About Victorinox
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: Good selection: awful concept.
The tracks on this cd are excellent and well worth the money. I get worried about the packaging of this sort of disc though because it reminds me of Tesco’s attempt to sell wine to the masses by renaming a mediocre chablis as ‘Good with meat’ or whatever. If this was called ‘Fine Opera’ or ‘An Opera Sampler’ then I’d be a lot happier but the dumb approach of ‘The Only Opera Album You’ll Ever Need’ makes me cringe. Once again though: the music is very good and the performances are excellent on the whole.
Customer Review: Must have for any opera lover new and old
The C.D introduced me to wonderful tracks and brought back great memories with old favorates. Everyone must have a favorate on this CD and are sure to discover new ones. I would recommend it to everyone.
Bosch AXT 2200 HP Silent Garden Shredder 
Amazon Price: ?264.99
Customer Review: You’re going to need a bigger compost bin
I bought this when an old, smaller and noisier shredder (not a Bosch) gave up the ghost. I ordered it yesterday morning, and it arrived by 10 this morning - well done Amazon and City Link. The reviews were right - it’s a really good machine. It’s simple to assemble - six bolts for the stand and wheels; tools supplied; assembly instructions which for once actually made sense - took me 5 minutes. A minor grouse - the packaging uses a lot of expanded polystyrene, which most councils don’t accept for recycling. How about something greener? It comes with a collection bag, which doubles as a dust cover when the machine is back in the shed. The machine is very easy to operate. It chomped its way through branches up to 4 or 4.5cm wide. The automatic feeder is wide enough to take several sticks together, which speeds things up. It works at a comfortable pace. It prefers woody material to thin green stuff, so it seems best to mix the two. It is comfortable to use - no whipping or snatching, so no sore hands after a long period of use. It took me an hour to do what took three hours with the old machine. But best of all, it’s quiet. You can hear the birds sing, and you don’t have ringing in your ears for the rest of the day. The chips are a bit bigger than with a bladed machine, but I don’t think they’ll take much longer to compost. In any case it’s useful to have a bit of bulk material to mix with grass clippings. I should be able to shred and compost a lot of material which previously I’d have put on the bonfire, so I think I’m going to need a bigger compost bin. Yes, it’s more expensive than a smaller, noisier machine, but it’s definitely worth paying the extra. All in all, an excellent machine, which is a pleasure to use. (Yes, that sounds sad, but it’s true!)
Customer Review: Sheffield Star Man
Bought the shredder having seen all the reviews and the glowing tributes to this bit of machinery. Well they were right! I’ve just spent a morning cutting back 4 medium sized trees with masses of branches etc. which would have taken numerous trips to the ‘dump it’ site or an hefty bill for someone to do the job for me. Very pleased has it worked tirelessly for about 3 hours chewing and spitting out the pulp from some hefty sized branches and not a ‘jam’ in sight. Well worth the money and pretty much paid for itself. One minor flaw is that it less good with leafy and thin foliage i.e. privet hedges. All in all 1st class!
