The cutlery company founded in 1884 by Karl Elsener in Schwyz, Switzerland is
now the largest cutlery manufacturer in Europe.
In 1891 they obtained the first contract to supply the Swiss Army with a
sturdy 'Officers Knife'. So successful was the knife that other versions soon
followed and now this revolutionary knife is available in over 100 different
models with 40 different kinds of blades and tools.
Over 10% of Victorinox's 950 employees are in the final inspection department
ensuring that every product leaving the factory matches the standards of quality
and precision for which they are famous.
Owned and used by Presidents, astronauts, explorers, rescuers and the kid next door and his dad.
