This very useful, 16-function multi-tool knife has been included in the Design Collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. Outfitted with a nylon handle and aluminum housing, the Explorer carries a lifetime warranty.

About Swiss Army Knives
In 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.

Customer Reviews

Love these
I saw this for a great price and added it to my collection, which includes the Champ, Super Tinker, Classic, and Soldier. Like the rest, this thing is amazingly high quality and defines "handy". I like the Phillips mounted in the front where it belongs.
