 If you want a Swiss Army Knife, this is the one to buy. November 10, 2007

My teenager has been asking for one of these knives since watching my Macgyver DVDs. He thinks he will be able to escape any situation with this knife and I think he just might be right.
It is the highest quality knife of this type on the market, I have a knockoff I bought on EBay where the screwdriver bent on first use. This one will not.
I got this for under $30.00 on Amazon's deal of the day a while back and consider it my buy of the year.
You will not be disappointed even if you pay full price.
Indispensible classic! December 15, 2007

This is the second Victorinox Swiss Army Champion Plus that I have owned over a period of some 40 years. The only negative thing I can say about it is that it has "legs", it will "walk away' unless guarded jealously, which is what happened to my previous purchase. There are so many special purpose tools included in this tiny but high-quality package, I never thought that I would find a use for some of them. But living with it in my pocket, I thought of it whenever an unusual task presented itself, and by this time I have tested all of its features "on the job". Every tool performs as advertised! Well worth the price!
Very nice September 6, 2005

What a great item. I wanted to get my groomsmen something different than just an engraved mug or a money clip and decided on multi-funtion tools. They just loved them. This knife is very handy to keep in a car, tackle box, whatever. It has everything you could need for hundreds of odd jobs for camping or fishing to around the house or garage. Wenger products are always high quality too.

I have an appreciation for the real Swiss Army knives and decent multi-tools, and the Victorinox Swiss Army Champion Plus is the one that sits in my camera bag, ready to go at all times. Measuring just 3-1/2-inches long, it's perhaps one of the best all-around tools that a pro or amateur photographer could look for as far as versatility goes.
There have been many times that this well-designed tool has come in handy in the field, and on a number of occasions it's been the one single item that has made the difference in a good day when shooting photos in the woods or wilderness. This knife isn't overly large, and even though it has a number of tools, it's quite manageable. The design has been proven over the years, and it's quite well thought out. Every single tool here has proven to be usable and easy to access once it has been used for awhile.
The Swiss Army Champion Plus has the following tools:
* Large and small blades
* Large and small screwdriver
* Phillips screwdriver
* Metal file, metal saw
* Corkscrew, can opener, bottle opener
* Reamer, punch
* Scissors
* Multi-purpose hook
* Wood saw & fish scaler
* Hook disgorger, ruler
* Nail file, nail cleaner
* Fine screwdriver, chisel/scraper
* Magnifying glass
* Pressurized ball point pen
* Mini screwdriver, sewing eye
* Key ring, tweezers, toothpick
The large and small blades do just what is expected. The ruler is marked in inches & centimeters, and is located on the fish scaler/hook disgorger tool. There's a small multipurpose hook tool on the reverse of the knife that's quite handy for carrying heavy plastic grocery bags (twist and loop them), keeping them from cutting into your fingers. It works well with clothes on a hanger, too.
Not well noted is the fact that it comes with a handy small micro screwdriver that's stowed within the corkscrew, so don't lose it. The tweezers are quite handy (for removing splinters or holding small parts) and these, along with the toothpick and ball point pen refill, can be picked up as spare parts from Victorinox if and when needed.
Some might prefer the Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Champ Pocket Knife because it has pliers, but I prefer the larger needlenose pliers in a regular multi-tool such as the Gerber Suspension Multi-Plier or the lightweight Leatherman Kick Pocket Multi-Tool for really getting the job done in fairly tight places. If either of those seem too large, there's always the super compact Gerber Clutch Mini Pliers Tool, which can be carried in a pocket at all times.
As a note of caution when using the Swiss Army Champion Plus (and some other models), the blades don't lock, so you need to be careful when using it. The larger-sized Victorinox Swiss Army One Hand Trekker, which is 4-3/8 inches long, has a large serrated locking blade along with a locking screwdriver. This model is not really pocket sized, and has a more limited choice of tools, so the Champion Plus might be a better choice for carrying on a daily basis.
Pros:
- Excellent value for the money
- Made from high quality Swiss stainless steel
- Excellent assortment of tools, all in one small package
- Has a lifetime Warranty
Cons:
- The blades don't lock, so be careful!
It should be noted again that all of the blades and tools are crafted from stainless steel, and it's still made entirely in Switzerland... and it has a lifetime warranty from a company that know how to back it up.
Tip: if you get one of these, spend about fifteen minutes familiarizing yourself with it, opening and closing all of the tools, and "exercising" them. Gently spray some WD-40 with the red nozzle tip into each of the joints so that they'll move freely in the field when you need them. Doing this will make it pay off with years of service for you.
This Swiss Army Champion Plus Pocket Knife from Victorinox lives up to its name. It's a great tool, an excellent value, and makes a splendid gift for just about anyone.

Very nice and handful tool set. I use it a lot to handle simple repairings. I believe one day I will save my life by it if I meet an accident...
