Amazon.com From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army knife a century ago comes the Swiss Army Signature pocketknife, a compact multi-tool for around-the-house or on-the-go use. Measuring 2.25 inches long, the Signature is stylishly cased in a classic red housing with the familiar Victorinox logo on the side. More importantly, the Signature contains several handy mini-tools, including a small blade, a nail file with a screwdriver tip, a retractable pen, scissors, tweezers, and a key ring for easy transport. As with all Victorinox items, the Signature is made to exacting standards, with dozens of steps going into its construction. Victorinox attends to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. The Signature weighs 0.8 ounces and carries a lifetime warranty. Signature Tools Small blade Nail file with screwdriver tip Scissors Retractable pen Tweezers Key ring About Victorinox 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 original product 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 for versatility.
