Today my NIB XLT arrived. :mail: So I'm in!

As far as I can say today: This is my absolute dream SAK.
I have my beloved Ranger for EDC.
I have my robust Harvester for outdoor activities.
But this is so awesome. Wasn't sure if it is not too big to handle it well.
No doubt it isn't. It fits perfectly into my large hands. :D

And as a bonus: The price was 99€. >:D

So for the rest of the day nothing can bring me back from cloud #9.
:climber:

If love to see some pics of the XLT   :drool:

:worthless:

I recently bought this Swiss Champ. It is my first "proper" SAK. I've always carried Leathermans ever since I start carrying a multitool a few years ago. So far I am enjoying it a lot. Been playing with this tool more than my LMs lately!

I have a Champion but traded my Champ away a while back. That is something I need to correct soon. I do have a Wenger Tool Chest Plus up in the collection . tom.  :sak:

One of my favorite tools on the Swisschamp is the pliers so I would never get along with a Champion.

Me too, I traded my Champion away for the same reason.  I think I'll get a Swisschamp with the new mag glass as mine are all older ones.

Well, I'm in with:

A Supertimer (SwissChamp with Timekeeper scales)
(Image removed from quote.)

SwissChamp XLT (No picture  :()

And a SwissChamp XAVT
(Image removed from quote.)

I do think the Cybertool 41 should be a member of this club too.  It really is the modern SwissChamp.
Wow..love them.

When I first joined this forum a few months ago,I advertised WTB a Vic two pouch SOS kit.A fellow member from Europe sent a PM to me and stated he had one and the term SOS wasn't appropriate as it was a Survival Kit. He went on to state that the price point,at which I wanted to buy,wasn't possible.

So I kept my eye opened for a possible chance to buy a two pouch survival kit and I bid on this one which was listed on ebay.The owner claimed it was near new and he only carried the champ a few times.I took a chance the seller was telling the truth and made my bid.I was surprised when I won the auction.

When the package arrived I was pleasantly surprised to discover that not only the seller was forthright in his description of the Vic but that he sent the original box and instructions as well.My faith in human nature was reaffirmed.LOL.
