URBEX by SWIZA: The Swiss knife reinvented for modern exploration

Innovation, high technology, and Swiss Made at the heart of a next-generation multi-tool.

In 2024, for its 120th anniversary, SWIZA didn’t just celebrate its history: with URBEX, the brand redefined the standards of the Swiss knife—a collection created for those who refuse to compromise on performance or technical elegance.

Technology from the most demanding sector

Behind URBEX’s clean lines lies Swiss engineering and cutting-edge research. Developed in partnership with BIWI, a recognized leader in high-tech materials for fine watchmaking and medtech, this knife uses components that are unprecedented in the cutlery world: 

  • BIOROC: an ultralight composite made from aerospace-grade carbon fibers and 40% bio-based content (castor oil). The result is extreme strength, unmatched lightness, and a reduced environmental footprint. 

  • VULCARBONÉ: a vegan, ultra-resistant rubber engineered to withstand UV, heat, abrasion, and cosmetics—while ensuring a comfortable grip and outstanding durability.

URBEX doesn’t merely adopt the codes of the Swiss knife; it reinvents them by integrating the standards of luxury watchmaking and precision engineering.

Premium finishing down to the smallest detail

Every URBEX tool features a matte-black PVD treatment—a high-end finish that boosts corrosion resistance and lends discreet elegance. The 1.4110 stainless-steel blade (length 75 mm, thickness 2.5 mm) with one-hand opening includes a safety lock for reliable use, even in extreme conditions.

This level of detail is rare in the multi-tool universe—and that’s what sets it apart. 

Three styles, one standard

URBEX comes in three sensory designs that echo the landscapes today’s explorers love: 

  • LAVA: a raw, black aesthetic inspired by volcanic flows. 

  • MIRAGE: sand-yellow with a wavy texture, evoking desert dunes. 

  • CANOPY: deep green with a textured surface, recalling dense forests.

Each finish offers a unique tactile experience and a powerful visual statement. 

Swiss Made. Jura Made. And truly unique.

Made entirely in Switzerland, URBEX is more than a tool: it reflects Jura regional savoir-faire, where craftsmanship meets high technology. A short, local supply chain ensures total quality control and reinforces the product’s exclusivity. 

Priced between CHF 299 and CHF 349, URBEX positions itself as a piece of exception—not a gadget, but a durable, technical, and desirable object for exacting customers seeking authentic and responsible products. 

URBEX: for those who explore in style 

URBEX is not content to be a Swiss knife; it embodies a way of life. Designed to move effortlessly between city and nature, it combines elegance and efficiency in a format made to shift from urban living to the great outdoors. A tool that goes everywhere with you—without compromise.
