The similarities of the design of The Alinghi Swiss Army Knife and the Alinghi sailing vessel can be seen in both the line of the hull of the boat and the blade of the knife resembling the powerful silhouette of the shark. The precision can be observed as the boat slices through the water or the knife's blade cutting action.
The design of the blade was also reworked to achieve greater resistance. In order, to protect the materials from the salty waters, the aluminum blades have been treated with anticorrosive agents.
The outer handles of The Alinghi Swiss Army Knife have been ergonomically designed for a greater grip and resistance. The texture of the handle of the Swiss Army Knife is now ribbed with a criss-cross structure at the front for a more comfortable hold. The Swiss Cross plays double duty, one as the legendary symbol and the other as a button to unlock the blade. |
