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.

I have this in my purse. The blade is wonderful when I need it to cut fruit or to open mail. It’s just something handy to have on you. The weight of this knife is not bad. Not too heavy but doesn’t feel too light that it feels cheap.
5 Stars wow!
I got this pocket knife to replace 1 I broke. Wow! I had my older knife for about 20 years and it broke because I tried to pry something off that wouldn’t come off…without dynamite. That knife was also a Swiss Army knife. I must say this one is sooooo nice. My other one had the same pieces except a pen too. But this one has everything I really want in a knife. And it’s sharp too.
5 Stars Great knife! As expected
I had a blue version of the same knife. This one is as a present for my farther. He haven’t seen this but I think he’ll like it. Good product!
4 Stars Victorinox Swiss Army Climber II Pocket Knife
Good and versitile knife with one fault: The hook should be removed (What is it for?),and a Phillips-head screwdriver should be added.
