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 forerunner of that name 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 or versatility.
Sports reviews of Victorinox Swiss Army Ranger Pocket Knife
Customer Review: A well thought out selection of tools on this model
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The Ranger is with one exception, the same exact knife model that has been sent up for 20 years on Space shuttle missions as NASA issue. That difference is it has a corkscrew, replacing the phillips screwdriver in the same location on the knife, all other things are the same. They called the model with the phillips "Master Craftsman" and is no longer made.
The Ranger will handle a lot of different tasks with its tool set. It is even equipped to saw through metal, and wood. A truly
versatile knife worthy of the MacGiver in you life, or yourself.
And a good balance between size/weight/abilities.Its alot in one small package.
Customer Review: My favorite knife!

I take this knife with me everywhere I go traveling. It's always in my suitcase or glove compartment. It is almost a companion. I've had cheaper multi-tool "swiss army" knives and each time they've broken or rusted. Nothing beats the real deal. Not only is this knife beautiful, but it is reliable, because it is genuine. And, of all of knives in the Victorinox line, this would perhaps be the best. It beats my old Boy Scout knife by a mile and cuts very well. I happened to get this when it was a "Gold Box" deal on Amazon and would have to say that I am very pleased with the price, delivery time and overall quality of what I received.Customer Review: A GREAT, USEFUL KNIFE

I'd never thought to much of Swiss Army Knives until I got one as a gift. I've owned Gerber utility knives and a SOG and this is much more useful for day to day usage, not to mention much more compact and easy to carry. The blades are all high quality stainless and hold their edge very well. The scissors work extremely well. Overall a great little utility that you can easily carry in your pocket, but be careful, I forgot I had mine as I was going through security at the airport and ended up losing it! AS soon as I got back home I immediately ordered another one! Love it and I highly recommend it to anyone.Customer Review: Great overall knife

I have had several Victorinox knives over the years and there quality always remains the same(superior). The ranger is a great overall knife, If you camp, hike, are in the military, or are into survival this this knife is a must,it has most everything you need in a mutipurpose knife. Blades are extreamly sharp right out of the box. They last for a super long time(The only reason I bought a new one is because I had lost the previous one that I had had for over 10 years). Multitools are great but are larger and kinda heavy, best worn on a belt. These are perfect to slip into pants or a jackets pockets.Customer Review: A great set of tools in one

I have always wanted a Swiss army knife because I used to watch MacGuyver on tv as a kid. Just looking at this marvel of a tool shows you that you could practically do anything with it. I have to say when I first opened the box and looked at this Swiss army knife,it looked to nice to even to use. This Swiss army knife also smells like a serious tool. Fresh out of the box this Swiss army knife reminds me of a freshly cleaned and oiled firearm. I love this Swiss army knife. This is a very high quality made tool. I am sure this Swiss army knife will come in handy many times in the future.
