Addition for my addiction
on: December 03, 2013, 01:29:06 AM
I just acquired a Victorinox SwissChamp XXLT (model 1.6795.XXLT) for my growing collection.  Now if only I could find the SwissChamp XL...

Welcome to the forum. :waving: And a very cool SAK you have there. :dd:

Did it come without the bit in the second bit holder?

What other cool SAKs do you have in your collection? And are you mainly a Vic collector or is there some love for Wengers too. ;)

My "addiction" started around 1980 when my father gave me my first knife, the Victorinox Huntsman.  On our camping trips, I worked hard to find uses for each and every tool.  I was perfectly satisfied for a few years until I saw the Champion in a display case at a cutlery store in the local mall.  Wow!  I fell in love.  I had to have one.  After all, it was the biggest and baddest Victorinox.  Even bigger than MacGyver's.  Being a poor teenager, it was not easy but I saved and purchased one.  Naive as I was, I thought that model was going to be the king of the hill forever.   Of course, they came out with the SwissChamp.  Uggh!  OK, I saved some more money and bought one of those.  And so the quest goes.  I have about 15 knives today, but will not be satisfied until I get the Giant.  Like the old Depeche Mode song goes, I Just Can't Get Enough.  You guys understand....
