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.

  great little blade June 28, 2008 Great little blade with the most essential features of the classic swiss army knife. fits well in the pocket and is very, very functional
  best combi of tools for a great price June 21, 2008 nothing beats the versatility of this model since it manage every common day tasks. the matt finish is great for grip
  The right tool set for me May 4, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Victorinox Climber is a superb tool to carry with you at all times. Scissors, corkscrew, awl, caplifter, and screwdrivers will get used every week, and at least one every day. Small enough to take every place (except the airport), and sturdy enough to rely upon.
Oh yeah, it has a knife blade that will work passably well for a pocketknife's two main functions: food preparation and opening mail (Big blade for making sandwiches, and a small blade so you don't scare the poor little hoplophobes when you open letters).
All this a price that encourages you to use it rather than protect it from use.

  great gift April 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
i like it and i bought a couple of them for my friends hope they like them too
  Great knife for the price April 26, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For the price, this is a great knife. The blade and tool selection is good. Some may think that the knife is borderline too heavy to carry everyday, but I think it is OK.
The biggest disappointment with this knife for me is that it does not have the finish that I am used to seeing on a Swiss Army knife. Instead of the smooth red plastic with the inlay Swiss Army insignia, this knife's case is a textured red plastic with a stamped insignia. In my opinion, it feels and looks cheaper that what I have come to expect from Victorinox.
Overall, the casing is of little concern to me. What's inside is most important, and this knife offers a lot for the money.
