Featuring ergonomic two-component handles that provide superior grip, these knives boast a one-handed blade opening mechanism, allowing users to quickly and securely lock the blade in place during use.

Durable enough to withstand a lifetime of heavy-duty tasks, the RangerGrip knives are backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring reliable performance for years to come. Equipped with a can opener, Phillips screwdriver, and a 4.2-inch wood saw, these multipurpose tools are always ready to tackle the right job, just like the classic Swiss Army Knives that have become a global icon.

Victorinox's legacy dates back to 1884 when Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland, crafting the finest steel cutlery. In 1891, he supplied the Swiss Army with its standard-issue Soldier's Knife, followed by the Officer's Knife in 1897. After his mother Victoria's passing in 1921 and the advent of stainless steel, known as "inoxydable," Elsener renamed the company Victorinox, solidifying its place as a worldwide symbol of quality and durability.

Today, Victorinox remains family-owned and operated, with the company and the Elsener family still residing in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland. The Swiss Army Knives' various tools are manufactured from high-quality, precisely tempered and polished steel, providing the necessary hardness and resistance to corrosion.

To maintain the optimal performance of your Swiss Army Knife, it's recommended to sharpen the blades using a whetstone at a 15°–20° angle, resulting in a 30°–40° cutting edge. Regular cleaning and oiling of the mechanisms will ensure smooth operation and long-lasting functionality. It's important to never put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher, as this can damage the tools.

The RangerGrip series embodies the core values that have made Victorinox a trusted name in the industry – compact, agile, and ready to face any adventure head-on. With their durable stainless steel construction, slimmer profiles, and a lifetime guarantee, these Swiss-made pocket knives are the ultimate multitaskers, delivering reliable performance in any situation, from everyday tasks to survival scenarios. Victorinox's commitment to quality and innovation ensures that the RangerGrip series continues the legacy of the iconic Swiss Army Knife, providing users with a versatile, dependable tool that is truly a cut above the rest.
