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 forerunner of that name 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 or versatility.

Customer Review: perfect as usually
what i need is mostly scissors and a corkscrew,

sometimes – long blade and can opener.

They work perfect.

Nice item to be stolen (which is the truth

for my previous dozen)

Customer Review: A great gift!
Victorinox makes great swiss knives. My humble opinion is that for a knife to balance functionality and practicality (what’s the point of having a knife with 150 different functions- you can’t carry it comfortably in your pocket, let alone comfortably grip the thing to actually use it), it must have 1 blade, a can opener, a bottle opener, a corkscrew and scissors. The tweezers are a nice thing to have as well. This “Climber II” fits the bill (with a few extras too), and at $13.99, I bought a bunch of them to have on hand for gifts.
