The Well KnownSwiss Army Knife – Handy In Any Job Setting
Karl Elsener, who owned a surgical instrument company, became dismayed in 1891 when he discovered that the small utility knives that the Swiss government were issuing their soldiers were actually made in Germany. Elsener’s national pride drove him to finding a way to have the knives manufactured in Switzerland. He took on the production of the first Modell 1890 knives near the end of 1891. After applying a number of modifications, the versatility of a Swiss army knife became apparent to the world at large.
The year that any particular model of knife had been introduced onto the market can be determined from the Modell (the German Spelling) number. The first knife, Modell 1890, had been given to Swiss soldiers so that they could open cans and disassemble and assemble their army issue rifles. This particular knife consisted of a knife blade, screwdriver, can-opener and a reamer. Its grips were made from dark oak which was later replaced by ebony.
Us army personnel after World War II had the opportunity to buy these knives from PX stores on their army bases, but as they had difficulty saying Schweizer Offiziersmesser, which was the official name of the knife at the time, they began to call them Swiss Army Knives and this is what they became known as world wide. This name was registered by Victorinox and its subsidiaries, who produce the knives, as a trademark, in subsequent years.
The red hand grips with the white cross emblazoned on it, the multiple blades and flip out tools make the Swiss Army Knife the most recognized compact tool kit in the world and it is revered by fishermen, campers, hunters and by anyone who can appreciate this small, portable, quality tool kit capable of performing so many tasks. Enthusiasts can choose from a vast range of models designed to accomplish an equally large range of jobs. There are so many designs to choose from that range between the simple model that has a single blade, a reamer, a screwdriver and a combination of bottle opener and can opener, up to the huge Giant, spanning nine inches across and armed with a total of 87 tools capable of accomplishing 141 separate functions. Furthermore red is not the only color. Increasingly you find people who opt for the black Swiss army knives.
Victorinox, together with Wenger, a subsidiary, are the manufacturers and they produce the very popular Classic Knife which measures only three inches but has amazing strength and little bulk. Equipped with a keyring for attaching to a key chain, the knife can be carried about conveniently. This small model has a number of useful tools such as a toothpick, knife blades, scissors, nail file, various screwdrivers, tweezers and many more tools which may not be used but are available if needed at any time.
The latest design for the modern age is the Presentation Master, a tool that includes a laser pointer, fingerprint scanner with memory stick and on board data encryption. All of the knifes attachments can be retracted into the knife, using springs, when they are not required. Being lightweight and having no blades, it is permitted to carry this device aboard aircraft.
The Champion Plus is favored by outdoor lovers and survivalists and it contains things like a serrated small saw, hook remover, fish scaler, punch tool, reamer and plenty more. A waterproof or black leather pouch suitable for carrying on a belt, may be purchased which is convenient for carrying the tool around. Of course there are many models available if you decide to buy a Swiss army knife.
A whetstone or steel may be used to sharpen the knives. Victorinox does recommend using the steel though, and actually supplies a knife blade sharpener for this very purpose. Not many people will deny the versatility of a Swiss army knife.
