Am I the only unlucky one to receive this in a CHEAP plastic package?

I honestly don't remember. Whatever packaging it came in I threw away.But I will say that this is what I use on a daily basis and it's really nice:The Container Store Deluxe Knife DockI know that isn't really a solution, but just offering a suggestion...

Mine was in the box as shown, though the box was cheaper than it appears. It is made our odd cardboard.

I ordered two of the Kyocera Knife Sets to give as gifts and yes they both came packed in the described black box. I did pay extra to get the knives with the black blades, but I had previously been gifted a set of the white blades and they too were in the black box.

No, I received mine in the black box as pictured. However, I paid more for mine...around $65 - $70 ...if I remember correctly. Maybe the box drove the price up! I kept the box incase I need to return it to have it sharpened.

Yea it's the real deal brother. Yea there are a lot of fake ones out there but there are no fake ones with the black DLC blade. To be sure I disassembled it and saw the date of manufacture which is only on the real ones

I just received my box and it has the code cut out as well as the UPC. I am sending it back . I have ordered this before and it had the code intact, these must be fakes.

I'm sorry I did not see the packaging as it was shipped directly to my mother. I did not order as a gift and did not expect it to be "nicely" packaged. If you're concerned, I'd ship to yourself and put in a nice gift box before giving to someone. My experience with Amazon "gifts" is the note I write is on the shipping label and often the receiver didn't know it was from me. I usually follow up once I know it's been delivered to see if they liked it, and to let them know it was from me:)

If the seller was Amazon I don't believe you would receive a bootleg product. My purchase was boxed and the box was sealed with Cellophane. Did you receive yours in a similar fashion, was the box sealed in plastic? If not you may want to check the return policy. Good luck

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.

Same here. Purchased 7 months ago (Apr 1, 2014), and still no knife. This is the worst experience I've ever had with Amazon.

So I'm a stickler for holding onto receipts and warranties, and I have looked through everything and cannot find either!! I did find the box it was shipped in and the box the knive came in and they say nothing. The knive also comes in an "Altoid" style tin and that says: CRKT RITTER RSK Mk5 on the top, and on the bottom says: Model 2380 RSK Mk5. I doubt that is very helpful, maybe you could contact them directly @ crkt.com and ask them to clarify. Sorry I couldn't answer that for you. It is a great little knife. I got it specifically because it fits in an Altoids tin for my emergency kit. Way better than a pocket knife and you can wrap the handle with paracord for some grip. Good luck

There now seem to be at least two different-looking versions of this tool with the same model number available online (both Amazon and elsewhere) and ranging in price from $50 to over $100. For example the video on the Amazon page does the demo with a different tool (about $50) than the one shown above for $100. Which version is the newest most "upgraded" version, and which ones have been sitting in a warehouse? For $100 and claimed to be "upgraded" and engraved, I expect an accurate one first try, no returns or return postage or delays - or I might as well just buy the plastic version.

My purchase was from Amazon LLC, so direct from them. I ordered on March 23, 2014 and received it on January 21, 2015. So, in short, close to a year. The knife is no longer manufactured from what I understand so don't expect it soon or at all. I believe Amazon no longer sells it directly either so only third party vendors are going to have it (maybe).

We received two sets of these knives. The first set were the original ones from France. Excellent quality and a nice balanced weight. Beautiful engraving and the bee. The box was the one with the hinged lid. Ordered the other to add to the first from the same place and they were definitely fake. Nothing marched the picture. Amazon stood behind the rider but we sadly don't have the ones that match. I would order and make sure they match the picture. The second ones were in a box with a slide on kid and they were lighter weight. They had Netherlands stamped all over the box. I would give it a shot you will not be disappointed.

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?

They seem to be sending out the serrated 140SBK even though We want the plain edge 140BK that is described here. Requested a replacement and can only get a refund as of 06-25-14. Buy elsewhere I guess?

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

This knife didn't come with a belt case. What I received was a small cardboard box, inside was a folded advertisement for more of their products and the knife wrapped in a thin plastic bag. I do want to point out that this knife should NOT be carried by its pocket clip as it will open and cut you. -Joe

Hi. I've read that there are fakes around on ebay for sure. I can't vouch but the box here and the warranty card, manual, cloth, case - all look pretty authentic to me. The logo cut too looks pretty authentic. If you want to compare to a fake google for sample images. You pretty much can tell straightaway. The box (for fake) is a little like this but seem oversized, the logo cut is clumsy (unless "they" refined it) and the flute do not come with the above warranty cards owner's manual etc. My case is moulded plastic which has maroon velvet, my friend's son's has a case like this one.
