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.

With a lifetime warranty, the SwissTool has a super-sturdy construction and tools that will not give out on you, even with heavy use.

About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener’s mother, and “inox,” or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer’s and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.

Toolbox on your belt (Note: The photos were added in 2016, four-years after purchase. See the update at the bottom of the review.)First of all, this is an extremely stout tool. The only other multitools I have to compare it to are a Leatherman Wingman and a Schrade Tool, and the SwissTool X is noticeably heavier, probably due to the use of heavier duty stainless steel (to be fair, the Leatherman and Schrade are significantly less expensive). The entire CS kit which includes the hex bit set adds some…

A great multitool BUT please read the bottom of my review for a SERIOUS gripe! I love this multi tool and I have been using a variety of Swiss Army and Victorinox hybrid tools systems for well over 35 years. I really can not add anything new to sing its praises which hasn’t really been sang about this wonerful multitool hundreds of times in its reviews whether on here or other site.I bought this version (there are three slightly different version of this item) because having a pair of scissors was much more important to me than to have a serrated knife or to…

Timeless Engineering and Design Absolutely beautiful. After 2 decades, it still remains one of the premier multitools. This is superior engineering that stands the test of time. Baring any future errors in sharping the knife, this tool will probably last a century or more as long as it is not incorrectly used and abused. Still, this thing will obviously handle major abuse, though it is not (nor is any multi-tool) meant to replace dedicated-function tools. However, it is an excellent tool. I grew up with SAKs (Swiss Army…
