Victorinox is a traditional Swiss company with a long history in knife production. The company was founded in 1884 by Karl Elsener in Ibach-Schwyz and has since developed into a world-renowned manufacturer of knives and tools. Initially, the manufacturer's name was "Victoria", but around 1920, with the development of stainless (INOX) steels, the new company name Victorinox was formed, which is still used today. The company's best-known product is the original Swiss Army Knife, also known as the Swiss Army Knife. The history of Victorinox began with the supply of soldier's knives to the Swiss Army in the late 19th century. These knives were not only to serve as eating utensils, but also as tools for servicing rifles. When most other cutlers gave up due to cheaper production in Solingen, Karl Elsener was the only one left and saved his company from bankruptcy through probate. He later developed the officer's and sports knife, which marked the international breakthrough for his company.  

Victorinox, a leading manufacturer of Swiss knives, took over its competitor Wenger from Delsberg in 2005, which was struggling economically at the time. Through this takeover, Victorinox was able to prevent Wenger from being bought out by foreign investors, which would have resulted in possible damage to its reputation. Two years earlier, Victorinox had bought Wenger North America and Swiss Army Fragrance, Inc., which had been producing fragrances under the Swiss Army name since 1996.  

After the takeover, Wenger remained an independent brand within the Victorinox Group until the beginning of 2013 and continued to produce its own Swiss knives. These differed in construction and design from Victorinox products. The two brands together produced over 25 million knives annually. Some of the Wenger models are still produced today under the Victorinox brand name.  With the acquisition of Wenger, Victorinox was able to expand its range of Swiss knives and further strengthen its position as a leading manufacturer in this field. At the same time, the company was able to prevent an important brand from being bought up and possibly damaged by foreign investors. Today, Victorinox is known worldwide for its high-quality Swiss knives and has established itself as one of the leading suppliers in this market. 

Today, Victorinox is known for its high-quality and versatile pocket knives that are suitable for numerous applications. The company offers a wide range of products, from classic pocket knives to professional tools for outdoor or military use. The knives are made of high-quality materials and are characterised by their durability, reliability and functionality.  

In addition to its pocket knives, Victorinox also offers a wide range of other products, including household and kitchen knives, watches, luggage and clothing. The brand stands for quality, Swiss craftsmanship and innovative spirit and is known worldwide for its outstanding products. Whether in everyday life, when travelling or on an outdoor adventure - with a Victorinox knife you are well equipped and can rely on its functionality and quality.
