Victorinox

Victorinox is a renowned Swiss brand that became famous worldwide primarily as a manufacturer of original Swiss army knives. This company is synonymous with quality, innovation, and multigenerational family tradition. The brand's products are valued by survival enthusiasts, tourists, and uniformed services.

Origin and beginnings of the brand

Victorinox was founded in 1884 in the town of Ibach, in the Swiss canton of Schwyz. The founder was Karl Elsener, who opened his knife manufacturing workshop there. He was supported in his activities by his mother Victoria, whose name became part of the company's name after her death in 1909. The second part of the name – "inox" – comes from the French term for stainless steel ("acier inoxydable"). The final name Victorinox has been in use since 1921.

Company development and its legacy

Initially, Victorinox focused on the production of folding knives, which quickly gained recognition for their high-quality steel and precision craftsmanship. As early as 1891, Elsener's enterprise began supplying its knives to the Swiss army, starting the legend of the Swiss army knife. This iconic product became a symbol of practicality and reliability and eventually became part of everyday use worldwide, even making it to outer space. Victorinox remains a family business, managed by successive generations of the Elsener family.
