The rich history and heritage of the Spartan and Swiss Army Knives can be traced back to 1884, when Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers' union he formed produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier's Knife, and in 1897 with the Officer's Knife. In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent of stainless steel, then known as "inoxydable," used in the production of his cutlery, 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.

Proper care and maintenance are essential for Swiss Army Knives. The various tools are manufactured from high-quality steel with precisely tuned features, tempered, annealed, and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion. Sharpening should be done with a whetstone at a 15°– 20° angle, resulting in a 30°– 40° cutting angle. Cleaning the blades and applying a small drop of oil to the moving parts will keep your Spartan functioning at its best.

Whether you're tackling daily tasks or facing an adventure head-on, the Spartan is a compact, agile, and durable companion that delivers trusted quality and smart design. It's the perfect gift for any occasion or a must-have stocking stuffer for the holidays.
