Benefits & Use Cases

The needlenose pliers and bit adaptor support mechanical repairs on deck or in engine rooms, while the saw and blade handle rigging, rope, and emergency woodwork.

The ergonomic, non-slip grip ensures safe handling in rain, spray, or cold conditions, making it equally valuable for emergency responders, fishermen, and tactical users.

Important Notes

All tools are crafted from high-quality tempered and polished stainless steel for optimal hardness and corrosion resistance. To maintain performance, clean the knife by opening and closing blades in warm water if they become stiff, then dry thoroughly and apply a small drop of oil to pivot points and the locking mechanism. Use only Victorinox-recommended Swiss Army Knife Oil for lubrication. Do not place in a dishwasher, as high heat and detergents can damage the tools and handle materials. Sharpen the blade using a whetstone at a 15°–20° angle to maintain the proper 30°–40° cutting edge. If using a grinding wheel, cool frequently with water to prevent overheating and metal damage. The included nylon pouch provides convenient storage and transport.

Part of the Victorinox Delemont Collection, this knife continues a legacy that began in 1884 when Karl Elsener founded the company in Ibach, Switzerland. Originally supplying the Swiss Army with soldier and officer knives, Victorinox has maintained family ownership and Swiss manufacturing to this day, upholding a tradition of precision, durability, and innovation.
