The MiniChamp is pretty cool.  :drink:
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

After carrying a 4-layer SAK, it feels like I'm not carrying a SAK when I have had this Mini my pocket the last two days.
I was going to carry the MiniChamp to the dentist tomorrow, but I'm going to have to go with my 4-layer for security.  :climber:  :ahhh

I can relate to wanting to carry the 4-layer SAK...it does give you more confidence. :D

The Mini is nice because it is light enough that it can be carried in addition to another knife. It fits nicely in the watch pocket of a pair of jeans. :cheers:

I'm working on a little collection of MiniChamps and I am finding out that the XL is going to be the hardest to obtain.
But to my question, I was looking in the SAKWiki and I'm curious if there should be a distinction between the two pen variants.
Both pens are in the scales, but they are as follows:

1) Retractable with the grey sliding lever.
2) Removable, no lever.

Edit: I'm noticing on this Signature model page, it's just one line that states: Retractable or Removable pen.

I have 2 Mini Champs with the retractable pen....you can open the cuticle pusher to extend  the handle to make it easier to write.

Is there a way to tell the difference between a Victorinox Silver Alox MiniChamp and a SwissBianco version from 2011?  I think mine is a SwissBianco, but I cannot be sure, my order is on an older computer.
Mine does not have the word Victorinox on the plate on the back, it's just blank.

Thank you Vicman, I do still love it if it is original or not.  Perhaps some day I'll find one in the original box and then I can remove all doubt.  :cheers:

I have:
7-tool MiniChamp
8-tool MiniChamp
8-tool Midnite MiniChamp
10-tool MiniChamp XL
8-tool Alox 2011 from SwissBianco

Congratulations.

Maybe there is missing to get it completed a Minichamp with removable pen, as first versions of Minichamp II didn't have the retractable pen.

Here it is my MC collection, look at up-left one.
I am still missing Lite & XL versions.

What does the minichamp xl have over the regular? I see the two-pronged thing, but what is it? Also, it looks like a third blade? Or is that something else?
