History and Heritage
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in
Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers’ union he formed
produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous
proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home
cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard
issue Soldier’s and in 1897 with the Officer’s . In
1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the
advent of stainless steel, then known as “inoxydable" and used in
the production of his cutlery, Karl changed the name of the
company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a
worldwide icon was born.
Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener
family, and both the company and family still resides in the
small village of Ibach, Switzerland.
Care Tips for Swiss Army Knives
The various tools are manufactured from high-quality steel with
precisely tuned features that are essential for the particular
application. The steel is tempered, annealed and polished to
achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to
corrosion.
Sharpening
To re-sharpen your , use a whetstone at an angle of 15°–
20°. This will result in a cutting angle of 30°– 40°. If
sharpening on a grinding wheel, always cool with plenty of water
to avoid excessive temperatures and the resulting damages that
may occur.
Cleaning
After you’ve used your Swiss Army for all of its various
applications, such as cutting open numerous boxes, you may notice
that the blades begin to stick together. Opening and closing the
blades in warm water several times will allow the tools to easily
move again. Once they have dried, it is recommended, to apply a
small drop of oil between the blade or tool shank and the spring.
To optimally maintain the locking mechanism, periodically apply a
drop of our recommended Swiss Army Oil. Never put Swiss
Army Knives in the dishwasher.
