Karl Elsener, a Swiss, was the first person to make Swiss army knives in 1891. At that time, Swiss army knives had wooden handles (mostly made of plastic and metal today) and only two tools, namely screwdriver and can opener. In 1897, Karl Elsener invented a new spring, and the Swiss army knife began to fit more tools. In the 189s, the Swiss military began to use Swiss-made knives. In the past, they all used German-made knives. Swiss Army Knife In 199, Karl Elsener began to carve a white cross shield on the red handle of the Swiss Army Knife as a trademark, and named this product after Victoria, his mother, and founded Victorinox. In the 194s, American troops stationed in Europe loved this multifunctional knife, but because they couldn't pronounce German Offiziermesser (German originally meant "officer's knife"), they called it Swiss Army Knife. By 213, Victorinox was still supplying the Swiss military with this knife. Another company that supplies Swiss army knives is Wenger. In addition to these two companies, there are many manufacturers that produce similar multi-purpose tool knives. But generally only the products of Victorinox and Wenger are considered as authentic Swiss army knives. In 25, Vickers merged with Vigo. The Development of Swiss Army Knives Today, there are quite a variety of Swiss Army Knives, and there are many innovative combinations of tools, such as the newly added LCD clock display, LED flashlight, USB memory disk for computers, lighters and even MP3 players. Nowadays, the Swiss army still distributes Swiss army knives! In February 28, the Swiss Armament Bureau evaluated the new sabers provided by seven domestic and foreign manufacturers, including Vickers. In July, after analyzing the quality and technical performance of the saber, the relevant departments thought that the saber produced by Vickers had the best cost performance. Charles elson, the fourth son of Hatter Balthasha elson Ott, the editor and founder of the history of development, made up his mind to be a tool worker. After living as a worker in TUTTLINGEN (place name) in southern Germany for several years, he returned to his hometown at the age of 24, and in 1884, he opened his own tool factory in IBACH Town (place name, Yixi Town) in SCHWYZ, Switzerland. At that time, there was hardly any industry in SCHWYZ area, so many young farmers were forced to emigrate to North America, Australia or New Zealand. In order to create new employment opportunities, Karl elson initiated and founded the Swiss Knife Master Association in 1891. Its main purpose was to unite all Swiss knife makers to make soldiers' knives that the Swiss army had to buy from SOLINGEN (place name) in Germany at that time. In October, 1891, the association produced the first army saber for the Swiss army. After that, Karl elson began to make other pocket knives with exquisite designs. He used names such as student knives, officer knives and farmer knives to distinguish them instead of numbers. Soldiers' knives are bulky and heavy, so Karl elson made a lighter and more beautiful knife especially for officers. This knife not only has all the blades, awls, can screwdrivers and screwdrivers on soldiers' knives, but also has a small blade and a corkscrew. This new model with six blades on two springs is called "officer's knife" by Karl. This design was officially registered on June 12, 1897. ? 4 Milestone Editor 1884: On January 1, 1884, Mr. Karl elson, the founder of Vickers, opened his tool workshop in Ibach, Schwyz, Switzerland. 1891: Mr. Karl elson began to set up the Swiss Knife Master Association.

It has been used for more than 12 years. From 1921 to 1921, the technology of producing stainless steel became more and more mature. Vickers began to use this new material to produce knives, and added French Inoxydable (meaning rustless) to the company's trademark, which was later abbreviated as Inoxyd, and finally spelled with the company's name as VICTORINOX. 1931: In 1931, a side building was built next to the forging workshop as the first fully electrified steel hardening workshop in the world at that time. 1945: From 1945 to 1949, a large number of army knives were sold to the US Army, Navy and Air Force through the stores of the US Military Academy, and Swiss army knives became famous all over the world.
