Swiza stands for Swiss pocket knives that unite tradition and innovation. Founded in 1904 by Louis Schwab as a clock factory in Moutier, the company evolved over decades from horology to knife manufacturing. Today Swiza designs and produces all its pocket knives at its site in Delémont in the Canton of Jura – 100 % Swiss Made, with a lifetime warranty. From the compact D01 through the versatile D06 to the tool-rich D08, Swiza offers the right knife for every purpose. At Swiss-Sale.ch you will find a wide selection of Swiza pocket knives for the outdoors, everyday use and travel.
D Series – from compact companion to multi-tool
The D Series forms the core of the Swiza range. Models D01 to D08 differ in the number of integrated tools: the D01 provides the basic set-up with blade and nail file, while the D08 comes equipped with scissors, saw, awl, bottle opener and additional tools. What they all share is the ergonomically curved handle that sits securely in the hand – even during prolonged use. The blades are made from hardened 440 stainless steel at 57 HRc and withstand high demands.

Swiss Cross Button Lock – safety at the press of a button
The hallmark of every Swiza pocket knife is the patented Swiss Cross Button Lock. A press on the Swiss-cross logo in the handle unlocks the blade – safely, intuitively and operable with one hand. Unlike conventional slip-joint mechanisms, the Button Lock securely arrests the blade in the open position and prevents accidental closure. This safety feature makes Swiza knives ideal for outdoor use, workshop tasks and daily life – even when wearing gloves or with wet hands.
Special Series – AllBlack, Tick Tool & more
Beyond the classic D Series, Swiza offers specialist models for particular requirements. The AllBlack line features a PVD titanium-nitride coating on blade and tools – scratch-resistant, corrosion-proof and visually striking. The TT series (Tick Tool) integrates a dedicated tick-removal tool that is indispensable on hikes and walks. The J02 Junior provides a child-friendly model with a rounded blade tip. The Heimat, Marguerite and Fern Camo series offer individual handle designs inspired by Swiss nature and culture.
Materials & craftsmanship – quality from the Jura
Every Swiza pocket knife is manufactured in Delémont – from blade stamping to final assembly. The blades are made from hardened 440 stainless steel (57 HRc), which delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The ergonomically curved handle sits securely in the hand and allows ambidextrous operation. The tools are precisely fitted and deploy smoothly. In this way Swiza combines the watchmaking tradition of the Jura with state-of-the-art knife-manufacturing technology.
120 years of Swiza – from clocks to knives
The story of Swiza begins in 1904 with the founding of a clock factory by Louis Schwab in Moutier. Over decades the company specialised in high-precision 8-day movements (from 1959) and later adapted to the quartz era (1976). In 2009 Swiza began diversifying into knives, and in 2015 the first pocket-knife collection reached the market. Today, headquartered in Delémont, Swiza is an established manufacturer of Swiss pocket knives – with the same commitment to quality that once distinguished its clocks.
