Having been in the business of providing the highest quality products across various different industries for over 130 years, Victorinox has come a long way from Karl Elsener's cutler workshop in Ibach-Schwyz back in 1884. He started the company back in a time where Switzerland was not the financial giant that it is today. He provided the opportunity for a lot of Swiss people to get a respectable job and combated unemployment in one of the poorer countries in Europe. Since then, Victorinox has expanded and produces a lot of different items over a varying range of applications. From their symbolic Swiss Army Knife to some of the best watches in the world, the company is truly unparalleled. In recognition of cooking being something more than just a simple household task, they have also gone into the cutlery industry and excelled in it with the creation of the Victorinox Knife Set.
