Swiss Army knife The Swiss Army knife is a pocketknife or multi-tool manufactured by Victorinox AG (and up to 2005 also by Wenger SA). The term "Swiss Army knife" was coined by American soldiers after World War II due to the difficulty they had in pronouncing "Offiziersmesser", the German name.
Honyaki Honyaki (literally true-fired) is the name for the Japanese traditional method of construction most often seen in kitchen knives (but also other tools) of forging a blade in technique most similar to the tradition of nihonto from a single piece of high-carbon steel covered with clay to yield upon quench a soft, resilient spine, a hamon (or temper line), and hard, sharp edge. Honyaki as a term alone can refer to either mizu honyaki (water-quench) or abura honyaki (oil quench). The goal is to produce a sharper, longer lasting edge than is usually achievable with the lamination method. The term has been adapted to describe high-end mono-stainless in Japan and carbon blades by non-Japanese bladesmiths that have a hamon but are made with Western steel, heat treat, equipment, finishing (etching and polishing), and design.
