And Then There Was One

Victorinox is the original Swiss Army Knife manufacturer and Wenger is an official Swiss Army Knife maker. Confused? I’m not because I own Swiss Army Knives from both companies.

The confusion however is now moot as Victorinox announced acquisition of Wegner.

The news also noted that sales have been hurt in the United States since the new security laws were put in place that doesn’t allow people to carry the very useful pocketknives in their carry-on luggage.

My first was a Victorinox, purchased while I was a sophomore in high school and is still in use. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
