Whats the deal with the Swiss Army brand? So many...

[axelfox]

I've seen a couple of brands that sport almost the exact same logo as each other, Wenger, Victornox, Swiss Army...which is the real deal? Why do they have these?

I've seen some Swiss Army Clothing, pretty sweet...

doesn't victornox make the swiss army knifes, that explains the same logo
although i have never heard of wenger before....

they use the same logo because the symbol is from the Swiss flag

Wenger, Victornox,

ive seen both of these, they both make knifes, its just the shield was shaped differently on the ones i saw. i'm pretty sure the watches are all victornox, not sure about the cologne and stuff

Wenger makes Swiss Army stuff. Like you have Wenger watches, but they almost make Swiss Army watches.

I believe both Victorinox and Wenger are authorized makers of Swiss Army stuff. Victorinox seems to be the more prevalent of the two (it is the one with a shield-shaped logo - Wenger's is a square with rounded corners), but IMO Wenger makes better knives (they have much nicer, serrated scissors with a much more robust cam mechanism rather than a flat spring, and the knives all have locking main blades).

They both make watches. The main, Swiss Army-brand ones are made under license from Victorinox, and Wenger makes them as well. The Wengers are cheaper but the original Swiss Army/Victorinox ones seem a bit nicer.
