so eBay shows a suggestion (which is a real SAK).
This is the original one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/victorinox-knife-2-25-closed-abs-handle-/382763516932?_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l44720&nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=true

Seller was pretty rude when I told him about it.

It's still not allowed!
Seller wouldn't believe me though.

I want to sell a t-shirt that looks like an Adidas shirt. Can I put "Adidas" in the listing?
No, because you're not selling an Adidas t-shirt. Including it would be both misleading to buyers and a breach of that brand's trademark. This is a search manipulation tactic called keyword spamming, where brand names or other inappropriate keywords are added to a listing's title or description to attract buyers.

I even sent him that link.

Thanks for the information! I'm gonna go bonkers reporting bad listings. The use of Leatherman for any MT drives me nuts as well as Vic for CAKs.
