CARE TIPS FOR YOUR SWISS ARMY KNIFE 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 If the blades of knife begin to stick together, open and close the blades in warm water several times - this will allow the tools to move easily again. Once dry, apply a drop of Swiss Army Knife Oil between each tool and its spring. Do not put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher. HISTORY & HERITAGE In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and his cutlers’ union produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professionals and home cooks. Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and Officer’s Knife. After the death of his mother, and with the advent of stainless steel, 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.

With more than 50 mini-tools packed into its 3.5-inch frame, the SwissChamp XLT does everything from repairing household gear and fixing electronics to pitching in at the campsite to cleaning fish. The SwissChamp XLT is sheathed in a sleek translucent ruby housing with the familiar Victorinox logo on the side. Tools-wise, the unit features all the basics, such as large and small knife blades, a nail file with a nail cleaner, a metal file, a metal saw, a wood saw, scissors, a Phillips screwdriver, a cap lifter with a 6mm screwdriver and wire bender, a can opener with a 3mm screwdriver, a corkscrew, a reamer, tweezers, a mini screwdriver, a fine screwdriver, and a toothpick.


The SwissChamp XLT ups the ante, however, with such tools as a pharmaceutical spatula, a fish scaler with a hook disgorger and ruler, a pruning blade, an electrician's blade with a wire scraper, a chisel/scraper, pliers with a wire cutter and wire crimper, a multipurpose hook, a magnifying lens with 5x to 8x magnification capabilities, a pressurized ballpoint pen, a straight pin, a sewing eye, and a DIP switch setter.

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.
