Important Notice
In France, the holding and carrying of knives in public is subject to specific legal provisions and restrictions.
In particular, the holding and carrying of a knife in public only is permitted if legitimate reasons can be provided.
Local restrictions may apply and prohibit the holding and carrying of a knife in places open to the public, regardless of legitimate reasons.
Further, the sale, purchase and possession of a knife is permitted, provided the person is at least 18 years old.
Please note that Victorinox takes all precautions and exercises all due diligence, including suitable age verification procedures, to ensure that knives are not sold to a person under the age of 18 on this website.
Disclaimer
The information provided does not, and is not intended to, constitute legal advice; instead, all information provided is for general informational purposes only.
Please contact the local police or authority for detailed information.
Victorinox expressly disclaims all liability with respect to actions taken or not taken based on the information provided to the fullest extent permitted by law.
According to airline baggage regulations, dangerous items are not permitted in hand luggage or checked baggage on flights, or are subject to restrictions.
However, these regulations may vary depending on the airline, airport and country. Please also note the entry requirements of your destination country.
Some countries also have stricter regulations on carrying items that can be used as weapons, both inside and outside airports (e.g. pocket knives with lockable blades).
Please check the website of the relevant airline or airport for the latest regulations before you travel.
As a general rule, we recommend that you always pack pocket knives securely in your checked luggage.
The term or the declaration "stainless" means the object in question is made of high alloyed steel. Products manufactured using high alloyed steel have a high resistance to corrosion.
The terms "stainless" or "inox" is thus only partly true. If stainless steel products are not cleaned over a long period of time, aggressive substances (fruit acids, salt water etc.) are able to act on (corrode) the material.
Regular cleaning and oiling are important for your Swiss Army Knife to function properly. More information can be found in the following documents:
When selecting a lubricant, various properties need to be taken into account, including legal provisions relating to the safety of foodstuffs. Some oils intended for pocket knives do not provide satisfactory lubrication or may even prevent the knife from working properly (causing it to stick, for example). Also, please heed the general food regulations.
The main features of our Multi-Purpose oil are: neutral in taste and smell, highly resistant to ageing, good wear and corrosion protection qualities, food-safe.
We highly recommend using our Multi-Tool oil 4.3302.
