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 Pocket 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 Pocket Knife Oil. Never put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher.

I really like Victorinox knives I really like Victorinox knives. I have been carrying a deluxe tinker for a while now and wanted to get a new knife/multitool to replace it as it is getting a little worn out. I saw this knife and always wanted to try out a Wenger knife before Victorinox bought them and figured why not.The good:Size- just a bit bigger than the deluxe tinker, still fit in my watch pocket on my jeansBlade- the blade is a nice shape and did come sharp. The locking feature is nice and I wish…

Not Victorinox Quality Overall this is a nice knife, but it lacks the standard Victorinox quality. I bought this because of the locking blade, which is a useful feature and rare for the Swiss Army Knife. When I received the knife, I immediately realized that the wood cutting blade contacted the blade guard between itself and the scissors when closing. (This can be corrected by slightly pulling the blade to the correct side when closing, but why should I have to do that?) I returned/exchanged the knife assuming…

Can’t say enough about this model SAK, but I’ll try. This knife is available in the Wenger design and this Victorinox “hybrid” design. Victorinox bought Wenger some time back and now, both produce this model. The all-Wenger model has the brand name embedded at the bottom of the scales. BTW, those are not just stick-on grippy surfaces, they are recessed into the handles and the grip-tops are flush with the celador scales. The feel, in either direction, is just the berries. The ergonomics are simply awesome. At the moment, this…
