The history and heritage of the Swiss Army Knife can be traced back to 1884, when Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers' union he formed produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier's Knife, and in 1897, with the Officer's Knife.

In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent of stainless steel, then known as "inoxydable," used in the production of his cutlery, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from these humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born.

Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still reside in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Swiss Army Knife, proper care and maintenance are essential. The various tools are manufactured from high-quality steel, tempered, annealed, and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and corrosion resistance.

When sharpening the knife, use a whetstone at an angle of 15°– 20°, resulting in a cutting angle of 30°– 40°. If using a grinding wheel, always cool the blade with plenty of water to avoid excessive temperatures and potential damage.

To keep the blades moving freely, open and close them in warm water several times. Once dried, apply a small drop of oil between the blade or tool shank and the spring. Periodically, use the recommended Swiss Army Knife Oil to maintain the locking mechanism. Avoid putting your Swiss Army Knife in the dishwasher.

With its compact, agile, and durable construction, the Spartan Swiss Army Knife is a cut above the rest, ready to face any adventure head-on. A trusted companion for over a century, it continues to be an icon of utility and smart design, making it the perfect gift for any occasion or a must-have stocking stuffer for the holidays.
