Victorinox SwissChamp 33-Function Swiss Army Pocket Knife

Victorinox is a global family-run company now being managed by a member of the family's fourth generation. The company's headquarters are located in Ibach, canton of Schwyz, at the heart of Switzerland, where the legendary "Original Swiss Army Knife" was invented. Victorinox is an authentic Swiss brand with a strong history and heritage. The Swiss place great value on practicality, taking pride in innovation, quality, and expertise.

Victorinox products are uniquely robust, durable, and precisely manufactured in Switzerland with high-quality materials to meet premium standards without compromise. The company makes products the way they would like to have them themselves, in outstanding Swiss quality with solution-oriented functionality. This includes Swiss Army knives, kitchen knives, travel gear, and watches.

The various tools of a Swiss Army Knife are manufactured from high-quality steel with precisely tuned features essential for their particular applications. The steel is tempered, annealed, and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum corrosion resistance. Swiss Army Knives require easy but particular care.

Sharpening should be done using a whetstone at a 15°– 20° angle, resulting in a 30°– 40° cutting angle. When cleaning, open and close the blades in warm water several times, then apply a small drop of oil between the blade, tool shank, and the spring or locking mechanism. Swiss Army Knives should never be put in the dishwasher.

The Swiss Champ pocket knife is the ultimate Swiss Army Knife, packing 33 functions and countless possibilities. It includes tools like pliers, scissors, and a magnifying glass, making it the ideal companion for indoor and outdoor tasks, from stripping wire to scaling fish or sawing metal.

Victorinox's four cornerstones are quality, functionality, innovation, and iconic design. The Swiss Army Knife is the ultimate multi-tool, with features to handle a wide range of needs. Innovation has been a tradition since the first Swiss Army Knife was patented in 1897, as Victorinox continues to find new ways to improve their knives and meet evolving customer requirements.

The iconic design of the Swiss Army Knife was developed by Karl Elsener, the owner of Victorinox, who invented a special spring mechanism allowing him to attach tools on both sides of the handle using the same spring. This innovative approach doubled the number of features that could be included. The Swiss Army Knife remains the most recognizable icon of utility and smart design, still made exclusively in only two factories in Switzerland.
