New Mini Tool with illuminating functionality

Victorinox launches a new Mini Tool, providing yet another opportunity to enhance the iconic Swiss Army Knife. The Mini Tool FireAnt Set turns any new or existing pocket knife into an adventure-ready compact fire-starter set. Its illuminating functionality is about to surprise and delight outdoor fans and adventurers alike.

Imagine being out in the woods, all set for a great camping weekend with the family. The only thing missing is a nice campsite fire. This is where the new Mini Tool FireAnt Set comes into action. This compact fire starter set makes it easy to light a fire even in the rain.

The Mini Tool FireAnt Set includes three fire steels in different glowing colors and six helix tinder. To have them at hand when needed, a fire steel and a helix tinder are conveniently housed in the corkscrew of the Victorinox Swiss Army Knives between 84 mm and 130 mm. This new Swiss Army Knife function quickly comes to the rescue of any outdoor adventurer.

Apart from its superb functionality, the Mini Tool FireAnt Set also adds colorful style and glowing personality to the Swiss Army Knife. The handles of the fire steels are treated with phosphorescent pigments and glow in the dark in the colors of yellow, blue or orange. This special extra is not only visually appealing, but also helps to locate the pocket knife in the dark. The helix tinder come in bright orange, can be cut or torn into pieces and used to start several fires. These small details make a big difference by stylishly transforming a regular pocket knife into a unique accessory with an individual touch.

The Mini Tool FireAnt Set complements the four existing Victorinox Mini Tools for everyday life: the gray slotted Mini Tool helps to repair glasses and sunglasses, the green Philips 000 and the blue Torx T4 are designed for compact electronic applications and the red Mini Tool consists of a pin for the easy exchange of SIM cards.

The Victorinox Mini Tools can be purchased in specialty and outdoor shops, in Victorinox stores and online. Victorinox prides itself on more than 130 years of experience in the manufacturing of high-quality knives in Switzerland.
