Victorinox Swiss Army Farmer Pocket Knife (Silver Alox Ribbed)

victorinox
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener started his cutlery factory in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland. In 1897, he crafted the Victorinox Original Swiss Army Knife. Since that time, the Elsener family has continued to craft tools in the Victorinox tradition of in genius design, durability, and quality. This is why all Victorinox multi-tools, made of first class stainless steel, are guaranteed a lifetime against defects in material and workmanship. Remember, if it doesn't say Victorinox, it's not the Original Swiss Army Knife.

Inspired by the classic Soldier's Knife, the Victorinox Swiss Army Farmer pocketknife combines tons of useful functions in a durable fluted Alox handle, making it an ideal choice for all-around use. Measuring 3.66 inches long, the Farmer is stylishly cased in an elegant silver housing with the familiar Victorinox logo on the side. More importantly, the unit comes with a bunch of useful mini-tools, including a large blade, a can opener with a small screwdriver, a wood saw, a cap lifter with a screwdriver and wire stripper, a reamer, and a key ring for easy transport.



The multi-tool is cased in a fluted Alox handle. As with all Victorinox items, the Farmer 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 Farmer measures 3.66 by 0.55 by 0.87 inches (W x H x D), weighs 3 ounces, and carries a lifetime warranty.

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.
