From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife a century ago comes the Soldier knife/multi-tool with LED Flashlight set. The useful, 7-function multi-tool knife is the official standard knife issued to the Swiss Army. The Swiss Army regards the Victorinox multi-tool as part of a soldier's personal survival kit. This pocket knife contains 7 stainless-steel tools that will be there when you need them, but not burden you with its size when you don't. The standard tools include a large blade, can opener, small screwdriver, bottle opener with large locking screwdriver, wire stripper and reamer. The Soldier comes partnered with the silver alox Victorinox LED AAA flashlight. This flashlight delivers the powerful, white LED beams that are up to 10 times more efficient at converting energy into light than regular incandescent lamp while still using conventional batteries. Single-point, diamond-turned optic reflectors enhance the LED lamps, which are protectively recessed in a patented stainless steel head with a high-impact polycarbonate window. The twist on/off mechanism and power control circuitry result in extended battery life and increased lumens.
As with all Victorinox items, the Soldier knife is made to exacting standards of construction in Ibach, Switzerland at the same factory that has made Swiss Army knives for the last century. Victorinox focuses on every detail--from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use.

About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.
