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 original product 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 for versatility.
Sports reviews of Victorinox Swiss Army Classic Pocket Knife
Customer Review: Everything I Wanted Only It Was Late
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I got everything i wanted except it was late, but the owner said it was for personnel reasons. Also he gave me extra tweezers. It was a little smaller than I thought it would be. Overall I would give it 5 stars, only it was late so i'm giving it 4 stars. I suggest you try to get it from swissarmyknifepro he is the person who I got it from.Customer Review: Redefines the word "handy"
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
What a versatile little bugger always there when I need to rip open packages or snip the skin off my tiny cuts. I have been allowed to carry it multiple times through airport security, though I was asked to leave it outside a courthouse once. The knife and the scissors are totally worth it and the material is durable.Customer Review: A design flaw you may want to consider...
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I've been carrying this handy little knife around with me on my key chain for the last year or so and I have one big complaint I would like others to be aware of before they look into purchasing this. Overall, the knife is -perfect- for everyday use, other than this concern...
This is the location of the lanyard loop, or the ring that you can affix to your key ring. This is located at the base of the blade and at the other side as the toothpick/tweezers. By this placement, whenever I use the knife, I have a ball of keys in my hand. Had the loop been placed at the other end, the keys would dangle off the end out of the way. So, I've found this a not-so-handy, pain in the rear to use. The same problem extents to the tweezers and toothpick. They are dangling off the end, just waiting for something to catch on them and let gravity do the rest. Had these been on the other end, next to the ring, this would be completely avoided. I must admit that maybe the knife opens the way it does for safety reasons, but I think I could manage.
So yeah, the knife is great, but the key ring loop is positioned in such a way that it makes using the knife a bit of an annoyance.
Customer Review: Like it, but it has an annoying design flaw
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I've been carrying one on my key ring for years. Unfortunately, this handy little knife has an inexplicable design error: the attachment ring is at the "wrong" end. When the blade is open, my key ring attachment is in the middle of the opened knife, rather than at the end. This is not a problem with the scissors because they open out from the other end. However, since I use the blade about 99% of the time and the scissors about 1% of the time, the awkward placement of the ring is annoying in normal use. The other problem with this placement of the attachment ring is that the toothpick and the tweezers are more likely to slip out and get lost because they are hanging on the "down" side (mine disappeared long ago). If you look at many of the other Swiss Army brand knives that have an attachment ring, the connection point is in the "correct" place for easy use of the main blade. I still wouldn't part with mine, but I'm not happy that the design fights with the use of the tool.Customer Review: Crummy knife
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
The blade is too short to be effective. You're more likely to hurt yourself than anything with the tendency to fold on itself. The scissor spring also sucks, broke the thing within a month. Tweezers is easy to lose and toothpick is just retarded. Get a bigger knife.
