About Swiss Army Knives
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 gift! December 29, 2008
I purchased two of these knives for my sons. They are eleven and fourteen. Pocketknives were on their Christmas list. The price and reputation of Swiss greatly influenced my final decision. We live in rural Alabama and they can always find reasons to need their pocketknives. My eleven year old was especially impressed with all of the gadgets, including the tiny screwdriver which is perfect for adjusting his eyeglasses.
Just a reminder if you do purchase pocketknives for kids, they can not take them to school or school functions. Pocketknives are considered weapons and possession of them at school or school functions is a huge offense.
Don't purchase pocketknives for your kids unless you know they can be responsible owners.

Given as gifts to sons, both say they are excellent, better than the old ones they had years ago. But, there are way too many of these to choose from and no list of what is included. I had to find it on their website in order to type out list of what tools are in it. I gave it a three because of this reason and because it's very hard to pull the tools out, at least it is for me on the one I have.
Great gift for my boyscout December 26, 2008
My son just got this gift for Christmas. He is a boyscout. It came in handy all day -- opening boxes and battery compartments and getting through the annoying ties that secure every child's toy into it's box. He said that it is the most awesome gift ever -- which is big since he got toys and video games too. Now I want one for when we camp and hey, just to have in the kitchen!
Excellent, Purposeful Knife December 25, 2008
The Swiss knife lived up to all my expectations. Great product, sturdily constructed and a good fit for the case that I already owned from my last knife.
more than a tool December 24, 2008
This is very nice stuff. Multifunctional and good quality.
oh the shipping is fast too.
