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 Soldier Pocket Knife (Silver Alox)
Customer Review: Great all around pocket knife
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have had this knife for about 2 years. I work in the IT field and I required a knife that I can use to open computer boxes up quickly and not worry about it getting dull and useless. I find it very useful because of it's durability and the texture of the handle. I have dropped the knife and used it as a dart and even used it to cut the metal binding straps. (ones that server components get shipped in.
I highly recommend this product due to the fact it's less than $20 and one tough device...
Customer Review: Awesome Blade
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I love this knife. As a infantry instructor I see my students come through with all sorts of different pocket knives. Most cost between $30-$100 dollars and are no better than my Victorinox Soldier. I have been carrying one for years and found it to have everything I ever need without the high expense. This knife is more rugged than any of the other swiss army knives I've used and has a heavier blade. I don't go anywhere without it. Buy two in case you lose one. You won't regret carrying this knife.Customer Review: Definitely milspec

I bought this knife after learning it is being discontinued by the manufacturer and will no longer be the Swiss Army official issue pocketknife. I read the previous reviews; and I was convinced. I have owned several of the plastic handled officer's versions; I am more impressed by the heftier tools and blade of the soldier, the much more durable handles, and the fact that this is/was the issue knife! I have now bought a few of these, to insure I don't run out of this fine knife.Customer Review: Best knife ever made
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a perfect knife. It is small and very practical, the combination of the blades is very good (blade, screw driver, can opener, and hole maker-carving tool). The size is perfect I have an old champion but is too large and you almost never use any of the tools but the knife and the screw driver. I like this one better is the perfect pocket knife. Plus the silver aluminum is far better than the traditional red plastic and it won't get scratch that easily.Customer Review: The Essentials
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is the definitive basic pocketknife. It's slim and carries the the necessary tools and ONLY the necessary tools. These are: a large (and sharp!) blade, a can opener (with a small screwdriver tip), a bottle opener (with a wide screwdriver tip) and an awl. The durable checkered silver sides offer a secure grip. The knife, while not small, fits comfortably in a pocket or a purse, ready to trim an errant thread or open a non-twistoff beer bottle.
