Where do I send my knife for repair?


Please consult our website "go global" where you will find the address information of the Victorinox importer in your country.
What does stainless mean?


Stainless steel has a high resistant to corrosion. The steel is tempered, annealed and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion.
If stainless steel products are not cleaned over a long period of time, aggressive substances (fruit acids, salt water etc.) are able to act on (corrode) the material.
How do I care for my knife?



Regular cleaning and oiling are important for proper functioning. You can get more information here "Care tips".
How does the altitude display on the altimeter work?


Altimeters calculate altitude based on atmospheric pressure. These devices always have to be calibrated before use to allow for daily fluctuations in air pressure.

The PDF below offers further useful tips on how to use the altimeter correctly.

Are multi-tools dishwasher-proof?

The temperature in dishwashers can reach between 55 and 80 degrees, depending on the selected cycle. Cleaning salts and strong cleaning agents are used during this process. Exposing penknives and multi-tools to aggressive atmospheres and high temperatures for extended periods can cause damage.

Therefore, do not put penknives or other multi-tools in the dishwasher!
