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.

Comparing the alox vs. plastic scales models I have the Victorinox Classic SD in both the alox and plastic scales. It goes without saying that both knives offer a useful assortment of tools and high build quality in a very small and lightweight package. The question is which version should you buy, and I will list the advantages of each model below, based on my experience.

Simply the best $15 you will ever spend. Probably the single most useful pocket knife ever conceived. For it’s size and weight, there is a reason this is the most popular knife on the planet. I have had one of these things on my keychain for many years and it will never leave it. It’s kind of like the old adage, “The .22 in your pocket beats the .45 in your safe at home.” Same applies to one of these, yes it’s small but you will literally have it in you everywhere you go without even realizing it’s there til you need it.

I take this everywhere. I love these small pocket knifes. They are so handy. I have carried this model of Swiss army knife for 30 years. This is my third one.

I work outside all day and sweat . My second one is 10 years old and there is very little rust on it even with all the sweat that gets on and the blade and scissors…
