THE ICON:
A masterpiece of miniature engineering the Swiss Army Knife is the definition of "more than meets the eye." This photograph meticulously reveals the array of tools folded within its iconic red celluloid handle— each blade, screwdriver, and corkscrew a testament to flawless Swiss precision, designed by Karl Elsener in 1897. Revell composes it, not just as a tool, but as a geometric sculpture, highlighting the beauty of its organised complexity and its status as the undisputed champion of preparedness and clever design.
With military service still compulsory in Switzerland, to this day, every new recruit receives a Swiss Army knife. 34,000 of these pocket tools are shipped globally daily. The ultimate in compact utility. This print details the iconic red scale handle, the polished tools, and the flawless engineering of the original Swiss Army Knife. It's a celebration of the design that has prepared generations for any eventuality, big or small.
