"Swiss Army Knives"
(See also "Leatherman Tools")
Swiss Army Knives have an impeccable reputation for making very best in combination knifes and multi-tool sets on the market. Known for their ingenious design, these products have proven themselves time and again to be essential equipment to have on hand, especially during excursions into the wilds. In 1897, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. This was the beginning of Swiss Army Knives, all of which carry the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel.
All Victorinox items are made to exacting standards, with dozens of steps going into their construction. Victorinox pays attenti n to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. Also, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. So, when you leave home, make sure that you have made your selection from the vast array of Swiss Army Knives!
