Wenger SA, a manufacturer of Swiss army knives since 1893, will stop making them, the company’s owner and former rival Victorinox AG said today.
Victorinox, founded in 1884 in the central Swiss town of Ibach, bought Wenger SA in 2005, saving its biggest competitor from bankruptcy. Until now, Victorinox had continued selling the folding knives under both names.
