Victorinox + Pandas?

[drone6]

So...tonight has been one of those "can't sleep so let's meander around the internet" kinda nights, and I've found three very interesting SAKs that I'm hoping someone here can help me with.

First, an older model with an inlaid panda instead of cross/shield. The panda looks pretty similar to the world wildlife foundation's logo:

The poster states that the knife was bought in Switzerland. Has anyone here seen this model before or have any info on it? My wife loves pandas so I figure this is one knife I could bring home without worrying about getting the "did you buy another knife" stink-eye. 

Then, I found two recent (potentially not released yet) panda-themed knives, both of which are supposedly for the Chinese domestic market:

Any info on these guys? Anyone here have a solid supplier for Chinese-market SAKs? I would love to get my hands on these.

Those are both very nice!  There was a white Panda classic on ebat a couple weeks ago, at least I think it was a classic.  It was one fo the few classics I was interested in.

That new Bamboo Panda knife looks quite new as it is based on the pin-stripe scales.  It's very nice, I would not mind finding one or two of these.  Let us know if you find a source.

It's very nice... Let us know if you find a source.

Believe it or not, DX could be that source. They started to sell VICs a couple of months ago, and they have that Beijing Opera Mask from the Special Edition for Greater China

Nothing new yet but it's worth taking a look every now end then.
