Switzerland has a new knife! The legendary Swiss Knife has been given a redesign for the first time in decades. The result is a unique creation manufactured and assembled in the Jura, restoring the status of the local cutlery industry. It is unveiled today as a world exclusive in Lausanne and Zurich by SWIZA, a brand with a history spanning over 110 years and an established reputation in watchmaking circles.
The new Swiss knife successfully couples the contemporary design conceived by a Zurich-based company with a number of technical innovations; note particularly the blade-locking system and easier access to the tools for both right- and left-handers. The knife is available in four Jura-inspired colors: Bright Red, Husky Eye Blue, Snow White and Graphite Black.
Manufacturing expertise from the Jura, design flair from Zurich
The tradition of cutlery-making is part of the Jura’s industrial history and SWIZA is proud to give it a new lease on life with consummate style. The brainchild of the brand’s executive team based in Delémont and designed by estragon, a product design company in Zurich. The new knife was prototyped and is being produced in the Swiss canton of Jura by specialists accomplished in the expertise and high quality standards inherent in the “Swiss-made” epithet, the pocket knife represents time-honored tradition and modernity in perfect synthesis.
Ingenious and indispensable
The sense of playful mischief in the knife’s bold curves, materials, and colors has immediate appeal. Meanwhile the ergonomic shape of the handle offers an intuitive grip facilitated by an extremely durable non-slip texture. The curved shape enables direct access to the tools, which are perforated for easy opening. The Swiss Cross—symbol of the brand—is ingeniously built into the handle and is far more than an identifying feature: it guarantees the user greater safety with a blade-lock system unprecedented in a knife of this size.
The New SWIZA Swiss Knife
The SWIZA Swiss Knife represents a revolutionary redesign of the legendary Swiss Knife. The ergonomic curved shape, sure-grip, soft-touch finish and easy access blade and tools make it the most comfortable and easy to use Swiss Knife ever.
Form follows function. The new SWIZA Swiss Knife features a long (75mm), extra strong blade manufactured of stainless steel 440 and hardened to 57 HRc, with a die-cut slot that makes it easy to open with either the left or right hand. The ingeniously designed hardened stainless steel tools include significant improvements including a blade with secure lock released by pressing the SWIZA cross icon and a sommelier caliber 5-turn corkscrew. The stainless steel tools and plates and high quality plastic scales are easy to clean and maintain.
This new Swiss Knife is destined to become the new standard in Pocket Knives and a useful, versatile and must-have accessory for anyone that wants to be prepared for the challenges and adventures that everyday life offers. It’s available with 4 different blade and tool combinations and in 4 vibrant colors (signature SWIZA red, husky eye blue, snow white and graphite black) all inspired by the landscape of the Jura Mountain region where Swiss Pocket Knives have been skillfully manufactured for generations.
