From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife a century ago comes the Swiss Army Rambler pocketknife, a compact set of tools for campers, hikers, boy scouts, and just about everyone else. Measuring 2-1/4 inches long, this version of the Rambler is stylishly cased in a red housing with the familiar Victorinox logo on the side. More importantly, the unit contains all the classic Swiss Army tools, including a small blade, scissors, a nail file with a screwdriver tip, a bottle opener with a magnetic Philips screwdriver tip and a wire stripper, a toothpick, tweezers, and a key ring. As with all Victorinox items, the Rambler 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 Rambler carries a lifetime warranty.
About Swiss Army Knives
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.
