Wiki

A Swiss Army knife is a pocket-sized knife or tool set used by the Army of Switzerland. The term "Swiss Army" is currently registered by the Wenger company, which was acquired by Victorinox, its Swiss Army knife manufacturing competitor.

The design and model for the knife originated in the city of Ibach, Schwyz in Switzerland in 1897.
