When our founder Karl Elsener opened his cutlery workshop in Ibach, Switzerland, in 1884, he could not have imagined that the Swiss Army Knife he would shortly create would become a global icon of preparedness, not only entering everyday life, but even reaching into space.
To live up to our history as the creators of the Original Swiss Army Knife, we have been making products designed with care and precision for over 140 years.
Today Victorinox is an international company with five product categories: Swiss Army Knives, Household and Professional Knives, Watches, Luggage and Perfumes. These are the most important milestones in the history of our company.
