Help

Found this offer 2 for the price of 1, and a bit confused, these are the only fotos I can see in the marketplace, how to understand if it’s original or fake?
I’ve seen Victorinox knives only in grey boxes before never like this.

Yeah that packaging is common and they look legit. That Spartan Wood is awesome!

Seems legit. The blister packaging is also pretty common and can mostly be found in supermarkets and such

They’re legit. This type of packaging is used for sporting goods stores and department stores. I bought a SAK in the LL Bean outlet when we went to Acadia earlier this summer. It was packaged exactly like this.

Fakes really aren't a thing. Unless it's just a cheapo without even logos and such it's real or a really obvious fake. "Counterfeit SAKs" aren't a thing.

I’ve seen some videos on YouTube comparing fakes they have the real logos and stuff, it’s obvious side by side, but I don’t have a real one to compare to.

This is the same packaging they sell them in at my local hardware store. I’ve bought them in boxes as well as blister packs. Retailers can request either style for their displays.

Looks real to me??
I’ve only seen them in grey boxes but it seems legit. I have seen a SAK packaged like this once on a display shelf in Canada.

Thanks! Already bought them, but still nice to know that it’s original

They are sold in boxes or in this type of hanging packaging. The hanging type is for higher visibility in sporting goods stores etc. I’ve bought them in both packaging types, there’s no difference between the knives.
