News that the Swiss army is considering going to international tender for supply of the “Swiss” Army Knife. Sacrilege!
Apparently tight new airline riles, as well as competition from the likes of Gerber and Leatherman is making life difficult for Victorinox the original and only official Swiss Army Knife manufacturer. As someone who grew up playing with his friend’s 150 blade super Swiss tool I say save the genuine Swiss Army Knife!
