CARE TIPS FOR YOUR SWISS ARMY The steel is tempered,
annealed and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and
provide optimum resistance to corrosion. SHARPENING To re-sharpen
your , 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 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 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 and Officer’s .
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.

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 forerunner of that name dates to 1897,
when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports he
supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American
servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to
Swiss Army , which lives on in English-speaking countries
around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.
