8. In 1884, Karl Elsener opened his cutler’s workshop in Ibach-Schwyz. At this
time Switzerland was still one of the poorer countries in Europe. In the early
years Karl Elsener worked to combat poverty and unemployment in the Schwyz
basin, creating jobs and helping stem the flow of emigration.
In 1891 he supplied the soldier’s knife to the Swiss Army for the first time. He
went on to develop the Swiss Officer’s and Sports Knife – now the iconic Swiss
Army Knife – in 1897, creating the foundation for a flourishing company that
would be able to hold its own on the world stage.
From then on, his spirit of solidarity, deep roots in the region and strong
commitment to solid values shaped the Victorinox company philosophy.
