Victorinox Swiss Army Money Clip, Red Alox

A simple swiss army knife that includes a handy moneyclip

Still made in the village of Ibach, Switzerland, Swiss Army knives have been known for their quality and craftsmanship since they were first introduced over 100 years ago. This Swiss Army tool holds three practical accessories--a large knife, scissors, and a nail file with a nail cleaner. It's a shorter, slimmed-down version of the traditional Swiss Army knife with a money clip for storing currency or credit cards. The clip also has a broad, flat side that may be engraved with initials or a short name. All tools are made of first-class stainless steel, and are separated by rust-proof, aluminum alloy. Durable brass rivets and bushings hold knife layers together. This lightweight clip is a classy way for business executives to carry the company credit card or personal business cards. When inscribed, this clip also makes a cherished gift for groomsmen or recent college graduates. This Swiss Army knife/money clip is covered by a full, lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

The FX-21 Revolver SEAL Knife comes with a durable nylon sheath.Sharp, Partially-Serrated Blade for Versatility
Thanks to a 4.75-inch partially-serrated blade crafted from high-grade 440A cutlery steel, the Revolver's main cutting surface offers an optimal balance of value, durability, and edge retention for long-term reliability. The straight-edge portion of the blade delivers clean slices and is easy to sharpen, while the serrated portion is ideal for working with rope and other tough or fibrous materials. In addition, the blade's unique shape includes a curved, forward thumb rest that makes it easy to apply extra pressure to the cutting surface when necessary.

Cut Bone and Wood with the SOG Double Tooth Saw
Ideal for making quick cuts, even through wet wood, the proprietary SOG Double Tooth Saw makes the Revolver SEAL a true two-in-one tool. Simply close the knife blade into the handle and rotate the saw into cutting position, and you're ready to tackle bone, wood, and other tough materials without dulling or damaging your primary blade's cutting surface. An alternating tooth design allows the saw to grip while at the same time reducing friction for optimal cutting performance.

Intuitive, Ergonomic Design for Safe, Accurate Handling
Quick, accurate cuts are only possible if your knife or saw fits comfortably in your hand, and the Revolver SEAL delivers on this front, too. An overall length of 10 inches, the balanced feel of the double-blade design, and a contoured handle combine to let you maximize leverage while maintaining a comfortable grip, and the handle's textured surface prevents slippage for improved safety and precision handling.

The handle is made of glass-reinforced nylon that's both tough and lightweight, and hiding inside it you'll find stainless steel liners to ensure overall strength and dependability. Plus the entire, dependable Revolver SEAL still weighs in at just six ounces for true portability.

This FX-21 Revolver SEAL Knife comes with a durable nylon sheath, and it is backed by a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials.

Understanding The Print Process

Each of the primary colours; black, cyan (blue), magenta (red), and yellow has a separate plate. Even though you see many, colours in the finished product, only these four colours are used.

Ink is then distributed onto the plates through a series of rollers. On the press, the plates are dampened, first by water rollers, then ink rollers. The rollers distribute the ink from the ink fountain onto the plates.

The image area of the plate picks up ink from the ink rollers. The water rollers keep the ink off of the non-image areas of the plate. Each plate then transfers its image to a rubber blanket that in turn transfers the image to the paper. The plate itself does not actually touch the paper, thus the term "offset" lithography.

The paper is fed through the press as one continuous stream pulled from rolls of paper. A roll can weigh as much as 1 ton. The paper is cut to size after printing. Offset lithography can also be done with pre-cut paper in sheet-fed presses. Web presses print at very high speeds and use very large sheets of paper.

The paper is left slightly wet by all of the ink and water being applied. Obviously, there is a risk of the ink smudging. The smudging is avoided by having the paper pass through an oven. The paper is then run through a short series of large metal rollers that have refrigerated water flowing through them. These chill rollers cool the paper down instantly and set the ink into the paper. If this were not done, the ink would rub off on your fingers.

The bindery is where the printed product is completed. The huge rolls of now-printed paper are cut and put together so that the pages fall in the correct order.

At this stage if required pages are bound together, by staples or glue. A machine called a stitcher takes the folded printed paper and collates them together. Then stitches (staples) bind them together.

The final components in the stitcher machine are the knives, which trim the paper to the final delivered size. The product is then ready to be shipped to the end destination.

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.
