The Legacy of Victorinox
The story of Victorinox began in 1884 when Karl Elsener opened his cutlery workshop in Ibach-Schwyz, Switzerland. In 1891, he supplied the Swiss Army with its first soldier’s knife, setting the foundation for what would become a world-renowned brand. The name "Victorinox" is a portmanteau of "Victoria," the name of Karl Elsener’s mother, and "Inox," the international term for stainless steel. This combination signifies the brand’s commitment to family heritage and the highest quality materials.
