Victorinox designed and manufactured
its first knives more than 130 years ago, and their pocket
knives have been officially issued to Swiss Army recruits
since 1891.
Designers conceptualized a new, larger version of the
Soldier’s model, including 10 tools, a lock blade that can
be opened with one hand and, importantly, a non-slip
handle manufactured from a combination of hard and
soft thermoplastics.
THE SOLUTION
Avient engineers guided the Victorinox team early in
the development cycle for the new Soldier’s Knife,
proposing a combination of materials for the handles
that would meet the design aspirations as well as Swiss
Army standards for durability.

ADVANCED COMPOSITES
An exceptional alternative to traditional materials such
as wood, ceramic and metal, advanced composite
solutions enable designers to:
• Design lighter weight structural components for
increased lifetime performance and improved
fuel efficiency—higher strength-to-weight ratios
to exceed the structural performance of traditional
materials while significantly reducing weight—up
to 75% lighter than steel and up to 25% lighter
than aluminum
• Extend product lifetime to reduce part
replacement and decrease warranty expenses—
the corrosion, weather, flame and fatigue
resistance of composite solutions improve
component durability
• Reduce product lifecycle costs—the extended
product lifetime, along with the potential for
reduced installation time and cost due to the lighter
weight of composite solutions, significantly reduces
the associated cost over the lifetime of a part
• Lower energy costs—by leveraging a higher
strength-to-weight ratio, composite solutions
allow designers to engineer products that require
less energy or power during installation and use
• Increase competitive advantage—Avient
advanced composite solutions can be customized
to provide electrical insulation, thermal insulation,
radiopacity, low thermal expansion, flexural
memory and load damping, while delivering
desired performance and aesthetic specifications

Product engineers and designers face the ongoing
challenge of optimising both design and material
selection to deliver parts for high-performing
applications.
Virtual, computer-aided modelling
is a critical tool to help predict part performance,
streamline design, expedite prototyping and improve
manufacturing efficiencies.
If the simulation
fails, parameters can be modified – enter a new material,
modify the design, augment manufacturing, etc. – to yield
the desired results.
