The boss of Swiss Army Knife maker Victorinox says a rise in regulation to tackle knife crime meant the company is working on a new model without a blade.
The maker of the Swiss Army Knife says is it working on a new model - without a blade. Carl Elsener, chief executive of Victorinox, said a rise in regulation to tackle knife crime meant the company was developing a new version of its famous pocket tool. In an interview with Swiss newspaper Blick, he said: 'We're concerned about the increasing regulation of knives due to the violence in the world. 'We're actually working on pocket tools without blades.
' The Swiss Army Knife - first patented in 1897 - generally has a main blade plus other types of blades and tools including a screwdriver, a can opener, a saw blade and a pair of scissors. Under UK law, a person can only carry a knife in public if it has a folding blade that is less than three inches long.
