 Amazing Deal January 18, 2008

This knife is an amazing deal (at around $30). The price varies somewhat, but as others have mentioned this is basically the same as the Swiss Champ model, but without the pliers. This is a great knife and a great gift for a person who likes to tinker with things or explore. Victorinox Swiss Army knives are of high quality, and this one is an exceptional value right now. I found the knife is not too big or heavy to carry, although I'm not the type of person to carry it in my pants pocket unless I was wearing Cargo pants or other outdoor gear. I'm going to get a case to protect it, this one is a keeper. Highly Recommended at value price.

This was a X-mas gift to my husband. He loved it!!! It has everything...even a little screw driver for glasses. We live on a farm, and he doesn't leave home without it!!

Before I got this knife I never carried my Swiss Army knife. Yes I had one and I took it when I was camping, but every day carry? No way! Then I bought the Champion Plus because it was inexpensive compared to some of the newer Swiss Army Knives. From then on, I was hooked! I carry it every day!
I own a SwissChamp too and its just too much. The pliers are not that useful (they are small) and they add quite a bit of heft to the knife. The Champion Plus is big, but MUCH more manageable and it has ALL of the same tools EXCEPT for the pliers. You can do anything with this knife! It's a pocket toolkit.
The magnifying glass on the knife is a bit different than pictured (its clear plastic) but all the new knives seem to have the same thing. Great deal if you are looking for a knife that does it all. The SwissChamp is just too much.... Go for the Champion Plus!

Just like with tools, guns & flashlights, you can't have just one multi-tool. You've got to have one for every purpose. I have a duty weapon, an off duty weapon, a smaller back-up weapon, a hunting rifle, a camp sidearm, a stainless for when I'm out on the boat, et cetera.
Over the years, I've collected multi-tools from Leatherman, Gerber, and SOG. I've found that they all have a purpose, and I keep different pieces around for different applications. While not exactly the tool that I would reach for if I had a repair to make, the Swiss Army offers unique advantages.
When camping, hunting, & fishing; this is the one I want in my back pack & tackle box. Can opener, bottle opener, file, saw, fish scaler, & knives are great in the outdoors. I've even used the magnifying glass to start a fire. The screwdrivers are a bit clumsy and awkward. I do like that little one hidden into the corkscrew. And while not suited for daily use, the little pen could do in a pinch for emergencies. The tweezers are great for pulling splinters & plucking eyebrows. I suppose the corkscrew will work if your Girl Scout troop insist upon chardonnay by the campfire.
The Swiss Army is known for the corkscrew, but the corkscrew is also awkward & clumsy. Ever try using one? You screw it into the cork - now what? You try to hold the bottle between your legs as you pull? Do you tell your girlfriend to grab the bottle & hold on tight, as you pull with all your might? A much better tool is now on the market. In my picnic kit, I keep a Leatherman Juice. While not a serious contender in the do-it-yourself & Mr. Fix-It categories, the Leatherman Juice is perfect for opening wine, opening cans, opening bottles, and cutting fruit & cheese. Excellent for the kitchen drawer, picnic basket, and lunch box. Get a real full size multi-tool, like a Gerber, SOG, or Leatherman, for your saddle bag, tool box & glove box. And for serious outdoor enthusiast, get a Swiss Army Knife.

In the days of ubiquitous backpacks, purses, and computer bags, it's super easy to carry around one of these "larger" Swiss Army knives. The Champion Plus is my favorite model, and I've had 3 of them before this one. Interesting observation about this one: the screwdriver and phillips head seem to be designed to more stay more securely in the perpendicular position.
