Victorinox Pays Tribute to Peruvian Artisans 

Celebrating Peru’s rich cultural legacy, Victorinox has unveiled a limited-edition collection of its iconic Swiss Army knives, designed in tribute to traditional Peruvian craftsmanship. In partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR), this exclusive release highlights three cherished symbols of Peruvian artisanal heritage: the Retablo Ayacuchano, the Torito de Pucará, and the Tumi.

Victorinox, a brand embraced by Peru for more than a decade, presents this collection as a gesture of appreciation. Fusing artistry and tradition with its signature precision and quality. “At Victorinox, we recognize the deep symbolic and artistic value of Peru,” says Karl Kieliger, General Manager of Victorinox LATAM. “This collection seeks to honor that cultural richness by merging timeless traditions with Swiss precision in a collection that stands for identity, heritage, and excellence.”

A Collector’s Piece Rooted in Culture

The Artesanías del Perú – Edición Exclusiva features six multifunctional tools across two of Victorinox’s most iconic models: the Classic (58 mm) and the Climber (91 mm). Each knife is adorned with one of the three representative Peruvian designs and includes specially designed packaging and official certification.

Developed in close collaboration with PROMPERÚ and the General Directorate of Handicrafts, the collection proudly carries the Marca Perú, celebrating national craftsmanship on a global scale. Adding to the uniqueness, the first 1,000 units of the Climber 91 mm edition include a collectible sterling silver 950 plaque engraved with the official Artesanías del Perú logo, attached via the knife’s key ring.

IN THE KNOW: With prices starting at S/159, the collection is now available at Victorinox stores, through authorized retailers across Peru, and online at www.victorinoxstore.pe.

The origins of Victorinox date back to 1884, when Karl Elsener opened a knife-making workshop in central Switzerland. In 1891, he supplied the Swiss Army with its first soldier’s knife. A few years later, he introduced what would become the iconic Swiss Army Knife™, laying the foundation for a brand that would grow into a global legacy.

Today, Victorinox is a fourth-generation family-owned company with a presence in over 120 countries. Beyond its legendary pocket knives, the brand also offers professional kitchen tools, premium travel gear, and precision-engineered watches.
