As I noted last year in
"Swiss Army Knives", I have long been a fan of knives produced by Victorinox, the company that traces its lineage to Karl Elsner, who designed the “Schweizer Offiziers und Sportsmesser” or the Swiss Officers and Sports Knife. These useful tools are of high quality and "Victorinox guarantees all Swiss Army Knives to be of first-class steel and provides a lifeme warranty against any defects in material
The only problem that I have ever experienced with Swiss Army Knives is loose handle scales. Made of plastic, they simply snap on and may become loose over time. This is especially the case if you inadvertently wash and dry one because, when subjected to extreme heat, the handle scales expand.
Of course, if such a disaster strikes, you can send your Swiss Army Knife to Victorinox and have it repaired but this will deprive you of a valuable tool that you may depend upon daily. A simple solution is to simply remove the loose handle scale, apply a couple of drops of Super Glue, and put it back on. In a few moments, the glue will bond and the knife is as good as new.
