About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.

Great small pocket knife.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Money Clip (Sports)
I used to lose pocket knives regularly because they would slip out of my pocket. I bought this knife because it is very compact and slim but has a useable length blade. Additionally, it has the exact tools I use regularly -- scissors and a nail file. I do not use the clip for money but instead use it to attach the knife to the watch pocket in denim jeans or a regular pocket in other pants. I have NEVER lost it and I have come to Amazon to purchase another one for an extra so I don't have to switch the knife around so much when I change into different pants. I have other knives with more tools but this is the knife I carry at ALL times.

Swiss Army Money Clip,

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Money Clip (Sports)
This is my second one, having lost my first one after 10 years of use. These are indispensable little tools that offer the benefit of also securly holding my currency. The scissors, nail file and knife are all very handy and I use them all regularly. I can't understand why anyone who uses a money clip would not love one of these.

The Swiss Army knife of money clips!,
By
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Money Clip (Sports)
What's not to like? Nice looking money clip meets Swiss Army knife! The scissors are one of the most useful items I have ever carried around. The knife blade is sharp and sturdy and it has a fingernail file that actually works! I lost one and could not wait to get another one. One word of caution: Don't forget it's in your pocket when you head to the airport for a flight. Scissors, knife blade and nail file all in one easy to confiscate package! You can't go wrong with this great clip.
