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.
Victorinox, the famous Swiss knife maker originally created a small knife intended for the kitchen. The particular shape of its "bird's beak" blade allows it to peel fruits and vegetables to give them a very homogeneous shape.
With this small, compact and ultra light knife (19 gr), 6cm curved stainless steel blade like a claw, it did not take long to understand the possibilities of use of this "bird's beak" (or "paring" in English) in a self-defense situation.
Today, the "paring knife" phenomenon is gaining momentum and many people wear it around their neck since it is possible to slip it into a kydex sheath.
The growing success of this "Victorinox paring knife" is also due to the fact that it is particularly economical to buy and given its price, a good number of users allow themselves to customize it. Its success is such that cutlers have resumed its shape to make custom knives very fashionable! Take the time to thoroughly search social networks using the keywords or the hashtag "paring knife", you will be surprised at the results.
