subject: The Swiss Army Pocket Knife [print this page] Wenger is referred to as the maker of the "Genuine Swiss Army Knife" and Victorinox is referred to as the "Original Swiss Army Knife". Both brands are comparable in quality design and function and the brand you choose is merely personal preference. These trusted pocket knives have become an international symbol for ingenuity, efficiency and multi-functionality.
I have many hunting and fishing knives that feature both fixed and folding blades but one knife that I never leave home without when heading out on a hunting, camping or fishing trip is my Swiss Army knife. The model I have carried with me for over ten years is the Victorinox "Outdoorsman". This handy pocket knife has saved many a day when I faced a situation where I quickly needed a small screwdriver, can opener, and even tweezers to remove splinters and stingers from bee stings. These knives are not a substitute for a set of tools but sure are handy in situations where you have no access to them. Thes knives are available from plain and simple two bladed knives to fully loaded tool monsters and everything in between.
Victorinox and Wenger both offer a full line of products for all of your outdoor related needs including Swiss Army watches, backpacks, clothing, luggage, travel gear and even fragrances.
