About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.

Safe Knife with the lockblade - Reviewed on 2008-11-17
* * * * *

This knife I bought for my husband. We both use it when camping or hiking. The lockblade makes it much safer to cut things with. It is too big to carry in my purse all the time. It adds too much weight to my purse. I bought a pouch and my husband wears it. I believe Victorinox makes the best knives there are, at least for us.
Best pocket knife I have owned.... - Reviewed on 2008-11-16

This is by far the best knife I have used.....I carry it every day.
I cannot overstate the utility of opening the blade with one hand. Highly recommended.

This knife works great. Has good safety features. The saw is great for those smaller branches and the main knife cuts great. We are pleased with this purchase.
comes short of Swiss Army - Reviewed on 2008-11-03
* * * *

first thing i noticed after buying this that it's a lefty lock design, which means that the liner lock on the main blade has to be pulled towards rather than away as in most other knives, which i thought was strange. my only other hit on this knife was that it doesn't have any kind of scissors, which one expects with Swiss Army. other than that, it's an alright knife for the outdoors, although it has only been on one campout with me.
