How I became a Swisschamp guy

For many years I was always the guy that said "anymore then 4 layers was to big and heavy". Today if I don't have my Swisschamp I feel naked. This is how I changed my opinion on bigger SAK's

It started with finding a pre 85 craftsman on the bay.I saw that square Phillips drive and mad a bid of $10 and won it. This thing spent it's life in someone's sock drawer. I would Carry it from time to time and found the extra layers of tools use full (pre 85 craftsman have a fish scaler instead of a pliers). I even used the scaler from time to time. This knife was in to good of condition to carry all the time and started to look for a replacement but I didn't want a Sc it was just to big and I don't need the pliers.

While looking for a replacement got my hands on a Deluxe Climber in a lot of saks I bought. I never used it till one day My Daughter asked for my help cleaning up a rental house. I grabbed the Deluxe Climber and for 2 days I used that little Vic pliers for everything.

That was the day I realized I really need a Sc. It's big it's heavy but worth every oz.

The swiss champ is a serious tool

I'd like to have one, but don't think I'd carry it all too often.

For a SAK, my Super Tinker has what I want. Not too often I need more, and if I do, I usually have an MT with me.

If I ever get one, I will most definitely carry it, and give it a go at being in my EDC rotation.
