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 gift for your favorite Eagle Scout! My son was invited to an Eagle Scout ceremony for a friend of his. We wanted to give him a meaningful gift, and a quick search for “Eagle Scout gifts” turned up this knife. Every young man should have a pocket knife, and with the Eagle emblem on it this was perfect.We ended up getting it directly from the Victorinox website because we could get the boy’s name inscribed on it, but I wanted to tell Amazon buyers that this is a nice quality gift. It’s a small knife, with…

Just as cute as the picture! I love my giraffe Swiss Army Knife (SAK)! It has all the functions I would use and none that I wouldn’t. If I had my druthers, though, I would replace the pair of scissors with a bottle opener, as I find the scissors to be a bit redundant for what use the knife for – that’s just me. All the other tools work just fine, and have come in handy to open boxes, screw a nail into a pair of glasses, clean my teeth, and pluck a splinter out of my hand. The ring that holds the SAK to my lanyard does its…

Great little knife I love this little swiss army knife. It fits perfectly on my key chain. It’s light and extremely handy. First off, I love swiss army knives and have bought my husband really big ones that cost over $150. I needed something small and light. You always run into times where you need a pair of scissors to cut off some string or open up a package. It has a small knife good for cutting open packages and it also has a toothpick. I don’t personally use this, but it’s good to reset small buttons…
