CARE TIPS FOR YOUR SWISS ARMY KNIFE
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
If the blades of knife begin to stick together, open and close the blades in warm water several times – this will allow the tools to move easily again. Once dry, apply a drop of Swiss Army Knife Oil between each tool and its spring. Do not put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher.
HISTORY & HERITAGE
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and his cutlers’ union produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professionals and home cooks. Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and Officer’s Knife. After the death of his mother, and with the advent of stainless steel, 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.The Swiss Army Tinker Pocket Knife is a compact knife with a selection of 12 useful tools. Precision crafted in Switzerland, this red knife is constructed with an acid-resistant plastic and aluminum handle, and 100-percent stainless steel components that will hold their edge and last for years. The Tinker is lightweight and measures 3.31 inches when closed. This Swiss Army knife features; large and small blades, can and bottle openers, two screwdrivers, wire stripper, reamer, and a sewing eye. Tweezers and a toothpick pull out of the ends of the Tinker and it is even equipped with a handy key ring. As with all Swiss Army knives, this knife comes with a lifetime warranty.

Victorinox never disappoints! Got this for my 7 year old son and he uses it every day! Identical to my full-sized Tinker in a slightly compact size, so it fits his hands a little bit better, but it’s no toy and even when his hands grow, he won’t outgrow the usefulness of this knife!All the tools you need and none you don’t (We drink coffee, we have no need for a corkscrew…).Victorinox stainless takes an edge well & holds it long. Great knives across the board. Highest recommendations…
Nice, versatile, capable, small pocket knife Love the smaller 84mm size vs the 91mm of the regular. Even though i have large hands, the handle fits completely in my grip so it is very comfortable to use. It hangs in my pocket and I hardly notice it until ready for use. I love having the small blade, and find I prefer it for most tasks. Great little pocket knife. I have a Swiss Champ that is 30 years old. The quality of the new ones is pretty close…and that is nice to see in today’s world.
Lightweight, Compact, Versatile Tool The tinker is my personal favorite Victorinox model and one that I often give as gifts for which this one is intended. It has two blades that are easy to sharpen, a Phillips and two regular screwdriver blades, tweezers and a toothpick which are all frequently useful. The can opener, bottle cap lifter and awl have become less useful as technology is quickly moving to containers that do not require separate opener tools. I can’t recall the last time I saw a drink bottle that required a tool to…
