The Victorinox SwissTool BS is Made of Black Oxide Steel

Coming from a typically function-focused brand, it is refreshing to see Victorinox release a product with a clear attention to design aesthetic with the SwissTool BS.
This is a product that doesn't compromise on form or function. This 29 function multi-tool is 0.7 inches thick, 4.5 inches long and weighs 10.2 ounces. Made of black oxide steel, Victorinox asserts the material will stand-up better to rust and corrosion. The SwissTool BS is just as useful as the classic red-handled multi-tool, but with a look that is more reflective of modern aesthetics. The SwissTool BS retails for $220 and comes with a nylon carrying pouch.
The combination of the prestige associated with the Victorinox brand and a multi-tool that looks as though it was created by a concept design house makes this product an asset to the Victorinox line-up.
