As with all Victorinox items, the Sportsman II is made to exacting standards, with dozens of steps going into its construction. Victorinox attends to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition to sporting a hard nylon handle that works to hide scratches and scars from your adventures, the Sportsman II's individual tools have each been hardened in a different way to stand up to their designated uses.
The LED flashlight, meanwhile, efficiently lights the path ahead, making it ideal for backpacking, emergency use, or as a spare light for around the house. LED flashlights are up to 10 times more efficient at converting energy into light than regular bulbs, resulting in a longer battery life. At the same time, the Victorinox LED flashlight is sleek yet robust, with a sturdy housing that holds up to rough handling at the campsite. The LED flashlight runs on two AA batteries and fits easily in any backpack, fanny pack, or purse. Both the Sportsman II and LED flashlight carry a lifetime warranty.

About Victorinox
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.
