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 forerunner of that name 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 or versatility.

16 years ago,
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Champ Multitool Knife (Electronics)
I was given this knife 16 years ago by my mother for Christmas.Since then I have used this knife for everything. Every tool has been used as their intended application as well as anything else that can be imagined. I have carried it around in my pocket and some people ask how I can carry something like this around, its so big. But the all the times it has saved my butt far exceeds any flaw anyone can imagine. I love this knife. If this knife ever reaches the end of its life I will no doubt buy the same one again. I have a 3 year old son and can not wait till I can buy this for him. I will highly recommend this to anyone whether they think they need it or not. Once you have it you will find you need it.

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Champ Multitool Knife (Electronics)
I own several Swiss army knives, and this one is by far my favorite. It has almost every tool that Victorinox makes, yet is very pocket friendly. It it still usable even though it is so big. I love the fish scaler, I know most hate it, but it is very useful as a probe for getting into small, recessed places. If you use your imagination, this Multi tool has unlimited potential. I like it far more than my Leatherman, because each tool actually does the job it was made for plus a myriad of other uses. It is very wide, but not too wide. I use mine many times a day. Great buy, get one ASAP, and you won't regret it!

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Champ Multitool Knife (Electronics)
I'm very impressed with the high quality precision ground and polished tools in this knife. This is a very good general purpose Swiss army knife with everything you might need with the exception of a kitchen sink.
