abstract
| - The Swiss Army Knife was invented in 1904 by Luke Warm, as afterthought following his previous notable achievements, chain and temperature. It is used widely by the Swiss Army as their primary means of both attacking opposing armies, and opening tins of beans.
- The item can be found in the B3F passage B by David.
- The Swiss Army knife (, : "Swiss officer's knife", Swiss-German: Sackmesser, ) is a brand of pocket knife or multi-tool manufactured by Victorinox AG and Wenger SA. The term "Swiss Army knife" was coined by US soldiers after World War II due to the difficulty they had in pronouncing the German name. The Swiss Army knife generally has a sharp blade, as well as various tools, such as screwdrivers, a can opener, and many others. These attachments are stowed inside the handle of the knife through a pivot point mechanism. The handle is usually red, and features a Victorinox or Wenger "cross" logo or, for Swiss military issue knives, the coat of arms of Switzerland. Originating in Ibach, Switzerland, the Swiss Army knife was first produced in 1891 after the company Karl Elsener, which later became Victorinox, won the contract to produce the Swiss Army's Modell 1890 knife from the previous German manufacturer. In 1893 the Swiss cutlery company Paul Boéchat & Cie, which later became Wenger, received its first contract from the Swiss military to produce model 1890 knives; the two companies split the contract for provision of the knives from 1908 until Victorinox acquired Wenger in 2005. The design of the knife and its versatility have both led to worldwide recognition.
- A Swiss Army knife (SAK), (French: ="fr" xml:lang="fr" >Couteau suisse, German: ="de" xml:lang="de" >Schweizer Offiziersmesser, Italian: ="de" xml:lang="de" >Coltellino svizzero) is a brand of multi-function pocket knife or multi-tool. It originated in Ibach Schwyz, Switzerland in 1897. The term "Swiss Army knife" is a registered trademark owned by Wenger S.A. and Victorinox A.G., longtime suppliers of knives to the Swiss Armed Forces. Generally speaking, a Swiss Army knife has a blade as well as various tools, such as screwdrivers and can openers. These attachments are stowed inside the handle of the knife through a pivot point mechanism. The handle is usually red, and features a Cross and Shield, the coat of arms of Switzerland. The term "Swiss Army knife" is sometimes used metaphorically to describe usefulness, such as a software tool that is a collection of special-purpose tools. The term "Swiss Army knife" was coined by US soldiers after World War II, presumably because they had trouble pronouncing its original name, "Offiziersmesser". The "Swiss Army knife" has been added to the collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Munich's State Museum of Applied Art for its design. Swiss Army Knives are common, so called "EDC" items.
- When selecting camping equipment, one of the first few things in my bag is a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. Choosing camping equipment requires two main considerations - Is it multi purpose (can it do more than one job or be used in multiple applications)? - Is it going to be light weight and not add to much to your carrying weight? The good thing is that a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife fulfills both criteria. My personal favourite is the Victorinox Swiss Champ Swiss Army Knife. The knife has almost anything and everything you would need on a camping trip (Blades, scissors, screwdriver, a magnifying glass and even a wood saw!).
