These fakes look like they are all the same design to me?  ??? ??? Only the scales are different.

A chain clothing shop down the road is selling similar designs. They are not advertised as Victorinox per se, but I feel distressed all the same.
Some Scouts are even buying and using them!!  :ahhh
When you could get a Vic for the same price....  :facepalm:
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

It's the standard tool make-up of the maxi-bladed Chinese-made multi-bladed pocket knife. You see them all over the place in different sizes. I have one that I picked up at a flea market/barn sale for $1 that's 71mm long. I'm going to use it to learn/practice knife sharpening, tear down and modification skills before taking on some mods to Vic Minichamp and Wenger Pocket Tool Chest.

There was a box (slightly larger than a cigar box) filled with old knives large and small for $1 each. I went through each knife and pulled out the 3 Victorinoxes (a red 91mm Tinker missing a scale, a black 84mm small Tinker with a broken large blade/damaged small blade and a dingy white Classic SD with Berringer on the scale.) The 71mm Chinese knife was the "best" of the remaining so I took it, also. It should make good fodder for practice.

Vintage Victorinox?

More like poor vintage Chinese.

I really hate the "style" word.  SAK "style".... Victorinox "style"... I suppose it make the title or descriptor technically true but still seems like it's intended to mis-lead.

I mean, would people talk about Rolex "style" watches?  Or BMW "style" cars?

people do, actually talk about "replica" watches, and the Z8 body kit for a Z4............

I guess I consider "replica" different than "style."  Replica is a fancy, classy version of knockoff.  I can't imagine anyone would read 'replica' and not know that it isn't the real thing.  'Style' can hid more... it's less obvious that it means it isn't the genuine article.

Yet another Chinese knock-off with the manufacturer listed as Victorinox and the country of origin as Switzerland;

http://www.ebay.com/itm/281569965475?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Not to mention it's a knife that would cost under $10 new and it's being sold for $15 used.
