In 1884, Karl Elsener opened his cutlers workshop in Ibach Schwyz and in 1891 he supplied the soldiers knives to the Swiss Army for the very first time. He went on to develop the Swiss Officers 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 and still does to this day.
