An original Swiss Army Knife from the Victorinox brand, which now includes Wenger, can be sent to the manufacturer for cleaning free of charge through authorized dealers. In everyday use should be a basic clean, which can be done in minutes with a few simple steps.
Identifying marks for original Swiss Army Knives
Apart from the typical cross-shaped emblem on the outer shell, an imprint on the blade of the large knife is the proof of authenticity. For the pocket knives since 2005, the text of the embossing was “Victorinox, Swiss Made, Stainless”. As of 2014, there are some products that have the embossed text “Victorinox, Swiss Made, Delémont”.
Victorinox’s corporate policy is very tradition and service oriented. Therefore, older models whose authenticity is undoubted are also accepted. In this case, a prior inquiry by phone call, mail or post should clarify the necessary identification marks of the respective manufacturing period.
Warranty definitions of the manufacturer
Victorinox defines its service very precisely. The following rules are described in the official checklist and procedure description for UK customers:
