Victorinox Swiss Soldier’s Knife 08 – About The Brand Victorinox

Founded in 1884 by Karl Elsener, the brand emerged from a cutlery workshop in Ibach-Schwyz, Switzerland. Elsener’s pivotal moment came in 1891 when he supplied the first soldier’s knife to the Swiss Army—a versatile tool that would later be known as the “Original Swiss Army Knife.” In tribute to his late mother, Elsener named the brand “Victorinox” after her, combining “Victoria” with “inox,” the French word for stainless steel. The iconic Cross & Shield emblem became the brand’s trademark, symbolizing precision, durability, and Swiss craftsmanship. Over the years, Victorinox expanded its product range to include not only Swiss Army Knives but also Household and Professional Knives, Watches, Travel Gear, and Fragrances, making it a global leader in functional and reliable tools and accessories.
