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.Still crafted in the village of Ibach, Switzerland, Swiss Army knives have been known for their quality and craftsmanship since they were first introduced over 100 years ago. Proving that these tools are stylish as well as practical, this 2-1/4-inch miniature model comes in a black casing.

Never Without this Little Helper I am never without this on my key chain. I can’t count the number of times I was thankful to have this knife handy. I’ve bought it multiple times due to loss or forgetting it was on my keys when going through airport security. The point, is that it’s a great every day carry knife with a handful of useful tools.The nail file works great even with the majority of Phillips type screws I’ve encountered. Made well enough for the task. I will likely buy another when this one bites the dust.
Great little tool I have huge Swiss Army knives that do everything except wash the dishes. But they do NOT fit well in my pants pockets. This little guy is just tiny. But it does a great job. And it is NOT expensive. And it is so small and light that I barely know it’s in my pocket. I bought this model when on a trip several years ago and I had forgotten my humongous knife at home. I picked this one because of the low cost. What I have since discovered is that it is invaluable. I have forgotten to pack…
Save your fingernails. Buy Victorinox. Ideal for everyday carry. Every good NCO (Non-Commissioned Officer – Sergeant) should carry a knife and a pen everywhere he or she goes. This knife has the size and convenience to do the job “in-garrison.” For field duty, get a larger Victorinox. Why Victorinox? They won’t pull your fingernails off trying to get the blades open. Great quality. The real-deal Swiss Army Knife.
