Is this a real Victorinox SAK?

[naughtiiee]

I was looking through ebay and I found this "Swiss Victorinox" knife.
I was curious because I never saw this kind of model.
If the stamp on the blade seemed accurate (such as "Victorinox; Switzerland; Stainless; Rostfrei... etc..), could it be a real Victorinox?
Does such a model exist? Is it real?

Thanks!

The handle with the Victorinox symbol and blade shapes make me think it is a real Victorinox, but I don't know this model, it looks like a Victorinox Forester where the saw is replaced by a belt cutter.

Edit: while reading a bit on the German SAK forum, someone mentioned the Victorinox Parachutist. Looks like the one you mention, but the Parachutist has a philips head screw driver instead of the cork screw.

It certainly look OK from the picture. It's a slide-lock SAK of some type (the cap lifter's the wrong shape for a liner-lock plus the fact it's got a sewing eye in the awl) but I'm not sure what. If it also had a saw I'd say it was a Fireman, otherwise it's unusual.

This does look like non-OH, slide-lock Fireman with the wood saw blade closed.

That looks like a parachutist (I think thats a seat belt cutter). This is a bit of an enigma. There shouldn't be an eye in the awl or a corkscrew. :|

It looks like a black Adventurer with a seat belt cutter (which doesn't exist)...


EDIT: I think ufox9al is right. Perhaps the seller couldn't find the saw? I couldn't find the saw on my OHT when I first got it

The seller said that all the tools are displayed.
... and now the auction is closed...
hmmm...
suspicious?
maybe? or maybe it was a mod... hmmm

The saw is there, even in the blurry picture you can clearly see it in the curve in the handle profile. I am guessing the seller finally found it and will be re-creating the listing.

I think you're right! Also, if you look at the sellers other items for sale, he only has a couple of knives; mostly music related items. He's obviously not a knife person.

We all missed a heckuva deal: could have bought it for $.99 with free shipping!
