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 EDC knife for anyone I’ve owned dozens of knives over the years but recently went back to my very first knife, the Swiss Army Classic in Silver Alox. I still have the same red one I got at nine years old but don’t carry it anymore to prevent losing it.The basic functions you need in an EDC knife are here and will serve you well. The scissors are possibly the best cutting instrument available. My decades-old red model still has razor-sharp scissors in spite of being used at least a thousand times. If you…
More useful than you think I bought this as a replacement for one I lost at a security checkpoint (forgot to go back and claim it). I had the other one for a couple years and it was still working perfectly.You will not regret your decision to have one of these on your keyring. I find that I use it all the time.KNIFE: Opening packages, cutting, etc. It goes dull, but that is probably a good thing. Its a dangerous little thing when sharp since it does not lock open. I have cut myself a few times due to…
Incredibly handy, especially for fishermen. These are incredibly handy pocket knives, especially for fishermen. Let me get straight to the point:Pros:- Sharp scissors and knife! I use the scissors to cut fishing line (I typically use up to 20 lb test braid and up to 40 lb test mono leader) and the blade to open packages. As usual, remember to close it when you’re done with it.- Contrary to the picture shown, the nail filer end is actually flat. That’s right, it doubles as a flathead! It has saved me many times…
