New Champion.

[Gareth]

Well new to me anyway.    No point to this thread other than to boast and thank Neil  .  I was always fairly against bigger SAKs, I normally put SAKs in my trouser pocket and find anything more than three layers to bulky.  But for some reason I've still ended up with a few larger ones ( stop that  ).  Neil also sent alone some of his last green scales and I think they are just fantastic  proper British Racing Green if you ask me.




Also in the pic are a Handyman and a Swisschamp.

[Neil]

Very nice

Show off

I like the colour.....purdy 

[cliosguy]

yeah, nice color

[Gareth]

As Neil suggested it's a pretty close match for a green Clipper lighter.  the SAK is a tone or two darker though.

Oi!   Half the cars in F1 are built in Britain you know.     

So far this year it's been the Ferrari's breaking down, and it's another Brit at the top of the drivers championship.     

[nuphoria]

Mmm, green good.

And Neil good too 

[rp252]

Nice piece of kit mate.  Like the scales alot.  The green gives it a bit of a regal look, very nice.

Rich.

  I like it Gareth I have been dabbling with the idea of getting a Champion or a Swisschamp the last while of the 2 which would you get first and why?

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Swisschamp, it's not much bigger, and those pliers are generally quite useful

[Ben X]

Well I'll be weird Poncho and say I'd get a Champion if I were you. I'm assuming you will still have one of your multi's near all the time, so the pliers would be dead weight on a SAK. I have both, and the Champion is overall more pleasant, but if you are just taking one tool into the woods or putting it in your glovebox the Swiss Champ is the obvious... Champ
Now don't disappoint us, buy both and then do a comparison thread! Just kidding! 

























(kinda)

Like many here, I have both and must say the Champion is GREAT when paired with a plier based MT.  Its easier to carry and slightly less bulky.

However, if I don't carry a MT then the Champ wins hands down as those pliers (as weak as they are when compared to say a LM) are worth their weight in gold.

Just my initial thoughts 

[Poncho65]

Thanks guys I was leaning towards the Champion for the plier reason anyways but I wanted some opinions Still may get both in time

[Buzzbait]

I find the little pliers of the Swisschamp to be quite handy. They're not Swisstool strong or anything, but they do get by in a pinch.

+1 for then Champ my pliers have been used for everything up to and including wart removal

[cliosguy]

question, swisschamp or craftsman?

[Craig]

question, swisschamp or craftsman?

I'd say swisschamp. The magnifier is great  - I never realised how useful they are until I got my champ . Also the philips screwdriver is in a better position.

That said, the champ is a bit bulkier - you should probably get both

So Buzz who have you been pinching??

So Buzz who have you been pinching??

Random womens' butts on the street. The usual. I used to use my fingers, but the Swisschamp makes the job soooooo much easier.

When a bottom needs pinching I am old school , I use the original tool .... me digits 

[Buzzbait]

But with this Swisschamp, I can literally be caught "red handed".
