In 1937 Victorinox began selling cutlery in America through a
Connecticut distributor called R.H. Forschner & Co. A well-known
manufacturer of butcher scales, Forschner soon became the
exclusive U.S. distributor for Victorinox knives, and was the
name by which Victorinox knives were known. In 2011 Victorinox
began marketing all its product lines, including kitchen knives,
under the common umbrella name by which the company is now
popularly known – Victorinox Swiss Army. Today, Victorinox Swiss
Army still sells a handful of accessories, including the High
Heat Turner line, under the Forschner name. Care and Use Be good
to your knives and they’ll be good to you. Following these simple
guidelines will ensure that you get the longest life out of your
! Hand Washing Victorinox Swiss Army recommends washing all
knives by hand. For best results, hand wash your knives with a
soapy cloth and dry immediately. Dishwasher While Swiss Classic
knives are dishwasher safe, we still recommend hand washing as
dishwashers are designed to spray water at a relatively high
pressure, which can jostle the silverware and cause the knives to
collide, dulling the edge. Maintaining your ’s Edge For
optimum performance, knives should be honed after every couple of
uses. Proper and frequent use of a honing steel will keep your
knives sharper and performing at their best, but remember that a
honing steel will not sharpen a dull . Honing steels are
maintenance tools and are used to help keep an already sharp
blade from degrading. During use, a edge becomes rolled or
turned from direct contact with cutting boards, s or other
hard objects. In this case, honing is necessary to straighten the
edge of the . After significant use, the steel particles
become damaged and the edge cannot be brought back by honing, so
sharpening is necessary. If your knives are dull, pitted, or you
see visible nicks on the cutting edge, you’ll need to sharpen
with a Swiss Sharp Handheld Sharpener (49002) or bring to a
professional for re-sharpening. History and Heritage In 1884,
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 and in 1897 with the Officer’s . In
1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the
advent of stainless steel, then known as “inoxydable” and 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 resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.
