The Swiss:We love them for their decadentcheese, their masterfultimepieces, and their awesomecorporate tax loopholes. The SwissArmy Knife is a modernmarvel that was made out of necessity(the first modelsincluded only a blade,a can openerand reamerfor consumingcanned food, and a screwdriver neededto assemblethe SwissArmy's rifles), but its stayingpower proves its unbeatableutility. Every U.S. Presidentsince Lyndon B. Johnsonhas issuedtheir guestsan original Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. Why? We haveno clue. But hereare l0 otherthings you didn't know aboutthe SwissArmy Knife: l. They were born in Germanv. not Switzerland. The first SwissArmy knives were actuallyproduced in Germanyby Wester& Co. The Swissmilitary force requiredquality compactknives for its army, but no Swisscompany had the capacityto producesuch a knife. The first official Swiss Army Knife, the Modell 1890,was outsourcedto Wester& Co. and producedin Solingen,Germany, over 300 milesfiom the Swissborder. 2. But thev didn't stav there lons. Miffed about the whole "Made in Germany" thing, Victorinox founder Karl Elsener,who at the time was in the surgicalequipment production business, decided in 1891that it was time to bring the Swiss Army Knife - and the productionjobs it entailed- to Switzerland. Fun Fact: Elsenergot the name "Victorinox" by combining the name of his deceasedmother, Victoria, and acier inoxydable,the Frenchterm for stainlesssteel. 3. There were actually two official Swiss Army Knives. In order to provide a level of competitionand ensurethe qualityof goods and goals of production,the Swiss governmentawarded 50 percentof their order contractto Victorinox, and 50 percentto another Swisscutlery company,Wenger. Victorinox advertisedtheir knives as "Tlr1eOriginal Swiss Army Knife," and Wenger "The GenuineSwiss Army Knife." That is, until Victorinox acquired Wenger in 2005, retaining sole conffol over the Swiss Army Knife market, and kicking Theodore Wenger'sghost in the balls. 4. The Swiss Army Knife is a literal work of art. The SwissArmy Knife hasbeen selected for inclusionin exhibitsfor excellence \5 in designatboth iltt \trtt \"trtli\ltt:.e trll qri 1,.,,1 r,r'tandthe r||ii1'1i.\il rir\irrriir. ir.

Oualitv control at the Victorinox factories is a bis deal. Fifteento 20 million partspass through the assemblyline at the Victo- rinox factory every month. Eachand every knife, product,and tool undergoesa rigorousquality inspectionat all ofthe sevenphases of production. Every inch of raw steel is inspected,as well as the contentof the metal digitally analyzedfor tensilestrength. The bladesare cut, polished,forged and then ground down and sharpened,and then stamped-where again,they are inspectedby real eyes and real handsand real micrometersafter every single stepof production.Perfectionism is an understatement. 9. Todav. vou can buy everythins from Swiss Armv forks to Swiss Armv perfume... kinda. Victorinox dabblesin otherSwiss- made productslike householdcutlery, watches,general tools, and even cosmetics,Pell1r1rl.::, and clothing.

Luckily, spottingthe differencebetween a real-dealSwiss Army Knife and a fake is simple. The trick is in the spring mechanism and the telltale SwissArmy Knife "snap" of the tools.

    Knife, Combat, Utility The next military issue survival knife Standard Issue since World War II Most are familiar with the Air Force & Navy aircrew survival knife with 5 inch fixed blade from Camillus is now manufactured in accordance with U.S. Government specifications by the Ontario Knife Company. In addition, jet pilots and select crew members with ejection capability were issued the MC1 or M724 automatic rescue knife with 3 inch clip point blade and parachute shroud cutter. This knife was issued from 1957 until 1993. In lieu of the MC1, helicopter pilots and crew are issued the Camillus Model 1760 folding pocket knife with their survival vest. This stainless steel knife is equipped with 2.75 inch blade, can opener, cap opener, screw driver, and awl/punch. This folding knife is also standard issue with ground combat elements and has been around since 1945. It has been affectionately known by troops as the Demo Knife. Official Issue Swiss Army Knife The Swiss issued model 1961, a similar knife to the demo is named the Soldier by Victorinox and Standard Issue by Wenger. In 2003, Victorinox released a 111mm series of knifes known as the Trailmaster based on the German Army Knife. Not to be confused with Cold Steel’s Trail Master Bowie Knife, Victorinox renamed this knife Trekker. Offered with a one-handed open blade, the Trekker became very popular in the United States. In 2008 the Trailmaster/Trekker knife was officially adopted by the Swiss Government to replace the Soldier model 1961. The new Soldier features a one-handed serrated locking blade, Philips screwdriver, can opener, small screw driver, bottle opener, large locking screwdriver, wire striper, reamer, wood saw and key ring.

    GEAR KNIVES Opinel Number 8 Opinel is famous for making wooden-handled 5 4 camping knives. This model retains the classic shape but features two major changes: a plastic handle and a section of serrated blade that’s great for cutting rope. Of all the knives tested, this one felt most like Look sharp! a kitchen knife. I actually prepared supper with it at home one evening. The blade features a Virobloc double-lock system, but I still found it a bit wobbly WORDS NICK DALL Everyone loves a good pocket knife. so I wouldn’t use it for anything too hectic.

Victorinox New Soldier’s Knife Victorinox has supplied the Swiss Army with knives 5 5 5 for more than a century. This is their current military- RATING /5 issue product. It’s a good-looking unit and it’s lovely to hold. The main blade opens easily and is lockable, KNIVES TOMATO and most of its length is gently serrated, which BILTONG makes slicing biltong a breeze. A knife is a great thing. All of these knives are defined by their blades. It’s got a nice long saw, but this isn’t lockable. The CAN OPENER Some have other gizmos, but their calling in life is to cut stuff. Phillips screwdriver is fantastic, but why it’s in the middle of the knife is anyone’s guess. Just try getting to a corner screw! There aren’t as many tools as there are on the other Victorinox, but the blades are better and are made of thicker, stronger steel.
