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: army knive
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
beautiful and useful, no non-sence gadgets on this knife. Prefer the elegant silver look of the polished aluminium above the red and black versions. Had one before - had it for some twenty odd years - but lost it. So I bought a new one. Pitty Victorinox has stopped producing the 'Soldier Pocket Knife', but a lot of stores in the USA do still have them.Customer Review: Feels good in the hand
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I carry this knife every day. Its aluminum handle feels good in my hand. The main blade takes a razor sharp edge and holds it. The grid design on the handle seems to keep it from getting scratched in my pocket. For some reason this feels a bit more solid than the other knife I carry (a MiniChamp on the keyring), and not just because it's bigger.Customer Review: One Tough Soldier
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Heavier duty than the average SAK (swiss army knife) - the Soldier is an excellent every day carry tool. The Alox (aluminum) handles are very rugged, and the tools are slightly thicker than the regular swiss army knife models. This is the knife that is issued to Swiss soldiers. If you only get one SAK, this should be the one.Customer Review: Close to perfect
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a great little pocket knife. I collect knives, have maybe 100 quality pocket knives, and I choose to carry this one frequently. Victorinox makes some of the highest quality knives at such a low price point it's simply amazing. This particular model has a classic look that just won't ever get old. Highly recommended.Customer Review: Just the right thing to get you out of a pintch
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
A reliable tool to get you out a tough spot. I'm on my second knife of this model. The first lasted 12 years, i believe this knife will be with me just as long. Not too heavy and not to thick, an easy carry. All though others have more options, this has been the greatest all around beneficial knife for me.
