What are Swiss Army knives, multi knives, and universal knives?<\/h2>\n

Speaking of army knives, Switzerland is about the head Swiss army knives. Victorinox, a white cross emblem with a red body and a red background, has long been recognized as the pinnacle of multi knives and all-purpose knives. Since its birth, mountaineers, explorers, and even astronauts have expanded their fields of activity from Everest to outer space. Nowadays, some army knives start with LED lights, clocks, barometers and USB memory sticks, and when it comes to bladeless knives, they are no longer in the category of knives and have become a multi-tool itself.<\/p>\n

Karl Elsener, father of the Swiss Army knife<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

As the name implies, Karl Elsener was founded in a small village called Ibach, Switzerland, and has been inventing the officer knife that is the prototype of Victorinox, including the manufacture of army knives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The origin first soldier knife of Victorinox adopted by the Swiss army in 1891.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the death of Karl Elsener’s mother, her name Victoria and the international name of stainless steel Inox, which began to appear at that time, were combined to form the company name.<\/p>\n

Tim Leatherman is the creator of the American Swiss Army knife<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tim Leatherman of the United States was keenly aware of the need for a grab-type tool due to problems with the water supply of cars and hotels while traveling. From there, it was conceived and developed to become the prototype of the Leatherman model incorporating pliers and drivers, and has become synonymous with multi-tools.<\/p>\n

It evolved from a prototype Mr. Crunch to a pocket survival tool, but initially it was called a tool by knife factories and a gadget (small, rare tool) by tool factories. As usual of our predecessors, it seems that it was not easily recognized at the beginning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Recognized for its practicality and convenience, Leatherman became popular with many people and established a factory for production five years from now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looking ahead 10 years, the site was expanded, and along with the expansion of wholesale, the facility was expanded at a pace higher than originally planned, doubling in two years and trebling in three years, since its establishment in 1993. For the first time, we achieved annual wholesale of 1 million units.<\/p>\n

How to choose and use an army knife, a multi knife, and a universal knife<\/h2>\n

It goes without saying that it is not good if there are many functions, and if it is heavy and large, it will be difficult to store it, and if it is too compact, it will be difficult to use, and where and how to use it will be important.<\/p>\n

Function of army knife: A versatile knife that goes beyond the multi knife<\/h2>\n

It is a Victorinox Swiss Champ equipped with 33 kinds of functions that can be called a universal knife rather than a multi-tool, multi knife, but it seems that there are many cases where you do not know how to use it or even forget it.
