Victorinox
Pocket knife brand
Victorinox is a Swiss company best known for manufacturing the original Swiss Army knife, the iconic red-handled multi-tool with its distinctive cross-and-shield logo.
Founded in 1884, the company name combines the founder's mother's name, Victoria, with the French word for stainless steel, inox.
Beyond knives, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, and fragrances, though my Victorinox almost always refers to a pocket knife.
