Not one to be a pedant but great man I am sure Mr Elsener was I am not sure that the 1890's soldier could be considered 'his' prototype, and did he not register his 'Officers' knife in 1897.

At least thats what it says in the link embedded in the article to

It says on that site that he did... 

Carl Elsener developed a knife specifically for officers ... This new model with only two springs for the six blades he called the "Officer's knife". Its design was officially registered on June 12th 1897.

You're hardly being pedantic.

I know any press is better than no press, but this story has so many factual errors starting with the title that it makes me ill.
