 Mine's 30+ Years Old and Still Going Strong July 6, 2008

I bought a Swiss Army Champion approximately 32 years ago for about $35. I still have it and just got it out to take a look at its condition. It still looks practically new with shiny steel and very sharp blades (aided once in a while with a diamond whetstone). I have used my knife to do all sorts of things including sawing down a Christmas tree, butt hinging and hanging a door, drilling holes for screws, opening the occasional bottle of wine/beer, etc. As I like to say, never mind your American Express Card, never leave home without your Swiss Army Knife. The thing is invaluable and worth twice the price.
Great value December 1, 2007

I recently purchased this knife here to replace a Victorinox Super Tinker which I had lost. Interestingly I found the other knife right after ordering this one.
For the price this knife is an incredible value. It is about $17 less than the Champ and the only thing it lacks that the Champ has is the pliers which you are better off using a Leatherman pliers for.
For a knife that has just about everything but is still small enough to carry it has all you need. And it has the Victorinox quality. If there is any downside at all it is a bit large to carry in the pocket. If you need more than this knife has buy a toolbox. My last Swiss Army knife I had I have owned for over 12 years. I wonder how long I will be able to keep this one. If I take care of it I can pass it on to my grandchildren. If you were looking for a Christmas present with value for someone who likes this stuff this is an incredible buy. Why women don't carry these in their purse more often I don't know. I guess it's just not ladylike to carry a knife. The women I know who do use them all the time.
Perfectly designed and built January 13, 2008

This is the best multi-tool I have ever had. It is perfectly designed, with all the tools easily accessible. The quality of this Swiss Army knife is better than I ever thought it would be.
I've owned two Swiss Army knives in the past (little junk ones), and the quality of those were not really that great, but this Champion Plus model is incredible. You can feel the quality when you use the tools, and you know it's designed to last a lifetime. And if it doesn't you know you've got a lifetime warranty to back you up.
My only complaint is not with the knife, but with the pictures provided on [...] of it. They do not show the thinkness in any of the pictures. It's thicker than it appears in the pictures, which for some people may be important. It feels fine carrying it around though.
If you're looking for a great multi-tool, I definitely recommend this one.

This is my first swiss army knife and I have used it almost everyday and I must say it has made whatever i've been doing easier I mean this knife Has everything you need without going overboard and spending hundreds of dollers and spending money on things you don't even need I don't usually where my glasses so if I need to read a map or something the magnifying glass is a really useful feature. Over all this is a very useful tool and if your dougting on getting this Knife don't it has made my life so easy.
Great for camping and around the house November 18, 2008

[Update: since this initial writing, I did go back and purchase another as a gift for one of my sons. I'm not sure which of us likes this knife more.]
Let me start by admitting that I purchased this one on a whim. I found it as a Gold Box deal for under $20. I couldn't pass it up and thought I would use it as a gift for one of my elder sons. After it arrived and I took some time to look it over, it found its way to my pocket where you can find it most days.
Others have written comparisons to other models, and have highlighted specific tools. I'll try to add a few things that helped make this one of my favorite knives.
- Right off the bat, there's no beating the style of can-opener that you'll find on this and every other Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. I've used both types (on Wegner and Victorinox models) and this one wins, hands down.
- I wear eyeglasses, and the mini screwdriver that is nested in the corkscrew is perfect for tightening up the screws on my glasses. You can either use it separately, in your fingers, or you can flip it over and thread the blunt (handle) end back into the corkscrew, allowing you to use the full knife as a handle. That simply makes it easier to use.
- I don't use the hook for carrying tied packages, but find it invaluable for removing hot pots from over a fire. No more burnt fingers from the water pot for me!
- I like having both the larger and smaller cutting blades, especially for whittling.
- The scissors are larger than those on the Classic (I have one on my key ring), so I find them easier to use, especially for cutting fabric or larger sections of paper (like coupons from the in-store flier).
- The number of screwdriver tips makes this knife a wonderful tool to have on-hand for quick tinkering. The phillips head is suprisingly versatile. I was able to use it on extremely small wood screws, and it works very well on computer case and mounting screws (I'm a techie by trade, and love having this one with me at the office).
- The one feature I thought I would never use, the ballpoint pen, actually came in quite useful a few days after pocketing this knife. I was at a product launch meeting and I didn't have a pen (I had counted on the vendor giving away logo pens, but they ran out). The pen nests into the same groove as the hook (albeit at the opposite end), making for a suprisingly comfortable and easy-to-use writing instrument.
- Finally, since I've been wilderness camping for more than 25 years, I like having the magnifying glass as a good weather fire-starter.
This is the knife that sits in my pocket most days of the week. I also take it on all of my weekend camping trips and hikes. I do like some other knives for other occasions (I prefer, for example, my Centurian {also by Victorinox} when I'm canoeing in the BWCA since I can use the longer {4"} blade to fillet fish and since I like the thinner profile stuffed into my pocket while sitting in the canoe). This is a fantastic, all-around knife. You can't go wrong for the price (even if $60). It's well-worth it and bound to become a favorite.
