KNIFE The steel is tempered, annealed and polished to achieve the necessary
hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion. SHARPENING 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. CLEANING If the blades of knife begin to stick together, open and
close the blades in warm water several times – this will allow the tools to
move easily again. Once dry, apply a drop of Swiss Army Knife Oil between each
tool and its spring. Do not put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher. HISTORY &
HERITAGE In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach,
Switzerland. There, he and his cutlers’ union produced the finest steel
cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by
professionals and home cooks. Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard
issue Soldier’s Knife and Officer’s Knife. After the death of his mother, and
with the advent of stainless steel, Karl changed the name of the company to
Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born.
Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both
the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach,
Switzerland. From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army
knife a century ago comes the SwissChamp XLT pocketknife, the ultimate in
portable multi-tools. With more than 50 mini-tools packed into its 3.5-inch
frame, the SwissChamp XLT does everything from repairing household gear and
fixing electronics to pitching in at the campsite to cleaning fish. The
SwissChamp XLT is sheathed in a sleek translucent ruby housing with the
familiar Victorinox logo on the side. Tools-wise, the unit features all the
basics, such as large and small knife blades, a nail file with a nail cleaner,
a metal file, a metal saw, a wood saw, scissors, a Phillips screwdriver, a cap
lifter with a 6mm screwdriver and wire bender, a can opener with a 3mm
screwdriver, a corkscrew, a reamer, tweezers, a mini screwdriver, a fine
screwdriver, and a toothpick. The SwissChamp XLT ups the ante, however, with
such tools as a pharmaceutical spatula, a fish scaler with a hook disgorger
and ruler, a pruning blade, an electrician’s blade with a wire scraper, a
chisel/scraper, pliers with a wire cutter and wire crimper, a multipurpose
hook, a magnifying lens with 5x to 8x magnification capabilities, a
pressurized ballpoint pen, a straight pin, a sewing eye, and a DIP switch
setter. Finally, the SwissChamp XLT includes a bit wrench and bit case. The
bit wrench includes a 5mm hex socket, a 4mm hex socket, a 0 Pozidrive bit,
and a 1 Pozidrive bit, while the bit case comes with a 4mm flat head, 2
Phillips head bit, a 4mm hex bit, and 8, 10, and 15 Torx bits. As with all
Victorinox items, the SwissChamp XLT 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 SwissChamp XLT knife weighs 3.5
ounces and carries a lifetime warranty. SwissChamp XLT Tools Large blade Small

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.
