When I think of "fake SAK" I think of Chinese stuff.  I would call what he's doing custom work.

I just noticed the website.

Wow!   :o

I wish I had that type of skill.  I wouldn't mind doing that type of work as my side gig after I retire.

Damasteel Twist ... done by a Swiss maker I have his name somewhere it's pretty great stuff, all custom made, no parts from the original Victorinox/Wenger  knife even the Screws are hand done which is pretty impressive.

Vintage Ivory scales which are beautiful but I wish they were Ivory Micarta.

Oh and Meteorite Bolsters  :D

I feel a bit bad about my attempted funny thread name (Now I have one it does seem a little disrespectful) , Is there anyone about who could  change it to something like Andre Perret Swiss Army Knife  :)

From March 30st to April 1st is the "Knife Festival in Vallorbe". Mr. Perret is usually there and shows of his work (top bloke, chatted with him on several occasions). Alghough he neither has it listed on his site nor he is listed on the festival site, so maybe he is skipping it this year.
His prices are high but reasonable for what you get. Though he does mostly knives these days.

Also, picture below, I took years ago at the Wenger factory store. So, I would say it's as official as it can get  :D
The picture of the Soldier I took on another occasion,

It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

These knives are beautiful

But Jaydar - I think you were right first time around - They are fake !!  :o

Is there anything in this knife that is from the original? Apart from the shape - Which of course is not a physical thing!!   :pok:
The only thing I can think of is the liners - But I am sure that Andre Peret would not have standard liners on these beauties
The only other component I can think of is the springs - Are they original?
