Victorinox Swiss Army Compact Knife

The Compact Swiss Army Knife is a small and lightweight tool that packs an impressive 15 functions. Slip it into your pocket, and you'll be ready for any everyday adventure that comes your way. This unique combination tool serves as a bottle opener, can opener, screwdriver, and wire stripper - all in a size smaller than other 91mm knives, allowing for a slim profile. Additional features like the mini-screwdriver, which attaches to the corkscrew, and the ballpoint pen, add functionality without adding bulk. It's hard to find another multi-tool of this compact size that offers such extensive capabilities.

Like all Swiss Army Knives, the Compact is built to last, with a lifetime warranty, stainless steel implements, and Swiss-made quality and durability. The 15 functions include a large blade, corkscrew, scissors, multi-purpose hook with nail file, tweezers, toothpick, pressurized ballpoint pen, and a patented mini-screwdriver.

The history and heritage of Swiss Army Knives dates back to 1884, when Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and his cutlers' union produced the finest steel cutlery, including the standard issue Soldier's Knife for the Swiss Army in 1891, and the Officer's Knife in 1897. In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and the advent of stainless steel, Elsener renamed the company to Victorinox. From these humble beginnings, a worldwide icon was born.

Today, Victorinox remains family-owned and operated, with the company and the Elsener family still residing in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.

To maintain the high-quality performance of Swiss Army Knives, proper care is essential. The steel tools are tempered, annealed, and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and corrosion resistance. When sharpening, use a whetstone at a 15°– 20° angle to create a 30°– 40° cutting edge. Avoid excessive heat when using a grinding wheel, which can damage the steel. After use, open and close the blades in warm water to prevent sticking, and apply a small drop of oil between the blade or tool and the spring. For the locking mechanism, periodically apply a drop of the recommended Swiss Army Knife Oil.

Swiss Army Knives are the epitome of utility and smart design, earning their reputation as a "cut above the rest." Compact, agile, and durable, they are the perfect companion for any adventure. With a lifetime guarantee and Swiss-made quality, owning a Swiss Army Knife is a commitment you can feel confident making. No assembly required, just unwrap and enjoy the versatility of this iconic multi-tool.
