Multi-Tool knives Victorinox

The history of the Swiss company Victorinox dates back to 1884, when the experienced knife maker and entrepreneur Karl Elsener opened a knife company in the town of Ibach (Schwyz) in central Switzerland. Thus the 125-year history of the now world-famous and respected Victorinox brand has started.

The basic feature of Victorinox products is a high degree of precision in terms of design, as well as great durability and, last but not least, originality and practicality.

A few of the many successes of the legendary Victorinox company:

• 1884 - Karl Elsener establishes a knife company.
•  1909 - To differentiate the products, the company logo used to this day is created - the cross and the outline of the shield. Karel Elsener's mother, Victoria, is dying. The company is named after her.
• 1921 -  Stainless steel is invented- inox. The now traditional name of the company is created by merging the names Victoria and inox - Victorinox.
• 1945 - For great success, members of all parts of the US armed forces are equipped with a "Swiss Officer's Knife", for simplicity called the Swiss Army Knife.
• 2009 - Victorinox employs over 1,700 people and generates sales of more than € 300 million.
