CARE TIPS FOR YOUR SWISS ARMY KNIFE
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
If the blades of knife begin to stick together, open and close the blades in warm water several times – this will allow the tools to move easily again. Once dry, apply a drop of Swiss Army Knife Oil between each tool and its spring. Do not put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher.
HISTORY & HERITAGE
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and his cutlers’ union produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professionals and home cooks. Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and Officer’s Knife. After the death of his mother, and with the advent of stainless steel, 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.

For Younger Kids I really like this knife for younger kids, but not so much for my 7 year old son’s first pocket knife, it’s just too young for him. He is responsible enough to have a pointy end and he would love to work on carving initials and faces and other small details which he just can’t do with this knife. Also the saw blade seems to be not very easy for them to use and requires a coordination that most children don’t have. Plus I just don’t see the use in it. I love the contoured handle, and he has…
Lock-lever sticks out so far as to be a non-starter The blade lock lever sticks far out of the handle and will snag things going into your pocket as well as interfere with sliding the knife in a case. It even pokes you in the hand. The location of the blade lock (in the jaw) is also a challenge for kids, though probably surmountable with training.We’re sending this back. Otherwise it seemed like a pretty decent knife, but the lock lever is really a deal-breaker. Instead I’m buying another small knife with a good lock (Gerber LST)…
Great Basic SAK. I’m 19, and have carried a knife since I was 9. I’ve carried a Victorinox knife since I was 10. None of them had this “Junior” blunt blade, and I never had any problems with that. I never managed to stab myself. Then, I was looking at this one here on Amazon. I thought, blade, saw, Phillips–this is all I actually use on a Swiss Army Knife”, and bought it, even though I knew I would hate the blunt blade. After receiving it today, I have realized that in an emergency, I can use…
