History and Heritage
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers’ union he formed produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and in 1897 with the Officer’s Knife. In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent of stainless steel, then known as “inoxydable” and used in the production of his cutlery, 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.
Care Tips for Swiss Army Knives
The various tools are manufactured from high-quality steel with precisely tuned features that are essential for the particular application. 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
After you’ve used your Swiss Army Knife for all of its various applications, such as cutting open numerous boxes, you may notice that the blades begin to stick together. Opening and closing the blades in warm water several times will allow the tools to easily move again. Once they have dried, it is recommended, to apply a small drop of oil between the blade or tool shank and the spring. To optimally maintain the locking mechanism, periodically apply a drop of our recommended Swiss Army Knife Oil. Never put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher.
From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army knife a century ago comes the SwissTool Spirit folding multi-tool, a handy tool kit neatly contained within a folding body that measures just 4.13 inches long. The SwissTool Spirit is sheathed in a sleek stainless-steel body that stores comfortably in a leather belt pouch. More importantly, the SwissTool Spirit offers 27 functions, with such mini-tools as needle-nose pliers; 2mm, 3mm, and 6mm screwdrivers; a wire cutter; a bottle opener; a crate opener; a combi-edge blade; scissors; a metal file; a metal saw; a wood saw; a reamer; a Phillips screwdriver; a chisel/scraper; an isolation length cutter; a wire bender; a wire stripper; a wire scraper/round cutter; a can opener; a multipurpose hook; a coupling for a corkscrew; a hardwire cutter; 10 individual springs; and a lock release.
As with all Victorinox items, the SwissTool Spirit is made to exacting standards, with dozens of steps going into its construction. Victorinox attends to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. The SwissTool Spirit–which comes with a lanyard hole and a leather pouch–weighs 5.75 ounces and carries a lifetime warranty.
The SwissTool Spirit packs 27 functions into its compact stainless-steel body.

About Victorinox
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.

Great for Collectors This multi-tool (MT) shines above the rest for many reasons. However, I feel that this MT might be best suited for people that collect knives and MT’s. The Spirit has the best fit and finish that I have seen on a MT, but it does not mean that it is better than other MT’s at a lower price point. I would recommend this to anyone that has an eye for quality. If you don’t own a MT and are on a tight budget, then you might be better off with one that cost less. All MTs have an inherent problems,…
SOLID tool This is a very well made tool. Very nice construction, it has nice weight to it (Not too heavy, but decently heavy for its size which I like, shows quality in craftsmanship and materials) and a VERY solid feel. No loose parts wiggling around at all, even when tools and pliers are open. Everything clicks and locks into place VERY securely, I have had other Multi-Tools in the past from reputable brands and always found at least one part that isn’t as tight as I wanted it, but this thing leaves me…
All Hail! The *almost* Five star review For years I have looked. Gerber, Leatherman, SOG, somedudesrandombendofjunk…they have passed through my hands and been cast into the wilderness (no, literally–I’ve thrown most of them in frustration when they broke or failed when I needed them most!)After I lost my Victorinox Swiss Army Knife to a baggage inspector in Singapore (opps), it dawned on me that I should really look into a Victorinox multi-tool. But, life got in the way and combined with getting older and some random…
