Checklist For Swiss Army Knives

Brand
  • The Swiss Army Knife was developed by the Swiss Army at the end of the 19th century, which is why it is also called an army knife or an officer’s knife. Its special feature is that it contains other tools besides a knife blade .
  • The original Swiss Army Knives are manufactured by only one company, Victorinox in the canton of Schwyz. Until 2005, there was another brand from Switzerland, the Wenger company. It was bought out by Victorinox in 2005 and continued as an independent brand until 2013.
  • Since the principle of the multifunction pocket knife is not protected, there are now numerous imitations from other countries. These are not necessarily worse, but are just not original Swiss Army Knives.
Tools
  • The main difference between the various models of Swiss Army Knives is the number of tools.
  • The standard models have a small and a large blade, two screwdrivers as well as a corkscrew and an awl. A toothpick and tweezers are usually integrated into the handle scales.
  • The larger models have other tools such as scissors, saw, file and more. Since the tools are arranged side by side, models with more tools are not longer, but wider and heavier. In principle, an infinite number of tools can be accommodated, but the knife thus becomes increasingly unwieldy.
Color
  • The classic Swiss Army knife has red plastic shells. However, there are also models in other colors, such as black, in white or even with printed motifs, such as fan knives for soccer clubs.
Size
  • The Swiss Army Knife comes in different sizes . The standard size has a length of 9.1 cm and varies in width depending on the number of tools. Most variants are available in this size.
  • The mini variants have a length of 5.8 cm and an eyelet that allows them to be used as a keychain.
  • So-called ranger knives have a length of 13 cm. They are intended for outdoor use, such as for hunters or anglers.
