One of the neatest tools.  The sheath makes me smile as I always think McDonalds.
:rofl:
Oh boy, I never noticed that is their colors also. And I eat there pretty often.  :cheers:

The Rescue Tool is a nice tool.  I keep mine in my car glove box.

There are more options available to me for a closer accessibility. One of the nice options of having a van! Really happy that I got it instead of the Jeep Gladiator.

Day 30 photos

The WorkChamp XL. The SwissChamp of the 111mm series! This is one that is best carried in a sheath. At a little over 1 1/2 inches, it is wide. And heavy. I do like the two inline Phillips that come in this model. The tool set on this one cross covers multiple past models. You have the shackle opener/marlin spike found on the marine series. You have hoof cleaner from the Equestrian. The seat belt cutter from the Rescue Tool. A large gutting blade from the Fireman. Pliers from the Tradesman. This model has you covered in the city, country, and on the water! It is a true work tool knife.

Nice one.  This is a biggun.  Its the kind of SAK that seem perfect for a pack/bag/kit of any kind.

Yes sir, it is! The only thing missing is the magnifying glass. Which doesn’t make an appearance on any 111mm knife. A shame!  :cheers:

I can’t believe the 30 days is over. This was the fastest  challenge I have ever done. Usually about 2 weeks in is when I start to slow down but this one was 3 weeks!

I agree.  I was shocked how wide it was next to the standard WorkChamp.
Congrats on completing your 30 day challenge!

Outstanding challenge.  It exposed me to some SAKs I never thought about before.

I do have to ask - To me it always seems like the wide knives like the WorkChamp XL would be awkward when using do to the width.  Do you find that the case?

The blades are at different levels when you are cutting. I have less control with the SwissChamp. I have better control with the WorkChamp XL because the position is better. With the regular size it’s not an issue.
