Victorinox is a knife manufacturer headquartered in the town of Ibach, Switzerland.
The flagship model of Victorinox, the SwissChamp, is in the New York Museum of Modern Art's Permanent Design Collection.
One of the ways that Victorinox has tried to adapt to the decreased usage of pocket knives in recent years is the introduction of other forms of multi-purpose gadgets such as the SwissCard which is designed to fit wherever a fat credit card would go.
The Victorinox SwissFlame and its cousin the CampFlame are both SwissArmyknives built around a butane lighter.
Victorinox warn that the lighter won't necessarily work properly at more than about 1500 metres above sea level (because the air mix isn't adjustable), and the piezo igniter won't work if it gets wet.
This is a VictorinoxSwissArmyknife, not a Wenger one - see the last review for more on the difference - so it's generally a bit better made, but has lousier scissors.
The exciting idea and the actual recipe for the success of VICTORINOX pocket knives lay in the multiple use of each spring: six blades on only two springs made it possible to produce the ArmyKnife in such a light and elegant form.
To resharpen the blades, VICTORINOX recommends using a honing stone, as the alloy from which the blades are manufactured is too hard for a honing steel.
The VICTORINOX tin-opener, which was patented in 1951, is unrivalled by any other pocket knife tin-opener when it comes to quality.
Victorinox Classic SD Edelweiss A special edition of the popular Classic SD, this flower found in the alpine regions of central and southeast Europe, the Edelweiss, is sure to be a collectors treasure.
Victorinox luggage uses the same innovation that has been with the company since the Original SwissArmyKnife.
