Victorinox cover blade, 215 x 25 mm

The success of Victorinox pocket knives did not happen by chance, but thanks to a sophisticated technical solution that was ahead of its time. A key role was played by an ingenious spring system, in which several tools share a common support element. Six functions stored on two springs made it possible to create a lightweight, compact, and mechanically reliable knife that retained a slim profile and pleasant handling. This solution reduced weight, simplified construction, and increased durability in everyday use. Each tool has clearly defined resistance, smooth operation, and clear feedback in the hand, which will be appreciated not only by users in the field but also by technically minded enthusiasts.

Production has long been based on precise steel processing, hardness control, and consistent heat treatment, thanks to which the tools retain their sharpness and flexibility. A typical feature remains reliability without unnecessary complexity, a minimum of failure points, and a long service life even with frequent opening and closing. It is the combination of simple mechanics and clever arrangement of individual parts that has given rise to a pocket knife that can handle a wide range of tasks without compromising on ergonomics.

Over time, the brand has expanded its know-how into other areas. Today, the range includes not only Swiss Army knives, but also kitchen knives with an emphasis on sharpness, watches designed for everyday wear, functional travel equipment, as well as fashion accessories and perfumes. Everything is united by a consistent philosophy of practicality, durability, and technical purity.

The company's roots go back to the village of Ibach in the canton of Schwyz, where Karl Elsener opened his own knife workshop in 1884. A few years later, the original Swiss Army knife was created here, which became a symbol of smart design and reliability. Traditional manufacturing in the heart of Switzerland still forms the solid foundation of the brand and sends a clear signal that technical quality and practical use remain the top priorities.
