Victorinox

The origins of Victorinox date back to 1884, when Karl Elsener opened a knifemaking workshop in central Switzerland. In 1891, he delivered his first soldier’s knife to the Swiss Army. Six years later, he created the Swiss Officer’s and Sports Knife, today known as the original Swiss Army Knife™, which laid the foundation for a global company shaped by preparedness and Swiss craftsmanship.

Victorinox is now a fourth-generation family business operating in more than 120 countries worldwide. In addition to its iconic pocket knives, the company develops premium cutlery, watches and travel gear. Across all categories, Victorinox products are designed to support everyday life and help people feel best prepared for daily challenges.

Living up to its legacy as the Maker of the Original Swiss Army Knife™, Victorinox has made it its mission to best prepare people through smart and masterful solutions. Products are carefully thought out, simply serve their purpose and meet the highest standards of quality, reliability and durability.

The enterprising spirit of the founder and a strong commitment to values-based corporate governance continue to guide the company today. Rooted in authenticity, responsibility and Swiss mastery, Victorinox remains focused on long-lasting solutions that people can rely on.

Because we truly believe:
Being prepared makes life better.
