Do you know the story behind our brand? It all started in 1884 when Karl Elsener started his own enterprise with a small workshop in Ibach/Switzerland, offering all sorts of repair work for tools and also producing knives. From the very start he had a vision, a big dream, to become the supplier of knives for the Swiss soldiers. Our customers are an integral part of the legacy behind the iconic knife. Thirty-three years ago, Paul Auf der Maur found himself stranded midway between Tuktoyaktuk and Dawson City when his car broke down. This episode on the road from Tuktoyaktuk, along with a subsequent California sojourn with a new friend, exemplifies the enduring impact of the iconic knife. For the full story, check out the article in The New York Times. Do you have a Swiss Army Knife™ story you’d like to share with us?

If only God had a Victorinox knife, there is a high probability that he would have created a much better world.
