The Swiss Army knife has never seen battle with the Swiss army!

The Swiss army's last pitched battle was the Battle of Gisikon during the Sonderbund War of 1847. (Essentially, an internal civil war.)

The Swiss Army Knife was invented in 1884, about 37 years later. 😁

I don't think so. Us military had an issue knife knife in 1944, m2205, knife, pocket, general purpose. It was domestically made, I believe by Imperial Knife Company.
