About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus started out what would become the global brand name Victorinox, a combining of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox gives rise to watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The initial product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women buying goods in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.

Very pleased with Victornix Army Knife
By Robert C. Ernst
I've had basically the same model for 30 years. My primary is still as sturdy as when I got it. However, the blades were dull.
I purchased this as a replacement, and it shows the same level of workmanships, a blades are razor sharp.

VICTORINOX - always sharp!
By SMEAD
Anything "Victorinox" & made in Switzerland, is 5 STARS. Excellent quality. Excellent blades. I buy 10 (on sale) at a time, wrap them and give them out to friends/family, all around the year. It's a actually handy gift, and even the girls response is "excitement."

Great knife
By T. Spengler
This is a very solid and well made knife. The blades are very sharp and everything works perfectly. It is a little on the stiff side and takes a bit of crusade to open but I'm sure with a bit of use (or some powdered teflon) it will hit the sweet spot in no time.
