victorinox history
Karl Elsener opened a cutlery workshop to deliver a soldier knife to the Swiss army in 1884.He was looking for a compact and sturdy knife, which offered many functions combined in a single tool. What he invented has long become a legend: the Original Swiss Army Knife. Till this day the swiss army, although neutral still use the swiss army knife.
In 1909, the founder, after the death for his mother Karl Elsener decided to pay tribute to his mother, and chose to name his company Victoria.Stainless steel is invented (also known as ‘inox’ for short). By combining inox with Victoria, the new brand Victorinox is created.
In 2005, Victorinox took Wenger 's operation over and now Victorninox is the largest company manufacturing pocket knives Over the years, both customer needs and technology have changed.
