The particular knife that made it big from Wenger is known as the Genuine Swiss army knife.

Wenger started supplying its knives to the Swiss army two years after its rival company had already entered into contract with the army. Their knives were extremely practical and the Swiss army was indeed very grateful to the company for coming up with something as versatile as their knife.

It was impractical for a soldier in action to be carrying and then searching through a tool box to look for a screw driver to dismantle or assemble his rifle.
