I just received a set of these knives that seem fake. What is the number and logo text that should be printed on the blade of the original product?

Don't know. I found the knives to be lightweight and too flexible. I know these are rated well but they didn't match my expectations or raters comments. I gave them to my daughter and fell back on my Chicago steak knives.

I ordered 40002 knives, but the ones that arrived say 5.2000.12 I checked the Victorinox web site and it shows that 40002 is the North America #, and 5.2000.12 is the International number. So I believe they are the correct knives. http://www.swissarmy.com/medias/sys_master/8861900111902/CommercialCutlery2013Catalog.pdf

Mine have the word Victornox and a shield with a cross in it. Next to that is a Victornox emblem. Next to that is some kind of serial or model number.As I noted in my review, these knives are not "hefty". They have held up nicely for 4-5 years, however, and, they keep a nice edge.

logo: shield with cross above VICTORINOX. Then an oval with eagle over VICTORINOX and SWISS MADE in margin. Numbers5.200.12 over 40002. The knives are stamped steel and are thin. High quality steel. Larger Victorinox knives are the standard in meat handling and in veterinary medicine necropsies. They take and retain an edge well. I have touched up the edge on mine only a ceramic stone or a strop. My wife uses these over a Henkels paring knife.

first it should say Victorinox and a shield with a cross. Next to it is an oval with a bird and mountains as a background and the words Victorinox Swiss Made. The number on my blades is 5.2000.12 then under this number is 40002. Hope this helps.

I phoned the Ontario Knife Company and they told me that Rothco is a big distributor of theirs. To check the authenticity of the knife, check the sides of the hex nut at the top. One side should have the word "Ontario" and some numbers. The numbers are the government contract date. BTW I needed a magnifying glass to read the name and numbers.

It is, and when you get it all the proper markings will be in the correct places. I think it's just a ripped image of the knife. But all in all its a good knife has replace my buck folder as my new edc. Great ergonomics, great fit n finnish, good steel

I am sorry, I have no idea. I have had mine over a year ago. I do not have the packaging and it does not tell on the knives. I know I really like mine.

There is no model number that I can find on the knife blade, handle, or purchase order.

Sorry, I already tossed the packaging. However, if you go to www.hamptonforge.com you can ask Hampton Forge LTD (R) directly. It is a US company based in New York and New Jersey but I can't tell you were they get there knives from. I do have to say they are awesome knives. But be careful they are so sharp I have cut myself and didn't even realize it until I saw the blood. I hope this info helps :)

If it's a counterfeit, it's a really good one. One way to tell (so I've read) is the lettering on the genuine one is engraved and the counterfeit ones are just stenciled. The one I received is engraved.

If you are ordering blades you should be able to get specs on them also are numbered on the back of blade. You may have to clean the old blade on the back to find the number imprinted on the blade.

The one you will receive will look exactly like the website. When I ordered mine I noticed the same thing, but the knife I received is exactly like the pictures on the SOG website.

The Ontario knife company web site should have the info. I found my original packaging and it did not have any info in the box.

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.

The one I received had no print on the blade, however I have seen some that do

As far as I know these knives are authentic. At first I was worried after I noticed some variation on the handles. The utility and bread knives say FIBROX, but the chef and paring knives don't. However, if you check Victorinox's web site, you'll see the same variation throughout their Fibrox line, and the knives seem to work as well as advertised, so I don't see any cause to worry.

I read a lot of reviews saying people had received counterfeited blades and decided to give it a shot anyway. Most of the reviews that said they got fake blades said that they either came in unusual packaging, like a plain white box, or that upon further review found that the ones they purchased were "Gillette fusion compatible blades". I did see a few listings that were these type, and are generally way too cheap to be genuine blades. I purchased directly from Amazon, the product came in standard Amazon packaging and looked like it could have been hanging on a shelf at a local retailer. I'd recommend paying attention to the seller. Other than that, if you do get fake blades, Amazon has a good reputation for fixing things that go wrong. Hope this helps.
