• The Victorinox Quality System
• Since 1884, the quality of our products has been our first priority.
• Inspections ensure all incoming materials conform to quality specifications.
• Victorinox labs meet the latest standard of engineering.
• All employees are responsible for following quality procedures.
• Quality control personnel are thoroughly trained.

• We maintain our worldwide reputation by implementing high standards of quality, functionality, design and finish.

• To re-sharpen your knife, use a whetstone at an angle of 15°– 20°. This will result in a cutting angle of 30°– 40°. If sharpening on a grinding wheel, always cool with plenty of water to avoid excessive temperatures and the resulting damages that may occur.

• After you’ve used your Swiss Army Knife for all of its various applications, such as cutting open numerous boxes, you may notice that the blades are sticking together. Open and close the blades in warm water several times and the tools can be easily moved again. When they have dried it would be good, but not always necessary, to apply a small drop of oil between the blade or tool shank and the spring. On the locking mechanism sometimes a drop of our recommended Swiss Army Knife Oil could be helpful. Never put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher.
