CARE TIPS FOR YOUR SWISS ARMY KNIFE
The steel is tempered, annealed and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion.
SHARPENING
To re-sharpen your knife, use a whetstone at an angle of 15°– 20°. This will result in a cutting angle of 30°– 40°. If sharpening on a grinding wheel, always cool with plenty of water to avoid excessive temperatures and the resulting damages that may occur.
CLEANING
If the blades of knife begin to stick together, open and close the blades in warm water several times – this will allow the tools to move easily again. Once dry, apply a drop of Swiss Army Knife Oil between each tool and its spring. Do not put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher.
HISTORY & HERITAGE
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and his cutlers’ union produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professionals and home cooks. Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and Officer’s Knife. After the death of his mother, and with the advent of stainless steel, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born. Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.

Can’t say enough about this model SAK, but I’ll try. This knife is available in the Wenger design and this Victorinox “hybrid” design. Victorinox bought Wenger some time back and now, both produce this model. The all-Wenger model has the brand name embedded at the bottom of the scales. BTW, those are not just stick-on grippy surfaces, they are recessed into the handles and the grip-tops are flush with the celador scales. The feel, in either direction, is just the berries. The ergonomics are simply awesome. At the moment, this…
Not Victorinox Quality Overall this is a nice knife, but it lacks the standard Victorinox quality. I bought this because of the locking blade, which is a useful feature and rare for the Swiss Army Knife. When I received the knife, I immediately realized that the wood cutting blade contacted the blade guard between itself and the scissors when closing. (This can be corrected by slightly pulling the blade to the correct side when closing, but why should I have to do that?) I returned/exchanged the knife assuming…
Good mix of tools. Scissors not ready for prime time. After three years of use, this knife works well for a lot of tasks but comes with some issues.The tools on the EvoGrip 18 are very similar to those found on the Fieldmaster, except the Fieldmaster’s secondary blade is replaced with a nail file. I don’t need a secondary knife blade, but in a pinch I might need to file a burr or something. The dedicated Phillips screwdriver is more useful to me than a corkscrew. This is an 85 millimeter knife, very slightly smaller than the…
