Possibly not fake. The original price is about correct, and some SOG stuff is made in China according to sources like Wiki and SOGknives.com...
I get most of my China-made Fenix and Nitecore stuff from Aliexpress and it's always been genuine, but I'm careful about sellers - This place has a good number of sales and pretty good feedback.

Looks alright to me, but Caveat Emptor always applies....

I don't think it's meant to imply a fishing shop...
Dakou means saw-gashed, referring to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-out_(recording_industry)

'Dakou' was/is basically black market imports of foreign (ie, Western) music in the 1990s, which later gave rise to China's own rock music scene. Even today it has cool 'underground' tones, as it developed within a strong Communist regime and was the only way kids could get to hear things like Metallica, Nirvana and Joy Division.

https://radii.co/article/photo-of-the-day-dakou-generation

So I'd guess the name is basically the same idea as Rock Chicken or Punk Hedgehog.

Thank you very much! I will probably order from here. Black powerpint looks very nice.

For the price, it's probably worth a punt.
Let us know how it turns out... if it's good quality, I might be tempted to try one myself!

Well, I've got a  satin finish (2 actually), but that black really looks nice with a savings of around $20.00 too.
Might have to look into one.

I've always used victorinox and leatherman. I am thinking of buying (sog) for the first time. I have doubts about the quality. I hope this seller sells original sog. :D

I'm quite pleased with my PowerPint and have no issues with it.  I'm just thinking that a BO would look good too.

BO = Blacked Out, ie painted all-black instead of shiny silvery steel.

I have also seen BO as Black Oxide coating,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_oxide

I doubt it will kill you, but I would not use it, just in case you end up ingesting any of the coating.

I had two ordered :
One black powerpint, and a silver powerlitre.

Apparently the seller doesn't know what black means. however, it seems perfectly genuine

They certainly look good to me.

The bits look to be the SOG bit set as well.
I was thinking on ordering another one, BO or brushed, doesn't really matter to me, just to get the sheath.  I'm wondering; does the sheath hold the PowerPint and the bit set together?

After some talk with the seller, I can say he is really nice, so I ordered one more powerpint and he offered to send me gift with my next order if you guys refer to me when purchasing yours :whistle:
if it really happens, I'll use those gifts for a giveaway here or something similar :)

Well,  it looks like it fits the PowerPint quite well.   I have mine in a cheap tool pouch that's way to tall.
Bits would fit though.  😆

Very nice in black, I am eager to get mine since the other one came in silver  :twak:

Mine is a little misaligned too, but that's not uncommon for this type pliers, most of my MP400s are, so is my SOG powerlock I think
