About the original
The Victorinox Money Clip Alox (model 0.6540.16) is a 74mm Swiss Army knife with a sprung metal money clip on one side and five tools on the other: a large blade, scissors, nail file, nail cleaner, and the money clip itself. The scales are polished ribbed aluminum Alox; the blade steel is martensitic stainless hardened to 55-56 HRC. Victorinox has produced Swiss Army knives in Ibach, Switzerland since Karl Elsener founded the company in 1884, and the Money Clip has been in the catalog since the 1980s. The FW15 Supreme version is the same 74mm Alox tool with Supreme box logos silkscreened onto black and red Alox scales in place of the standard brushed silver.
About Victorinox
Victorinox is a Swiss knife manufacturer founded in 1884 by Karl Elsener in Ibach, Schwyz, Switzerland. Elsener patented the Schweizer Offiziers- und Sportmesser in 1897, the original Swiss Army Knife, and began supplying the Swiss army the same year. The company adopted the Victorinox name in 1921, a portmanteau of Victoria (Elsener's mother) and inox, French for stainless steel. Victorinox acquired rival Wenger in 2005 and remains family-owned, with all knives still produced in Ibach. The Classic Alox uses ribbed aluminum scales over a five-tool body. Supreme has collaborated with Victorinox on the Classic Alox and a Mini Swiss Army Knife in red, black, and True Timber camo.
