The steel is tempered, annealed, and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion. To re-sharpen the knife, use a whetstone at an angle of 15°– 20°, resulting in a cutting angle of 30°– 40°. If sharpening on a grinding wheel, always cool with plenty of water to avoid excessive temperatures and resulting damages.

If the blades of the knife begin to stick together, open and close the blades in warm water several times, allowing the tools to move easily again. Once dry, apply a drop of Swiss Army Knife Oil between each tool and its spring. Do not put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher.

In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland, where he and his cutlers' union produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professionals and home cooks. Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier's Knife and Officer's Knife. After the death of his mother, and with the advent of stainless steel, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born. Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still reside in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.
