Apart from @lynx talking bollocks, it has much stronger springs. This means that the tools including the knife blade are not so prone to closing when using them.
They don't actually lock, so are legal to carry without any good reason, but they are a bit safer. Having said that if they do close on you they do close with quite a snap. The side plates that separate each group of tools are brass and the supporting pins that everything pivots on are steel and made specifically. This makes the whole knife much more rigid and likely to stay that way for ever. I have bust swiss army knives in the past as they were pretty worn and then failed when the pins pulled out of the side plate. That and I got exactly the blade and tool combination I wanted.

Without trying to be rude or disparaging at all and as someone that spends more money than they need to on stuff quite regularly, what exactly is the difference between a $380 Robert Lessard custom Swiss army knife and a much cheaper victorinox?
