When our founder Karl Elsener opened his cutler’s workshop in 1884 in Ibach, Switzerland, little did he know that the Swiss Army Knife he would soon create would become a global icon of preparedness, not only finding its way into everyday life but even into outer space. Living up to that legacy as Makers of the Original Swiss Army Knife, the brand has been making well-thought-out products with precision and care for more than 140 years. Today, Victorinox is a global company with five product categories: Swiss Army Knives, Household and Professional Knives, Watches, Travel Gear and Fragrances.
