If your knife doesn’t say Victorinox or Wenger on the blade, then you’ve most likely picked up a knock-off. The only true black Swiss Army knives are manufactured by Victorinox and Wenger, and they will label the blade of the knife. If the price is “cheap” be cautious.
The shield has 5 corners and the top of the shield has a small depression in the middle of the top of the shield, similar to the depression seen on many police and fire badges.

Something else that should be considered when a company is ordering promotional black Swiss Army knives is that they shouldn’t settle for the cheapest product. When a good company goes for the cheapest item, they are going to save money but the inexpensive item may make the person not want to deal with the company.
