Swiss Champ Challenge?
on: June 11, 2021, 05:32:49 PM
Any interest in a Swiss Champ challenge sometime this year?  To be honest, I can't keep up with all of the challenges going on  :D so if you are, let me know what month might work, and I'll run with it.  I'd open it up to the Champion owners and Wenger Tool Chest owners too.

I guess I could be lured out of my temporary retirement for a Swisschamp challenge. I would much prefer if the SC were the only admissible SAK though. It's quite iconic and anybody who doesn't own one would be unworthy to participate in the challenge anyway...  ;) Any month would be fine for me, I am not planning with any challenges at the moment.

Be good to have you aboard Simon!  The badge for this is set up around the big SAKs from both manufacturers.

I'll bite Barry having missed a challenge earlier this year by not paying enough attention. Rather than lug one around on a pair of shorts here during the northern hemisphere summer I'd reckon Autumn would work for me so maybe October ? You could include a Halloween SC root vegetable carving challenge to wrap it up too...

The timing probably won't work, but it would be really interesting to do the Swiss Champ Challenge next month, right after the Pocket Rocket Challenge. Hit both extremes back to back.

I wouldn't mind that either Steve, but I'm in the Dean51 Challenge.  I'm leaning towards the Fall.  I agree with Phil in that it would be easier to pack the mighty Swiss Champ then.  That, and I think I might actually have a challenge free month :rofl:

Fall works for me. The last SC Challenge "took on a life of its own"? You have me intrigued.

What's the Dean51 Challenge?

So, how is this not the same as the SAK Stack challenge? :dunno:

" Start a new thread and post a photo of a SAK Cybertool (any variant), Swisschamp or Toolchest  for thirty (30) consecutive days."

Dean51 is a dear departed member who really liked traditional pocket knives such as congress, stockman, barlow, etc.  We honor his memory by carrying a trad for 30 days.

Thank you, Alan. Very nice idea.

A traditional was my very first knife. I must have been 8, maybe 10? It's long gone now. All I remember is wood scales and two very stiff blades. At least stiff for my small kid hands at the time.

Interesting! I liked the Roger Moore show when I was young but never became aware of this.  Thanks for sharing :tu:

By "taking on a life of its own" that Challenge grew to over a hundred pages with many participants.   At the time, that didn't happen very often  :rofl:

OK.....this may sound extreme.....but then the Swiss Champ is no shrinking violet.

What about a Swiss Champ 60-day challenge?

August and September!

We could call it.... The Go Big Challenge

Anyone feel like taking a big bite on that lure?  :dunno:
