CNN contacted Victorinox after company CEO Carl Elsener Jr. told Swiss media outlet Blick that he is concerned about increasingly stringent regulations on knives in many markets. "In England or certain Asian countries, you are sometimes only allowed to carry a knife if you need to have it to do your job or operate outdoors," said Elsener. "In the city, however, when you go to school, to the cinema, or to go shopping, carrying pocketknives is severely restricted."
