The Swiss Army Knife was invented by Carl Elsener in 1891. It is over 100 years old. Over 34,000 pocket tools with the distinctive Swiss cross leave the factory in central Switzerland each day. Ninety percent are for export to over 100 different countries and serve as ambassadors for Switzerland.
Swiss Army knives are carried in pockets and in belt pouches all over the world. The Swiss Champ is a standard model carried by multitudes for years. It is built in 8 layers with 33 different functions. A bulky yet pocket sized toolbox.
