Title: Is this legitimate or a clone?
Post by: Butch on October 11, 2018, 03:23:29 AM: I have not seen this anywhere else, so I'm just a little suspicious?

Post by: gerleatherberman on October 11, 2018, 03:50:23 AM: I've bought a tool from them before. They do a lot of rescale sales from what I can tell. I bought a Climber with Emerald scales from them. It's probably a regular Champ with stayglow aftermarket scales(you know, the $10 scales from Russia). They try and make it seem like a factory tool, but they aren't fooling anyone. Their prices are pretty good though.

How ya been, Butch?

Victorinox makes stayglow scales.

I read somewhere that they had discontinued them. Do you know where I could get them from? I have not been able to find them.

I was referring to the Stayglow scale that come with some Victorinox models.

I have a Stayglow Recsue knife.
