The box-opener was a brand new tool from Victorinox, introduced as a layer tool in 91mm Companion Swiss Spirit Limited Edition 2023 model. It was also later released in the Companion models in the Live to Explore Collection later that year, and then in the Companion Slim Alox model in the Companion Collection in July 2025, and later in October 2025 in the 93mm Alox Refined Collection.
The tool is placed in the position normally occupied by the can-opener tool, and shares the small Phillips/flat screwdriver capability with that tool. It also contains two sharp edges for box cutting: A rounded smooth cutting surface; and a serrated edge for tougher cardboard.
Note: The image right has a slight optical illusion, making the tool appear fatter than it is, however, the tool is exactly the same width as the regular can-opener.
