History and Heritage
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers’ union he formed produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and in 1897 with the Officer’s Knife. In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent of stainless steel, then known as “inoxydable” and used in the production of his cutlery, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born.
Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.
Care Tips for Swiss Army Knives
The various tools are manufactured from high-quality steel with precisely tuned features that are essential for the particular application. The steel is tempered, annealed and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion.
Sharpening
To re-sharpen your knife, use a whetstone at an angle of 15°– 20°. This will result in a cutting angle of 30°– 40°. If sharpening on a grinding wheel, always cool with plenty of water to avoid excessive temperatures and the resulting damages that may occur.
Cleaning
After you’ve used your Swiss Army Knife for all of its various applications, such as cutting open numerous boxes, you may notice that the blades begin to stick together. Opening and closing the blades in warm water several times will allow the tools to easily move again. Once they have dried, it is recommended, to apply a small drop of oil between the blade or tool shank and the spring. To optimally maintain the locking mechanism, periodically apply a drop of our recommended Swiss Army Knife Oil. Never put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher.”

Perfect Backpacking Knife, Especially the Saw! The Huntsman model Swiss Army knife is my all-time favorite. I have owned several over the past 30+ years and use them until they wear out, or I misplace them :). I am primarily using these while backpacking, and the Huntsman offers everything I need (or might need) without having a knife that weighs 5 pounds. The must-have features are the two blades, screwdriver, can opener, and the scissors. But, the key discriminator for me is the saw. I have used the saw cut out part of a broken tent…
Buy it if you want a great tool but go for the Victorinox EvoGrip if you want a locking blade The huntsman is MY FAVORITE Swiss army version (well it use to be). I am now on my 4th (due to TSA / losing / other people ‘borrowing’ them).The tool-set is in my opinion the best compromise between functionality and size / weight. I find that if you are out in big outdoors you will need at a minimum the knife and the saw. Can and bottle openers also come in handy if you are camping. If you are in a less “outdoorsey” setting e.g. in church or the office then you don’t really…
A proven tough and very useful pocket knife. This little knife is worth its weight in gold, or at least silver. I carried this knife for many years in my daypack when I was on active duty. It has just the right amount of tools, not to big. Especially useful are the saw (which will cut through just about anything), the scissors (will easily trim finger and toe nails), and the best can opener in the knife business, even better than a “John Wayne”. After I retired I went to work as a contractor training international military people…
