About Victorinox
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.




Customer Review: Victorinox SwissMemory


A techie's toy - I love it. Just wish I could pack it in my carry-on luggage!


Customer Review: Swiss army knife with flash drive


Flash drive works well and is recognized without loading any drivers in Windows XP. Knife, nailfile/screwdriver,scissors are a plus to have. Small and very portable. Only complaint would be I think the price is a little steep.

Heatmax Hot Hands 2 Handwarmer (40 pairs)

Heatmax Hot Hands 2 Handwarmer (40 pairs)

Heatmax Hot Hands 2 Handwarmer (40 pairs)

Designed for skiers, hunters, fishermen, golfers, or anyone who works or plays in the cold for long hours, the Heatmax HotHands-2 Hand Warmers are air-activated and will provide up to 10 hours of soothing warmth inside gloves, pockets or wherever you feel a chill. All Heatmax warmers are made of natural materials, including iron powder, water, salt, activated charcoal, and wood fiber. When exposed to air, these materials react together to produce heat through an extremely fast oxidation (or rusting) process. Users should allow 10 to 20 minutes for the warmers to reach their optimal temperatures.



Customer Review: These are great


These stay hot for a REALLY long time. We have a 2 year old that needs to have a warm compress on her eye several times a day. One of these (in a sock) makes doing that SO much easier, plus I don't have to open a new one each time. I can use just one a day since they stay hot for so long. We used Little Hotties before and Heatmax stays hot MUCH longer. I had to use at least 2 Little Hotties a day because they didn't even stay hot for the 8 hours that it says on the box. If we need more after this box is finished, I will buy the Heatmax for sure!!



Customer Review: Instant relief


I ordered the Hot Hands for a friend who had eye surgery and needed to keep heat on her eye for extended periods. A hot washcloth involved continuous trips to the microwave. The Hot Hands are small and easily taped over the eye, providing 12 hours of warmth. Wrapped in Seran wrap and lined with wet paper towel, they also provided moist heat. A true blessing.
