About Victorinox Swiss Army Swisscard, Translucent Sapphire
Amazon.com A terrific gift for a man or a woman, this sleek credit-card-size tool and manicure kit comes from the renowned company that created the Swiss Army knife a century ago. This innovative adaptation of the outdoorsman's pocket knife, however, is designed for 21st-century urbanites. It slips into a wallet, purse, or personal organizer or fits unobtrusively in a vehicle glove compartment. The card contains nine stainless-steel tools that slide out of a sleek translucent-plastic holder. The tools include a letter opener, scissors, ballpoint pen, nail file, screwdriver, tweezers, plastic toothpick, needle, and ruler. The card measures just 3-1/4 inches long, 2-1/6 inches wide, and 1/5-inch thick. A fine example of Swiss engineering precision, the entire kit weighs less than 1 ounce. The card carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack Product Description History and Heritage - In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers' union he formed produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier's Knife and in 1897 with the Officer's Knife. In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent of stainless steel, then known as "inoxydable" and used in the production of his cutlery, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born. Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.
