For those that have received these Knives recently (Nov 2014) did the Box and Knifes match the Amazon pictures or the customer pictures?

Yes, they did! In fact...I ordered another set after seeing how beautiful they are! In fact, after January I will order another set for our camping needs!

Answering as someone who purchased the set last summer: I'd say "yes". The box was very nice, the knives "quality". We gave this as a wedding gift and it was very well-received.

It came in a genuine Cold Steel box. If it was a fake I would have returned it and warned everyone not to buy it. I looked around a lot for Cold Steel knife sellers and prices and Amazon had a great deal so I bought the knife and I have no regrets.

There is what looks like a serial number printed, not etched, on the blade. I did purchase multiple knives through different orders, and the number remains the same. Therefore, what it intended to look like a serial number is not actually a serial number. In spite of this, I'm quite pleased with the knife.

I have the an original from the first batch they came out with in the 80s it has wooden handles and the sheath was brown folded leater . i recently baught a new one for my son it has dark micarta handles and a black sheath that is stacked leather instead of folded . both are great knives and excelent craftemanship. My original has held up to decades of use and abuse .

Hi VicYou are right Amazon has the wrong pic from what we can tell. We sent an email to them to check inventory with listing.ThanksLou

Just ordered a third for my youngest son. The two before are both 50th anniversary as shown, bought directly from Amazon for the best price around. Not to dissuade you guys from buying from the 3rd party sellers, but pricewise right now even with taxes, and without the hassle of contacting the 3rd party seller to make sure you get a 50th anniversary knife, why veer away from Amazon?

Same thing happened to me. I called Victorinox and they unconvincingly told me it is the same knife just with a different SKU#. I am a little upset because I bought the 47520 because it had German Forschner blade and here it shows up with a Swiss blade and no Forschner logo. Not sure how I am going to proceed. Have you used yours yet? What do you think?Victorinox 47520 Fibrox 8-Inch Chef's Knife

When I bought mine earlier last year, the knife sent to me was S30V. If anything, it's an upgrade from what is mentioned here.

No. I bought the same set for my girlfriend this Christmas. Great knives. We're using our old knife block.

Hello! The knife set was a gift for someone, so I don't have it in hand. However, I do remember that when I received it, it did look exactly as pictured and what I had expected to receive.

I ordered this knife from Amazon and received the one with the lock bar insert.

I haven't used them yet, so I was able to check the box they're still in, but there is no documentation. On the knives themselves, they simply say "stainless steel".

I believe all the knives in this set are forged. They all look like the steak knives. As to where these were made, have no clue anymore, threw the packaging away when I decided to keep the knives. They are really good knives, no matter where they were made.

i hear they all ship with plain blades since last year. A few people have put that in the reviews that it is in fact a plain blade . SOG stopped shipping then in 2012. Its a great knife . I also like the ZT 170 there are some deals out there for 100 shipped. check it out.

Blade steel should be the same, difference can be in handle material, distressed leather for knife sheath, and box is different (black not yellow).

Mine came in a yellow box with black letters. The same box as the 4" buck knife I ordered from amazon.

All of the Victorinox knifes that I have bought from Amazon have been originals. If they weren't they wouldn't probably hold an edge as well as they do and I would have sent them back. They do make different models and also different colored handles. I don't know what you are seeing on the website but these are the real deal.
