Formerly Forschner In 1937 Victorinox began selling cutlery in America through a Connecticutdistributor called R.H. Forschner & Co. A well-known manufacturer of butcherscales, Forschner soon became the exclusive U.S. distributor for Victorinoxknives, and was the name by which Victorinox knives were known. In 2011 Victorinox began marketing all its product lines, including kitchenknives, under the common umbrella name by which the company is now popularlyknown – Victorinox Swiss Army. Care and Use Be good to your knives and they’ll be good to you. Following these simpleguidelines will ensure that you get the longest life out of your knife! Hand Washing Victorinox Swiss Army recommends washing all knives by hand. For best results,hand wash your knives with a soapy cloth and dry immediately. Dishwasher While Fibrox Pro knives are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing asdishwashers are designed to spray water at a relatively high pressure, whichcan jostle the silverware and cause the knives to collide, dulling the edge. Maintaining your Knife’s Edge For optimum performance, knives should be honed after every couple of uses.Proper and frequent use of a honing steel will keep your knives sharper andperforming at their best, but remember that a honing steel will not sharpen adull knife. Honing steels are maintenance tools and are used to help keep analready sharp blade from degrading. During use, a knife edge becomes rolled orturned from direct contact with cutting boards, bones or other hard objects.In this case, honing is necessary to straighten the edge of the knife. Aftersignificant use, the steel particles become damaged and the edge cannot bebrought back by honing, so sharpening is necessary. If your knives are dull,pitted, or you see visible nicks on the cutting edge, you’ll need to sharpenwith a Swiss Sharp Handheld Sharpener (49002) or bring to a professional forre-sharpening. History and Heritage In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach,Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers’ union he formed produced the fineststeel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferredglobally by professional and home cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Armywith its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and in 1897 with the Officer’s Knife.In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent ofstainless steel, then known as “inoxydable” and used in the production of hiscutlery, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from thosehumble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born. Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and boththe company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach,Switzerland.
