Outstanding! Bring the crew my friend!!Will do my friend - They'll need to help me carry it!
I've never had a Swisschamp before. :oCourage Mon Brave :salute:
The 'champ seems dauntingly large. I never understood how such complex and big multi could be actually used, in the field, in vivo, as it were. So I shied away, sticking to 2-layer, 3-layer, and a maximum of 4-layer SAKs.
However, as a Swiss Army Knight in relatively good standing, I feel somewhat duty bound to give this legendary SAK a chance to prove it's mettle. And metal.
So, for this challenge I will finally have a mighty SwissChamp! :SAKnight:
(and I'm a little scared here.....)
Do Champions count? Because that's what I've got. I know the model number for it at present is based off the Swiss Champ. Need to get new scales for it, I borrowed the Plus scales to go on another knife.
Very glad Barry and FB gives us sufficient notice; I think I'm going to start going to the gym to get in shape......

Great to see more people joining up.
(Mostly because I think I'll need the support and encouragement. Is it true these weigh 4.25# without the T&T?)
Did it break your scale?
Still in doubt...It will be fun... :tu:
I've got one in my work bag as a backup... might just put it on my belt.

With 30 tools in its handle, the Swiss Champ is the ultimate evolution of the Swiss Army knife (the original had four blades). I've carried one for years, and I have used just about all its tools. People make fun of it until the day when they sheepishly ask to use it. Years ago, my car was broken into and the thief left a negotiable check untouched - but he took my Swiss Champ.

Just to be clear, I haven't ordered one yetAnd I didn't sign Butch up... :rofl: :rofl:

For me joining this Champ Challenge is more about honoring Butch. :hatsoff: For most of the 18 years I spent growing up in his home he used the Champ as the primary tool to put food on the table, clothes on our backs, and keep a roof over our heads. Then another 9 years for my Sister and then untill he retired my Mom. Really to this day the Swisschamp is still taking care of them, he would't have all that retirement if it hadn't been at his side all those years.
THANKS DAD!! :salute:

I'll defer to Barry on this but from my point of view if you're carrying more than layers than a SwissChamp you're eligible. :tu:
Never Give Up. Never Surrender!
You got me beat! I had to endure Sleepless in Seattle :facepalm:
Absolutely! Any Swisschamp variant is not only eligible but should also be fun!
I'll be joining in with my (slightly modified) rebuilt '92 SC. Since I have been carry Climbers so much lately, I'll start off slow by doing Climber type stuff with it. :D

I've never had a Swisschamp before. :o
The 'champ seems dauntingly large. I never understood how such complex and big multi could be actually used, in the field, in vivo, as it were. So I shied away, sticking to 2-layer, 3-layer, and a maximum of 4-layer SAKs.
I'm sorry guys but you can cross me off the list.. I can't justify buying one just for the challenge right now. I might get one later for the collection but it's way over my sweetspot in layers and I have another mod in the pipeline that will come first.Dude, you just put up the finances for a shotgun wedding! No wonder you're skint. :cheers:
However I will follow the challenge from the sidelines

I am the year of the Dragon :DAmong all the 12 mathematical animal signs, the Monkey also has the most tacit understanding with the Dragon people. The cunning Rat can also be a good partner with the Dragon to make something big. The Dragon people can live happily and likely with the Snake, for the Snake can prevent the Dragon from behaving outrageously. People under the signs of the Rooster, Pig, Rabbit, Goat, Tiger, and Horse like to be friends with the Dragon, as they admire the Dragon's beautiful bearing and strength. Also, two Dragons can get along well with each other. However, the relationship between the Dragon and the Ox people is usually tense, because both of them are very majestic. The people whom the Dragon feels headaches with the most are the Dog people. They feel uncomfortable due to the Dog's close guard.

But this is a reasonable price :tu:
And take my chances
I am not spending that much money :D
Heinnies is a great company too :tu:... I imagine you already know this though.

