My favorite eras are ´88-´90 (thicker pliers, no hook) and ´99-´05 (latest pliers with crimper, bottle opener with locking nub, but old mag and thick main blade).

My other Champ is the first model, with the thinner pliers, grooved corkscrew, scissors with a screw, and no hook.  Gonna keep my eyes open for other variants now......
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

So I now have a Swisschamp after a long research of what Vic to buy. I'm mainly a pliers MT person, (Wave, Core, Swisstool) but wanted a more classic SAK to round out my collection. I essentially wanted a SAK with everything I could get (and not cost a fortune).

After some use and carry, there's only one word that I can use to describe my Swisschamp: Useful!

I wasn't sure I'd carry one as the Explorer is a pocket hog but I do love my Swisschamp as well.  I carry mine in a SOS/Survival Sheath and it rides so comfortable I forget its there.  I changed out the SOS/Survival pouch items and carry mostly 1st aid stuff instead.  Great tool set on this big guy without really being a pain to carry IMO.

I joined the club tonight with two NIB black SwissChamps on the way. Both have the older grey magnifier. I got them for a great price together so I couldn't pass them up.

I have 2 new Swisschamps. Would like to join club...
Had older that was beat up broken, got it replaced by warranty. I think older had better file, and better screwdriver in it. New screwdriver is so short.

I like that pouch Philby!  What model # is that?

I really don't like the typical fabric-lined leather pouches that Vic makes for larger SAKs.  That one looks like it's built more like a Zermatt-type pouch, which I really like.  Does it have a snap closure or velcro?

Thanks!  Unfortunately, I don't believe there is one available like that on my side of the pond.  I'll have to settle for a Zermatt, I suppose.

Thank you sir!  :salute:  That's pretty affordable.  Now... Can someone tell me if that has a snap or Velcro closure?  I think Velcro might break the deal for me...

Odd...  That link doesn't doesn't take me to the US Amazon site I'm familiar with, and it doesn't recognize my account.  Either way, I appreciate the effort guys  :cheers:, but I'm going to stick with the brass snap on the Zermatt.
