Victorinox Huntsman

by Victorinox · 🇨🇭 Switzerland

The Huntsman is one of the classic Swiss Army Knife configurations, combining two blades, scissors, a wood saw, a corkscrew and screwdrivers in a 91 mm frame; Victorinox lists fifteen functions in total. Victorinox gives the country of origin as Switzerland, and its knife factories are at Ibach-Schwyz and Delémont. The knife is covered by the Victorinox Lifetime Warranty, which the company states runs against material or manufacturer defects for the lifetime of the product rather than for a stated number of years.
