The tale begins in 1891 next to Karl Elsener, businessman of a cast that ready-made surgical instrumentality. He founded the Association of Swiss Master Cutlers, to hand purse knives to the Swiss army, who at this juncture were victimisation German-made ones. It took Elsener 5 time of life to come with up next to what he titled the "Soldier's knife" (known nowadays in Switzerland as the "Offiziersmesser"). With suggestions from an arrange friend, Jeannine Keller, the ingenious prime example had a wooden handle, and came with a blade, screwdriver, can opener, and a wallop. It was certainly ready-made available to the army previously 1896, but Elsener was not glowing with the device, and ultimately was competent to put blades on some sides by mistreatment a special chemical change mistreatment a solitary springtime for some blades. This allowed him to too add a bottle screw.

Elsener's company, Victorinox, was the azygous donor of multi-function pocketknives until 1893. A organization in the French-speaking district of Switzerland titled Paul Boechat & Cie began to market a of the same kind wares. The corporation was following bought by its pervading manager, Theodore Wenger, and the camaraderie dub denatured to Wenger. By 1908, the Swiss organization distinct to break up the licence for knives betwixt the two companies, incompletely to quiet German and French-speaking factions in the country, and part to stimulate business relation (and belittle the prices of the knives). The two companies came to an agreement complete marketing, next to Victorinox mistreatment the expression "The Original Swiss Army Knife" and Wenger exploitation "The Genuine Swiss Army Knife". The subsequent yr (1909), the Swiss armed service began decorating the knives near the Swiss national mark (a albescent annoyed). Victorinox uses a protection beside symmetrical symmetricalness say the cross, piece Wenger uses a slightly sausage-shaped mall with four-sided spatiality. The Swiss military service uses knives near a simpler bilaterally-symmetric protection.

Victorinox switched to untainted steel blades and tools in 1921. It is believed Wenger did so as healed in circles the said time, but cast sources are head-to-head in the order of the unambiguous solar day. The knives were sold in PX stores on US armed service bases from 1945 to 1949. In fact it is deem that the residence "Swiss Army Knife" was coined in English by American G.I.s during World War II, because they couldn't say the Swiss heading "Offiziersmesser".
