Legendary knife
A Swiss Army Knife is a symbol of practicality and clever design that is well-known throughout the world. It has a red handle, a little white cross, one or more blades, and fold-out tools for the work. The name has come to represent a small, cleverly constructed tool with numerous applications. The knives are still made in Switzerland by Victorinox “Elsener's company” and Wenger, and both the military and civilian variants feature the cross of the federal government of Switzerland. Today, the Swiss Army Knife is still made exclusively in just two factories in Switzerland, and more than 15 million of the dozens of different models are produced each year. Since their inception as a vital tool for soldiers, Swiss Army Knives have evolved into a global symbol of inventiveness and excellence.
