Victorinox Swiss Army Compact Knife

The Compact Swiss Army Knife is a small and lightweight tool that packs a remarkable 15 functions within its scales. With this versatile knife in your pocket, you'll be prepared for any of your everyday adventures. The unique combination tool, which doubles as a bottle opener, can opener, screwdriver, and wire stripper, is smaller in size compared to other 91mm knives, allowing for a very slim profile.

Additional features like the mini-screwdriver, which attaches to the corkscrew, and the ballpoint pen, offer extra functionality without adding bulk. It's truly remarkable to find a tool this size that houses so much functionality.

As with all Swiss Army Knives, the Compact comes with a lifetime warranty, stainless steel implements, and the renowned Swiss-made quality and durability. The 15 functions include a large blade, the combination tool, corkscrew, scissors, a multi-purpose hook with a nail file, key ring, tweezers, toothpick, and a pressurized ballpoint pen, as well as a patented mini-screwdriver.

The rich history and heritage of Victorinox, the maker of Swiss Army Knives, date back to 1884 when Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. In 1891, Elsener supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier's Knife, and in 1897, the Officer's Knife. After the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent of stainless steel, Elsener changed the company's name to Victorinox in 1921.

Today, Victorinox remains owned and operated by the Elsener family, still residing in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland, where the company was founded.

To maintain the optimal performance of your Swiss Army Knife, it's essential to follow proper care tips. The tools are made from high-quality, tempered, and annealed steel, polished to achieve the necessary hardness and corrosion resistance. When sharpening, use a whetstone at a 15°– 20° angle to achieve a cutting edge of 30°– 40°. After use, open and close the blades in warm water to prevent sticking, and apply a drop of the recommended Swiss Army Knife Oil to the locking mechanism.

Swiss Army Knives are the epitome of utility and smart design, built to withstand the test of time. The Compact model is a true companion, compact and ready to face any adventure head-on. It's a trusted quality tool that makes a great gift for any occasion or a practical stocking stuffer for the holidays.
