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.

My favourite May 14, 2010
Johnny D (NYC)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased the first version off an Dutch soldier at a train station as they were loading their tanks onto trains after a military excersise in the '80s. It was always my favourite knife when growing up. I actually thought the knife was an 'Dutch army exclusive'. At some point I lost the knife.
When I saw the knife on Amazon I purchased a new version immediately. I love the this version of the simple Swiss army knife over the ones that have red plastic handle covers. More robust. And great utility.
Great knife for backpacking April 14, 2010
Marcus Peacock (Washington, DC United States)
After owning one of these for over 20 years I recently lost it. I'm not hesitating to buy another one. Over the years my family/friends have used other knives and I've recieved other knives as gifts. This knife remained the best. It has the basic tools you need for camping, it doesn't weigh much, it's incredibly well built, it's easy to grasp, and it looks great. The best testimonial is whenever someone in my family had some serious work to do involving a knife and someone else offered their knife I'd always hear, "No, get me Daddy's knife."
Great gentlemen's folder February 22, 2010

I got tired of some of the looks I got when pulling out my Spyderco or Benchmade knives. Even my SOG Twitch II would have people look at me differently. I needed a knife for those occasions and places where pulling a knife out would be in bad taste. This knife is perfect. Everyone, familiar with knives or not, is familiar with Swiss Army knives. This version in aluminum instead of red is elegant enough to carry in my suit and the blade shape is very unthreatening. It not being a lock blade, I am able to carry it in my pocket in Los Angeles instead of having to clip it plain view.
Great EDC pocket knife February 21, 2010
6thtexas (Boerne, Texas)
This may be the closest thing to the best all-around pocket knife I've seen. I've used every tool on it and they all work as promised. The blade can be sharpened to where it will shave. The knife is compact, slim, and inobtrusive. I am sold on Victoinox tools!
The Soldier February 4, 2010
Keith D. Wiley (Fort Dodge, IA)
This is a GREAT knife. I won't go into any detail concerning the features, quality, size, etc. because that's been amply covered by other reviewers. The reviews here are very helpful, and certainly contributed greatly to my decision to buy this knife. I've never owned a Victorinox knife before, so I wasn't quite sure what to think about them.
Let me just say that I HAVE owned dozens of pocketknives over the years, virtually every one of them more expensive than the Soldier, and I believe that the Soldier will now be the knife that I carry on a daily basis. It's THAT good!!! The features, quality and size are perfect in my opinion. All this in a $22 knife! Unbelievable!
