“The name of the Victorinox brand was formed by a merger of two words. Victoria means “victory” in Latin, in addition, so called the mother of the company’s founder of Karl Elzner. Well, INOX is the abbreviated Latin Inoxidable, “stainless”, so in France it is customary to call chrome steel. So the name of the anniversary model Victorinox INOX is a tribute to the memory of the company’s rich history, a symbol of what the knives and the clock are combined with a common philosophy. ”