I'd love to participate, but first have to source a SwissChamp somewhere.Good Luck Mac :cheers:
Perhaps I can loan my dad's for a month.
For now I'm off to the auction websites. I've got a few days left before it starts, I'll report back when I've got one.
Hey, Butch, you've had a few SwissChamps in your time. Can you show us a photo or two of your oldest SwissChamp? Any favorite tools or uses? Any tools that you might think of as being extraneous? Any that never get used? :think::popcorn:
Only took two days :cheers: :like:Thats great! I buy a lot of stuff on eBay and on occasion have had stuff get from California to Florida in 2 days, but usually its 4 to 5. :tu:

I had forgotten that your Champs had been back for spa treatment.

Who Pabloed the list? :think:
Very nice sheath it’s the
same design as my XLT pouch :like:
And like you said a proper snap would be better :tu:
I have to say, this is a hefty, not-so-little tool.
I'm very impressed, because my postal carrier carried this from her Jeep to the front door by herself.
The array of tools is simply dizzying. I'm not sure if I love it or hate it. I guess that is what the challenge is awl about! :viking:

Yeah.... but look at it! :dd:
I had to be sure I had the right tool and would be ready for the challenge!:iagree: Well yeah! I would have done the same thing!

It is not hard to get used to, and after thinking about it, I would add a little. It might help others in this challenge. Before retiring I was a repairman for all major appliances, HVAC, and commercial appliances, & commercial refrigeration. As I have stated here before the Champ was my main goto for close to 50 years, Ok the Champion for some of it. There was not a blade anywhere on that knife that did not get very regular use. I used them all and I would venture a guess that at least 40% of my service calls were completed without ever opening a toolbox.

The fun is taking a tool and finding a new way to use it. That fish scaler is a great straight line rule for marking to cut a piece of trim, for example. It's also a great spreader for cream cheese on a bagel! The only limit is the limits of your imagination!

I was thinkning about changing to Emerald scales on my SwissChamp, but free shipping turned into $11,- which totals the scales at $25,-
So I'll have to pass on that.

I've never had a Swisschamp before. :o
The 'champ seems dauntingly large. I never understood how such complex and big multi could be actually used, in the field, in vivo, as it were. So I shied away, sticking to 2-layer, 3-layer, and a maximum of 4-layer SAKs.
As a Swisschamp owner :iagree: It's too heavy, bulky and not ergonomic. The fixed key chain loop bites into your palm when you attempt to use the inline philips. :/
What keychain loop? :think: :D
I carried my SC for years and never had a problem with useability. Even when I'm not carrying it, I still use it quite a lot. :tu:

That'll work! :cheers:
Well, it is a quiet and taciturn bunch of participants, so we might not see all that many posts........ :rofl::rofl:
The important thing here, Greg, is that you not get hurt or injure yourself, or irreparably damage your trousers.
That sheath you pictured looks like it would....with an adequately strong and sturdy belt...serve your needs well. Just take care of yourself here! This challenge isn't worth getting hurt over!
It turns out I have a sheath that will handle the Swisschamp, with enough room for a bed roll above it
I am sure this is the Merit Badge for the SwissChamp challenge
Would that include a CyberChamp Lite too? :D

Too bad camo does not come in plus scales...
I've never had a Swisschamp before. :o
The 'champ seems dauntingly large. I never understood how such complex and big multi could be actually used, in the field, in vivo, as it were. So I shied away, sticking to 2-layer, 3-layer, and a maximum of 4-layer SAKs.
As a Swisschamp owner :iagree: It's too heavy, bulky and not ergonomic. The fixed key chain loop bites into your palm when you attempt to use the inline philips. :/
What keychain loop? :think: :D
I carried my SC for years and never had a problem with useability. Even when I'm not carrying it, I still use it quite a lot. :tu:
Whoa. Did you grind it off or is this a different variation of the same model? :think:
I put a no keyring spring in when I rebuilt it. Details here > https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,74421.msg1574345.html#msg1574345

