Victorinox products draw upon a century of tradition and experience.
Their story began in 1885 when Karl and Victoria Elsener founded the company. In 1987 the "Officer Knife" which later became known as the "Swiss Army Knife" was patented.
Our pocket -tools have demonstrated their exceptional usefulness on countless expeditions, on NASA Space Shuttle flights and on everyday practical use around the world.
In recognition of the elegance of its design, the New York Museum of Modern Art and the State Museum of Applied Arts in Munich have included the VICTORINOX "Officer knife" in their "Good Design" collection. A VICTORINOX multi-purpose pocket-tool is as much an indespensable and useful companion as any wrist watch, "A friend, not just a knife" as a journalist once wrote.
