Yes they are. They main factory is probably Victorinox. And there's still the saying "a real man has an army knife" - with a smile.

Answer 2If they weren't from Switzerland you couldn't call them "Swiss", that would be fraudulent advertising.

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

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

These two companies have been manufacturing knives for the Swiss Army, and for retail sale, for over a century. The model currently supplied to the Swiss Army is called "Soldatenmesser 08".
