 In 1884, in the small village of Ibach near the Swiss Alps, Karl Elsner started his cutlery factory. He became the official supplier of the Swiss army with the famous soldier's knife.
Later, he developed the now universally popular Officer and Sports knives, officially registered in 1897. In 1909, Karl Elsner named his company Victoria in memory of his mother, and when stainless steel (Inox) was invented in 1921, the family campany became Victorinox.
Today the company managed by Carl Elsner Sr. and his son Carl Elsner Jj, employs 1000 people and makes 25 million multi-tools per year, distributed in more than 100 countries. Whether in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City or accompanying Everest expeditions or NASA missions, Victorinox multi-tools are everywhere.
Produced in the Victorinox Swiss Army factories, their timepieces inherit the legendary quality, ingenuity and timeless design. Classic, yet distinctive styling, high performance features, and Swiss-made craftsmanship all add up to great value. |
