Who Invented the Swiss Army Knife?

The  Schweizer Offiziersmesser: "Swiss officer's knife",  the universally known Swiss Army Knife, gives its own date of origin as 1891. But after reading about multi-use Archaic Period (c.a. 8,000 BC to 1,000 C:/www.nps.gov/seac/archaic.htm) stone tools, a class of tools  that someone either refashioned from a single-use tool or originally made into a portable knife blade- scraper-drill- spokeshave-piercer, I wondered, are these the original Leatherman Multitools?
