    I carry a Swiss Army Knife almost everywhere I go. It proves to be a very useful tool. I also have a Swiss Army watch.

      I visited the factory in Ibach in April 2019. It was great!! You can't actually go into the factory. Instead, there's a Victorinox flagship outside and another one in the next town. It's amazing to see the building though. I took pictures, it was unforgettable.

    My first Swiss Army Multi-Tool was the Explorer in Cub Scouts. I've been hooked ever since. I now carry the Swiss Champ! It's the ultimate knife based multitool for my use. It is my constant companion. I use it everyday and sometimes it's simply a fidget toy! Every boy needs a Swiss Army knife! Ladies too!

      Me, for example, I got my first one when I was 6 years old from my father. I did cut myself sometimes, so he removed the blade, haha.

    For a company that lost 30% of its revenue after 9/11, I don’t understand why there isn’t a better version of the jet setter? At least add a pen! More blade-less airport approved tools would be amazing.

    • @simonh6371
      @simonh6371 2 роки тому

      It wouldn't make a difference though, they had to close the Victorinox shops in Duty Free areas of airports. So 2 models of Jetsetter wouldn't justify them opening new shops in airports.

    Security Check points.
    The bane of anybody who owns a pocket knife. I have lost two pocket knives because of this. One at an airport and one at a Halloween fair event. My advice: If you want a pocket knife everyday, be sure it's a cheep one that you won't mind losing. If you want a really good knife. Don't have it on your key-chain. You might unintentionally bring it to a security check point.
    But besides that nit pick. Victorinox earns it's world reputation as a good product.
