The Swiss Army knife (German: Schweizer Taschenmesser, Sackmesser, Hegel, etc.) is a multi-tooled pocketknife made for the Swiss Army since 1890, with consumer versions made, particularly since 1945. The term "Swiss Army knife" was used by American soldiers after World War II rather than the German word "Offiziersmesser", meaning "Officer's knife".
