Edelweiss ToolsSmall blade Nail file Scissors Toothpick Tweezers About VictorinoxIn 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. Product Description : From city slickers to masters of the agrarian sciences, everyone who carries the celebrated VICTORINOX Swiss Army Knife finds a multitude of uses for it! The Classic is the perfect pocket-size model, with seven functions, including tweezers and toothpick. 2-1/4 Inches in Length Built to last. Don't leave home without yours! I was thrilled when I received this knife. It was cute, small, and the utilities were perfect for light duty mom-emergency situations. However, after less than a month in my purse, the floral plastic cover (which in truth I thought felt pretty flimsy when I got it) had broken off one side and was cracked on the other. Sigh... I have three kids, age 2-7, and I've used this several times a week since I received it last Christmas. I've used it to cut off dangling strings, open toy packaging, poke a straw hole in the foil covering an individual milk bottle, file my nails, cut fruit, undo a very tight knot (with the toothpick), etc., etc. It has been handier than I imagined and has held up very well. I can't imagine not having it on my key ring!update: Although I still love this knife, it ended up breaking after about two years. I drop my keys quite a bit, so it cracked the side and then it fell off. I then bought a second one which has also lost one of the sides, and therefore the tweezers. I still use it and love it, I just wish it was more durable. I will eventually replace it, but probably buy something with metal sides. Knife is just right for average, everyday use. It is small and compact and has a decorative appearance. I bought it as a gift for a friend who just loved it.