Way to go Ray!Hi Barry - thanks - :cheers:
My personal philosophy on carrying the SC was yes it is kind of large & heavy but nowhere near what my toolbox was. If it saves carrying that heavy monster just one service call a day it was worth it. Belive me it saved many more toolbox carries than one a day. :tu:I hear that and when I was to do a call on HVAC it was a stripped down bag with just the basics. That took care of 95 percent of the work from that heavy tool bag, the big boy bag. :tu:

Outstanding Monrogue! :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
After trying a sheath and not caring for it, I've settled on suspending the Champ in my pocket, it practically disappears next to my wallet :cheers:
A little tip
When attaching a carry system to the Champ, I use a lobster claw rather than attaching directly to the key ring. That way it can be removed and not get in the way while working.
Love the pouch :dd: :like:

I've ordered a small pocket clip like the one you pictured, there. I don't expect to get it for a week or so. I'll either stick with my sheath (and a stout belt) or just pocket carry it as it is (with a stout belt).

It's getting so exciting awaiting the start of this challenge!Great to have you with us on this Challenge!
I'd love to join in if it is okay that I carry my Vagabond with me every day.
I wouldn't use the Vagabond during the 30 day challenge, I'd only use the SwissChamp, I'll police myself :police:
I just have to have that Vagabond on my person as it is my security blanket and sentimental attachment.
Let me know, if not, I'll happily cheer from the sidelines. :cheers:

Can’t wait to start tomorrow :woohoo:
Just to get you warmed up here's a few things Barry and I thought might make the Challenge more fun through January.
In Challenge Mini-Challenges:
To keep things really buzzing, and with credit to FolderBeholder for a good idea, there will be some mini-challenges for your in-challenge enjoyment and distraction. There might even be prizes. You don’t have to take part unless you want to. The first mini challenge will be announced in Week 2. After that keep your wits about you and your eyes peeled. We’ll set out the rules of a mini- challenge when it’s announced.
A couple of other things ...
Playing your Joker. Everyone in the Challenge gets one Joker. Just in case you have an inconvenient day during the month when you really can’t carry your SwissChamp you may swap out for another SAK provided that you post a pic of the swap with a Joker playing card and explain why you’ve had to do so. You can’t swap out if your belt gives way carrying your SwissChamp in a pouch. You can if it helps promote good back health!
DoubleChamp Mondays. Fans of MiniChamp Monday will want to carry both of these superb multitools and if you have one we encourage you to carry both on Mondays. We know you’ll get a great warm glow and everyone’s admiration* for being a DoubleChamp.

Sorry to hear that Mechy. :cry:
Anyway, well... I had a great night, I had loads of: really good prosecco, cognac, belgian chocolate, after eights, terry's chocolate orange, whiskey liqueurs, more cognac, cheese n buscuits including stilton, a rather good but stinky camamber, cambazola, that cranberry cheese stuff you always get at Christmas, more prosecco (I was starting to get tired of it now), more really good cognac, more belgian chocolates, another terry's chocolate orange... then I made myself sick just like the Romans and had everything all over again... It was like a Greek Dionysian orgy... Then...
I like the drunk o'clock reference. Anyway, without a lot of further ado, here is my
Day 1 pic
OK, a tad murky, but I think I can be excused....?

Happy New Year everyone!
My mind went to new year resolutions, so I made a game board and decided to play Spin the Champ!
Spin one landed between sell off duplicates and participate in more challenges. I didn't take a photo of that spin as it wasn't a clear winner.
So spin again I must, and I landed directly on buy more SAKs! :woohoo: I thought I better do a best out of three, so check out the results on spin 3. :tu: :cheers:

Happy New Year everybody!
Now that the smoke has settled here in the Netherlands I'm cleaning up after the party.
We played some games and had great fun.
There were some amazing fireworks to be seen.
I can't write a daily post untill the day is over, so consider this a prologue.

