Megafactories: Swiss Army Knives

SYNOPSIS

The Swiss Army Knife may be the most ingenious multipurpose tool ever invented - and the most recognized. It's used by everyone from Boy Scouts to presidents. Who knows how many lives it's saved. And how it's made is as ingenious as the tool itself. At the Victorinox factory in Switzerland, parts start out as raw steel and emerge many stages later as gleaming tools. Everything here goes like clockwork - Swiss clockwork. Then came 9/11. The fallout of that day would reach all the way to this quiet valley and threaten the survival of a company that makes one of the world's most iconic products.
