Because I recognize this logo when i was a kid, I think my family have one and we use it to for can opener ( mostly fish in a can type ). I personally like to stick with one brand and be loyal to it. I think I be swiss army loyal brand because of my childhood memory , like ford and chevy......

I'm not really brand loyal or much of a fanboy in general but with two notable exceptions: victorinox knives and Gibson guitars.

I'm similar to you in that both of those exceptions stem from childhood memories as well.

Fortunately victorinox is a good brand with high quality, especially for the price. Plus the wide variety of models makes it hard to go wrong!

Oh, and welcome to MTO :cheers:

Hi King!
If you're wise then stay away from Vic knives and tools! A Victorinox addiction can -and most of the times will-  develop within days.  >:D So stop now!!
You have been warned!!
Well, and if it is already too late, then Welcome To The Club!  :cheers:

I'm not really brand loyal or much of a fanboy in general but with two notable exceptions: victorinox knives and Gibson guitars.
i agree with that sentiment, but for me it's more like: Victorinox, Leatherman, Gibson and Fender!
