About Victorinox
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.

Must have on me at all times.,

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Signature Pocket Knife (Sports)
I have bought over 20 of these knives. I trim my nails, open packages, write notes, tighten screws, and strip wire (great for stripping wire). You can buy replacement toothpicks and pens. I put toothpicks in place of the twizzers. I have never used the twizzers in 30 years. I can use the toothpick a couple times a day. I would love to see a thinner version with an LED, toothpick and pen.Airport security keeps taking my knives. Remember to remove the pen and toothpick if they do take it. The pen just pulls out. This is the best most used tool I have ever owned.

Love this product,
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Signature Pocket Knife (Sports)
This knife is just what I was looking for. I had a similar model several years ago, but misplaced it. I was pleased to learn that the new model included a ball point pen. How cool is that? I use this knife daily and the pen has come in handy numerous times. Well worth the price.
