Only kidding... it's an Explorer....
I spent about 10 years carrying a SOG Crosscut, and was just SO happy with it. Then when the scissors started to dull, I went looking for the ultimate tool to replace it.And... I found MTO.And there goes all my money. Today, I got a used, great condition Vic Huntsman in the mail. Monday, I got a Mountaineer and Fisherman in the mail, oh, and a Classic that slipped in for the ride. On the 8th, I got a Climber, Tinker, and Waiter.But wait, there's MORE. On the 10th, I got a Colonial made Camp knife. On the 11th, I got a used Leatherman Micra, On the same day I got the Mountaineer and fisherman, I ALSO got a 1981 Camillus 'Demo' knife. I have a new Vic Pioneer and German Army Knife on the way. Those are just the KNIVES. Not counting the plier-based tools.Hope, just HOPE that the madness sticks JUST to Swiss Army Knives, because once it spreads to plier based tools as well... kiss your life savings goodbuy.
Butch, you've only been here since October? It feels like much longer.
You're only getting started!In addition to the Swiss Champ, there's the SC XL,SC XLT, SC XAVT, etc.Also a variety of other Swiss Champs, stag, mother of pearl, wood, etc.(Enablers are Us! )
More temptations!

Butch,When you first joined, it was so cool that a Father-Son team was on MT.o, with your son Douglas.But, during the CAK-gate(tm) scandal, I did not think you would stay on MT.o for long. BUT! You took the ribbing like a gentleman and ended up reunited with your beloved Champs after some time.Fast forward to now and most look forward to reading about your Vics and history with the Champs! Did this site contribute to your expanding SAK collection? Yes.Is collecting beautiful/useful knives a bad habit? I think not. As some members of my family have said about my MT collecting: "He could be doing worse".

Douglas knows it, maybe you can get him to tell you about his old onery pappy............ Oh and thank you for the kind words.

Incorperating SAK terminology in discussions! It's a fun hobby though Butch, and like my dad says, "It's cheaper than collecting guns!".
