victorinox knives from dealextreme? fake?

[sogflash]

I've seen some knives on dealextreme with the name "Genuine Victorinox Swiss Army".

knowing dealextreme, I seriously doubt that they are real.

are they fake or not?

I wouldn't trust 'em. They seem to be mostly a retail front for Chinese manufacturers, and they carry tons of fakes in general. I see no reason to buy Victorinox knives from them.

they look legit but the fakes are pretty convinving now a days, no reason to get them people buy stuff from there because they are broke and want something that appears to be very high end and isnt, you can get alot of victoinox knives for very reasonable from anywhere, including amazon and youll get a better deal on shipping... i got my sak spartan at walmart for 19$

Why not drop Victorinox an email?

If they are fakes, the manufacturer might like to be know!

They could also be using actual stock photography to represent a fake product.

Common sense should not be ignored.

My bet is that they're very good fakes: I saw them on there, but no way in hell I'm buying a Victorinox from a Chinese website when I can get them just as cheap through the official Victorinox stores here!

I was under the impression that the whole purpose of dealextreme is to sell knock offs.
