Victorinox is the brand most associated with classic and iconic folding tools thanks to its craftsmanship, quality, and the instantly recognisable cross and shield logo.
It began life back in 1884, in the district of Ibach-Schwyz, where Karl Elsener opened a workshop. His pioneering concept of combining a short knife blade with a series of foldable tools was hugely popular, giving birth to the Swiss army knife as we know it.
