Victorinox Companion X Alox

The Companion X Alox is a 93 mm model very reminiscent of the Victorinox Pioneer X: a robust Swiss army knife. The Companion X is a bit larger than most Victorinox pocket knives. For example, the Companion X is larger than the well-known Victorinox Cadet and Huntsman. The larger size makes the Companion X perfect for demanding everyday tasks.

Alox handle

The handle is made from Alox, which is aluminium. The scales are made from punched aluminium with a protective anodized oxidation coating. This makes the handle even more resistant to corrosion and general wear and tear. In addition, the texture of the pattern also provides extra grip.

History of Victorinox

Karl Elsener founded Victorinox in 1884 in Ibach, Switzerland. Elsener opened his own workshop to produce knives for the Swiss army. The Swiss army knife has been used by the army ever since 1891. Victorinox’s success began in 1897 when they patented the first ‘Officer’s Knife’. The knife contained several practical tools in one compact design. It was the foundation upon which the Swiss Army knife as we know it today was built.

The brand really took shape in 1909 when Karl Elsener chose the name ‘Victorinox’. The name is a combination of the name ‘Victoria’ as a tribute to his mother and ‘inox’ as an abbreviation of inoxydable, the French word for ‘stainless’. Today, Victorinox is one of the leading brands in the knife industry. Everyone knows the iconic red pocket knife with the distinctive shield on the handle.