Matterhorn Plus, Champion, SwissChamp, MiniChamp
The star of this challenge will be the SwissChamp, with guest appearances of the MiniChamp.
For comparison the Champion, the predecessor of the SwissChamp and it's competitor at the time, the Wenger Matterhorn Plus.
Fot this challenge I can use a Joker, and I have a Victorinox stock of cards for that. I'd much prefer to leave it in it's packaging, so don't count on me using it. :D
(https://i.imgur.com/czj8pYE.jpg)
I'm really looming foreward to this challenge and I think we are going to have some great fun!
Looking good so far, y'all! :like:Wow...that’s very nice! :like: :tu:
Here is the main Champ that I am using for the challenge. Sapphire scaled SwissChamp. Newer model with stainless file and transparent lens mount.

Day 01
The water in my region (not far from the Bavarian Alps) is very hard, so you'll get limestone everywhere, especially where you don't want it to be.
Yesterday the flush made some strange noises.
So it's time to pack out the XLT and use the mightytoiletbottle opener. Removed some lime and then closed it again. Should work for another couple of months.
Day 1Nice :like:

Day 1
Used the can opener to help assemble a suspension clip for pocket carry.
I don't even notice it in my jeans pocket! :tu:
One of our cats was hiding under the recliner chair:iagree: I feel sorry for the
animals with all those bangs :ahhh
My dog hides in the closet, sometimes I join him. :D
It’s so sad to see them like that ???
Yeah, that annoyed me a bit last night too. I don't mind, Infact quite like, the well managed/ official stuff, it's when arsehole neighbours randomly blew up bfo fireworks in their back gardens without any warning/consideration for anyone else that really smurfs me off! Mr P was quite disturbed by it all. It's times like that when I miss being on the farm.

Anyway, what are you making again?
Excellent!
I'm doing this later as well, I need all the luck I can get. :cheers:
Very interesting :tu: :like:Anyway, what are you making again?
It's called Hoppin' John. Nobody is quite sure why; theories abound.
It a traditional Southern US dish in the 'Rice & Beans' category, probably of ancient African origin. It's made with beans (usually black-eyed peas), pork (ham, hocks, or bacon), onions, and rice. Usually a hot pepper of some kind, plus other stuff, if you like
It's considered humble food and is eaten to remind you to be humble. Some people think the peas represent coins...uh, OK...and bring luck and goof fortune. "Eat poor the first day of the year and you'll eat rich the rest of the year." :tu:

My mind went to new year resolutions, so I made a game board and decided to play Spin the Champ!
Spin one landed between sell off duplicates and participate in more challenges. I didn't take a photo of that spin as it wasn't a clear winner.
So spin again I must, and I landed directly on buy more SAKs! :woohoo: I thought I better do a best out of three, so check out the results on spin 3. :tu: :cheers:

I heard a story that the French (maybe Creole) term for "pigeon peas" is "pois a pigeon". It has been suggested that Anglos, hearing this strange term, mutated it into "Hoppin' John".
I suspect the truth is lost to time......
I've also seen a reference to a cookbook that predates the American Civil War that lists "Hoppin' John". I'll see if I can dig up a reference.....

For you, Fuzzy, yes. :tu: Maybe the the guys making their versions will post up photos, too? :pok:
The little asterisk leads to a footnote saying the dish is made from rice and bacon. My reading of the reference makes it sounds less than completely appetizing..... Which would be wrong. It's delicious! :tu:

Just getting started here, I've been making my simple vegan version for about 20 years, still undecided on adding diced jalapeños to my basic recipe. Putting enough jalapeños will get you hoppin'!

I dress mine with jalapeños when I serve it. Mrs Nix doesn't like hers to be too spicy, but I sneak a little cayenne in....for tradition's sake. :tu:

I understand! :tu: I actually eat blackeye peas year round, once in a while I'll do a very hot southwest chipotle variation, which if I'm not careful, I can keep all to myself. ;)
I'm pretty good at judging salt and other seasonings, but when it comes to hot I need other opinions, I have built up a pretty high tolerance... :facepalm:

