The seed of the idea of a multi tool device has been around widely since the time of the World wars. Soldier Knife, was the first proper utility multi tool device that came into being. An original model, made especially for troops. Soldiers fighting and traveling over days of war needed a fold-able tool that could easily open canned food, be used in administering first aid as well as in dis-assembling a rifle. Usually equipped with five functions, 'The Soldier Knife' included a blade for cutting, a reamer, a can opener, a screwdriver, and oak handles.
The Multi tool finally found its progress by inventor Karl Elsener, owner of the very popular manufacturing company called Victoronix, created in 1891 and came to be known as the 'Swiss Army Knife'.
