Speaking to CNN, a spokesperson for Swiss firm Victorinox said, “We are in the early stages of developing pocket tools without blades. With innovation at the core of our brand, we are constantly lening to our consumers and their needs and acknowledge that there is an appetite for the functionality, versatility, and craftsmanship the Swiss Army Knife is known for in more specialized fields and situations.”‘ Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now!

Elsener stated that the company is developing new tools for particular sports or outdoor activities, including cycling, and underlined the fact that knives are viewed as weapons rather than tools in some nations, reported CNN. He told the news outlet, “In England or certain Asian countries, you are sometimes only allowed to carry a knife if you need to have it to do your job or operate outdoors. In the city, however, when you go to school, to the cinema, or to go shopping, carrying pocketknives is severely restricted.” He further added, “I have a cool tool for cycls in mind. We already have a tool specifically for golfers in our range. Cycls probably need special tools, but not necessarily a blade.” Karl Elsener established the Victorinox in 1884, and it has been passed down throughout generations. The company has introduced new product lines in recent years, including socks, watches, and fragrances, in an effort to offset the effects of the Swiss franc.
