Peking Swisscard Deal Alert?
on: February 18, 2013, 08:49:19 AM
So I found this deal and it seems to be too good to be true (I did order 3, so I hope they arrive).  A Peking Swisscard for $4.20?  Am I missing something here?

Apparently their Vic stuff has been genuine - don't know about that one though.

You also will have to wait ages for it to arrive! ::)

  On the bright side, the tools would cost your more separately.    :cheers:

Well, seeing as how I am just a hop, skip and and jump from ol Chiner, it should get here rather briskly.

I bought a Bantam from DX, it's genuine but it took 2 months to get here, I worked out the average speed... It's literally walking pace.

I'm wondering it that the whole Swiss Card or just the tools...

Still, it's worth a punt.  I've ordered a couple

They have a cheap 108mm Solo too...

The shape of the tooothpick alone disqualifies it as a genuine Victorinox.  And the file is cut not the Vic electro-blasted.  Also the color of the plastic ends on the file, pen, and tweezers - cream instead of grey.  It does not have the Vic rotating cover (with angles on newer models) for the scissors.  So I'd say it is a fake.

Hmmm, that is discouraging. If it is pure junk, I'll have to return it.

Meh, if it's fake I'll just gift them.
Would still be useful for my mum to keep in her handbag.

I believe chako bought one of these and it turned out to be a fake.

Or you can buy a genuine red Swiss Card and try to change the tools with the fake one. ;)

The genuine model also has a shield on the file handle.
