Swiss Champ vs. Swiss Champ XLT

Why is the XLT over $100 more? They look the same to me, besides the extra bits...

Its discontinued and its got quite a bit more. The driver being the big part of it, along with the hawkbill and electricians blade.

There are a good few extra bits, + like Zack said, it's discontinued.

When the SwissChamp XLT became discontinued ? because I think I saw it on 2008 catalog.

The XLT got 3 more layers then the SwissChamp:
1. Wrench and bits
2. pruning blade & electrician's blade
3. pharmaceutical spatula

I think it is too wide for everyday use and if you need a knife with bits you should go with CyberTool 29/34/lite depend on what tools you need.

Thanks for the replies guys!

Ninjaz, those pics are great! What tools are those from L to R?

I need a XLT!!

If you are into big SAKs, take a gander at the Workchamp XL.

I always thought of the SwissChamp as being a big SAK. Not any more though.

Great pics... Puts everything in perspective...

Yeah, but in a slightly exaggerated way... Not In a SURGE!! Beast way... (Get my point??)

I love those mammoth models, but in practice, I would much rather have 2 complimentary 4 or 5 layer SAKs versus 1 giant beast.

Maybe a Ranger and a Cybertool 34?

Me too - it just makes more sense. Even if it does mean more items in the pockets/belt etc a more comfortable handle is more than worth the space.

Those big SAKs are very cool though.

I didn't realise that they were as big as that

It looks a bit awkward to use.

Still want one though

Freudian Frog · **Reply #15 on:** July 23, 2009, 10:47:57 PM

HUUUUUUUUUUGE!

Still want, but not for EDC, hell no... XD

Unless it comes in some kind of awesome wooden case that's awesome and stuff. =O

Yes, the SwissChamp white scale was cracked. At the time I took that picture I only had one SwissChamp and I was using it. The first picture (the one with the red scales SwissChamp) is more recent, now I got more then one SwissChamp.
