In 1884, Karl Elsener started his cutlery factory in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland, where he pioneered the creation of a "Soldier's" pocket knife for the Swiss Army. In 1897, he created a lighter, more elegant "Officer's Knife" that would later, in remembrance of his mother Victoria, become known around the world as the Victorinox Original Swiss Army Knife. Today, this ingenious, award-winning multi-tool remains an icon or precision, quality, functionality, versatility and outstanding value.
