From the manufacturer

The company Victorinox

In 1884, Karl Elsener opened his cutler’s workshop in Ibach-Schwyz. At this time Switzerland was still one of the poorer countries in Europe. In the early years Karl Elsener worked to combat poverty and unemployment in the Schwyz basin, creating jobs and helping stem the flow of emigration.

In 1891 he supplied the soldier’s knife to the Swiss Army for the first time. He went on to develop the Swiss Officer’s and Sports Knife – now the iconic Swiss Army Knife – in 1897, creating the foundation for a flourishing company that would be able to hold its own on the world stage.

From then on, his spirit of solidarity, deep roots in the region and strong commitment to solid values shaped the Victorinox company philosophy.

Quality

Victorinox assures that its products meet the highest standards in all areas and quality is never compromised, regardless of the production site.

For reasons of expertise, items are produced abroad, where the technical, staff and material resources needed for efficient manufacture can be accessed. To ensure that these products also meet the highest standards, partners are chosen carefully and the high quality standards are stringently enforced.

It is this level of quality that has allowed Victorinox to become one of the leaders in Switzerland and the rest of the world.

Ordered this knife looking for another knife to complete daily tasks that was low profile and versatile. And it excused expectations. The knife is not perfect in the cosmetics area but it is high end in the durability and functionality department.