Windy out in SoCal today!
Got my Hoppin John on the stove right now and it is smelling so good!I like it! Both the food and the history! :tu:
In November of 1864, Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's army marched through the South all the way to the sea. His soldiers pillaged anything of any use to them and destroyed everything else. However, they left the stores of blackeyed peas intact since blackeyed peas were considered trash, fit only for livestock to eat. After Sherman's army left the region, all that was left for the people to eat were blackeyed peas, so they began cooking and eating them. This was good luck for the southern people and the remaining troops because at least they wouldn't starve. Blackeyed peas became a symbol of good luck and prosperity for another year, and the tradition was born. They are supposed to resemble coins, and coins mean prosperity.
So, black eyed peas signify coins, greens (usually cabbage, but anything green will do) represents dollar bills, and the cornbread or yellow rice that we eat with the Hoppin John represents gold - all symbols of prosperity. Now, what I can't tell you is why it is called Hoppin John. That was probably just the name of the person who created the recipe. :drool:

Shortly before midnight the excange took place. My trusty Handyman takes a backseat this month and the SwissChamp will take it's place as my EDC.
While not a whole lot different than the Handyman, it adds two layers; a magnifying lens, philips screwdriver and fishscaler. Because of it's age there is no crimping tool on the pliers.
It's first duty was opening a bottle of beer.

(https://i.imgur.com/5dWkRpym.jpg)
We ate some oliebollen for new year and the SwissChamp got to watch. I made sure not to get any powdered sugar on the hinges.
After midnight we played games. Which made for a nice photo oppertunity with the co-star of this challenge; the MiniChamp.
(https://i.imgur.com/WC5Fees.jpg)
On the way to my father in law we had to fuel up and I used the pen to write the milage down. Unfortunately the pen didn't work. This SwissChamp has spent it's entire life on a shelf, which is about 20 or so years. Bummer.
Then it cut a sausage. Really tasty and the Large Blade is a bit awkward to handle to be honest. It's offset way off center.
(https://i.imgur.com/jywNJvdm.jpg)
Finally I cut some points from a coffee package. I only need 13.600 points for a coffee maker, so I'm 100 point closer to my goal :D

I found an apple and attacked: holding the apple in the left hand, knife in right hand, I was able to take sequential slices without difficulty. The big handle feels a bit awkward, but didn't prove to be a problem.

Mactire - Day 2Some good usages! :tu:
Not to many pictures today. Today was kind a busy, so I didn't use the SC a lot during the day.
However, during glaucoma checkups the scissors proved invaluable when I needed to cut up some post-its.
(https://i.imgur.com/lBlKcgH.jpg)
I mainly work in the dark or low-light environments so the picture quality is so-so.
I use small post-its to cover up one eye to check visual acuity.
Because knives are not really accepted around these parts I warned my patient beforehand. The patient did like the SC however.
Besides that I scratched the SAK out of the pen, which failed me yesterday. It took some effort to get it to work again.
The good news is, now I have a working pen.
Further use of the SC:
Used the large blade to open a gift
Used the scissors to remove a size label from a bra
A quick note on carrying the SwissChamp. It does not carry much differently than a Handyman.

Those are quite neat. Made by Wollensak, the Allscope binocular glasses have 2x-3x magnification. And unlike many that look like them(for reading/detail work), they are used for nearsightedness. Kind of like 20th century opera glasses. 8)

Again a day at work. It's challenges like this that really show how much use I get out of a SAK. While conducting visual field exams one of the trial lenses came loose.
Usually this get used until the screw fall out and then the lens is replaced. I used the micro screwdriver to tighten the screw.
(https://i.imgur.com/5GTwchd.jpg)
While waiting for my next patient I figured to take a look at the age of the SC. I didn't date any of the SAKs I got in the last batch. I assumed they are all from the 90s.
Looking at the tools I date this champ between 1992 and 1995, based on the scissors and the pliers (SAAMs)
EDIT: This thread is blowing up! And even though I really like it I find it hard to keep up with reading everything. So after posting I had to track back 5 pages. But I really like every-bodies posts and I'm glad to see the SC get's so much love and use.
@Rapidray, I thought about printing the schematic. But I don't think it'll hold up 30 days of marking down uses.
@the 1000 day old Gouda cheese, that's right around the corner for me! About 10km! I'll see if I can pick up a 1000 day old piece myself. Looks very tasty!

