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 little pocket knife,

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Classic Translucent Pocket Knife (Misc.)
Got this knife for my daughter who is always needing a pair of scissors or tweezers and she loves mine. The plus side of this knife is it glows so it's easy to find in the bottom of your purse or if you should drop it on the ground. Very handy!

Great product,

I have always carried one of these small swiss army knives in my purse. The nail file, knife, and scissors are always coming in handy and the tweezers are really great for splinters and the occasional stray hair. I bought this one for my daughter as it glows in the dark and she tends to misplace things or have a hard time finding things in her purse. This one is absolutely perfect for her!!!! She loves her knife as much as I love mine. It is a wonderful product that lives up to the Swiss Army reputation. I highly reccomend this little gem for any woman to carry on her key chain!

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Classic Translucent Pocket Knife (Sports)
I've been using one of these for years & I bought this one for my teenaged daughter.The scissors are the key component to this item.Ever have little strings hanging from your clothes? Ever have a plastic or foil bag that you can't open without spilling its contents all over the place?I actually accidentally cut myself once on the knife - be careful!The nail file, tooth pick & tweezers bring this item to the top of my MUST HAVE list!
