Title: Cheap Chinese Victorinox copy... pretty much awful. But the scales are decent

Don't want to cross-post, so here's the link to this knife in cheap and cheerful:

The short of it is: The knife is completely awful in every way except one: With a tiny bit of work, the wooden scales fit Victorinox knives. So you're paying $14 for some (tool-less) wooden scales and a large lump of useless metal.

It might be a cheap way of getting wooden scales...  but for so many reasons, it can't be right!

Trim them up to the shape and thickness that you want and use them as a template so you don't mess up some nice woods.
