1) Because they are made in Switzerland.

2) The original design was for use by the Swiss army.

There still is a model which is issued to every new recruit in the Swiss army. It is called the "Soldatenmesser".

Swiss Army Knives are made by two manufacturers: Victorinox and Wenger.

These two companies have been manufacturing knives for the Swiss Army, and for retail sale, since 1891 and 1893 respectively.

Victorinox is located in Ibach, canton Schwyz; and Wenger is located in Delémont, canton Jura.
