Swiss Army Whistle Knife<\/h2>

\"DavisonEveryone has heard of the Swiss Army Knife. In 1999, through our exclusive development process, we made a modification to this American classic. Our modification was licensed to Victorinox, Inc. and later patented (US Patent # 6619225).<\/p>

It all started with our client Alexander, who had an idea for a personal safety device that would have an emergency alarm. We ultimately created a product that achieved his goal — not exactly as he had envisioned it, but in a way that was attractive to manufacturers. The final product incorporates an extremely loud emergency whistle (102db) into a small Swiss Army Knife that can go on a key ring. If you are lost or in peril, you could simply blow the whistle to draw attention and get help.<\/p>

We developed this product in a way that presented no manufacturing change or increased cost for Victorinox. The whistle housing simply snaps onto the four pins that hold the knife together.<\/p>

Our client thanked us for our work in a letter. Alexander wrote, “Davison has expertly produced my idea both in a virtual reality presentation, and as the final product as it would appear in the marketplace. My invention could not be in better hands.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