It's a shock jumping back to 91mm sized tools after packing 58/74 mm knives isn't it? :DIt really is! At first I thought how am I going to do this with such big scissors, but it turned out to be no problem and in fact the 91mm are quite robust and cut the nail so easily.
Powernoodle Day 4I think a lot of people are! You can visit one page and get so many prices and press a button and have in just about no time!

Day 4Great photo...that 58 is just so small compared to the 91.
I had to trim a fingernail and was astounded at the size of the SwissChamp scissors! For the past few months I've been using the 58mm sized scissors.

I'll be putting mine to use replacing an outlet later today, pics to follow. In the meantime, a vanity shot!I have...my hand is totally in a different position and feels like I have lost control of the cutting because with smaller layers I can grip completely while with the SC my hand grip is like the letter C and not complete.
I'm an odd ball in many ways :facepalm:, One of them is that I write, do detail work, etc. with my left hand and shoot, bat, etc. with my right. I usually is a knife in my left hand. Has anyone felt encumbered by the Swisschamp blade being so far to one side by it's girth? I really don't mind it, but just curious.
Thanks Ray! :cheers::cheers:

Put mine to use replacing an electrical outlet today. It worked incredibly well as a tool box in a pocket! The pliers performed flawlessly in bending wire to fit behind the connection screws. The only shortcoming I encountered was the lack of a good wire cutter, but I really didn't need one except in one spot and I improvised with the pliers anyhow.

I normally carry a Leatherman or Spirit when I go fishing, but the SwissChamp seemed up to the task, so they stayed home. I'm hoping to give it another shot before the challenge is over. :tu:
Day 2Seriously? I never knew I had to turn that little screwdriver the other way around in the corkscrew.
Used SwissChamp today to tighten my glasses screw and also used Phillips to screw lock away from drawer.

Day 5
UNFORTUNATELY!! :cry: :cry:
I must report the first Champ Fail. Had to file down a burr in a small recess of the plastic opening on my cell phone. Due to the cutting teeth of the file not extending to the end I had to resort to using my Spirit. I would have prefered the finer cut of the Champ file but due to the shape of the space there was no way to get the Champ file to the burr. No picture of the burr because the cell phone is the camera also, so just a file comparison.
DAY 5Sounds interesting, especially the spicy part! :tu:
ROUND II
The Champ may have had A fail, BUT he sure knows how to spice up a GREAT come back.

Mactire - Day 5Sounds like you had a great day!
Today is a day of, but some things had to be done. We ended up at the shopping center early in the morning (1000h is early on my day of).
We had a lovely breakfast, one all the Dutch are probably familiar with.
(https://i.imgur.com/FhjeXE7m.jpg)
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful for the SwissChamp. I did decide that I am going to keep the scales as-is. These scales are original to that time.
I do like the SC enough however to get another one and rescale that one with fancy scales.
EDIT: I forgot I went grocery shopping. The pen was used to make a list and to tick off the items in my cart in the store.

After a day of walking through the city it was time for a well deserved bath. I'm a huge fan of bath bombs, fizzers and fancy smelling bath soaps.
But out bath is small. It's one you have to sit in. That does mean I can halve most of the products and get double the use out of it.
Anyone familiar with Lush knows the fantastic smell of their products. Usually I stay away from products with glitter, but this one smells awesome, it's easy to split and it was on sale (so I bought two ::))
(https://i.imgur.com/Nbtf9sTm.jpg?1)
The real challenge was no to get any glitter on the SC :o
For now, the challenge is going well. The added layers on the SC don't bother me and I can carry it like my Handyman.
Like the Handyman there are a lot of tools you don't use on a daily basis, at least I don't. The tally chart I made is coming along nicely.
I'm very curious to the end result!
Day 6 - adding some holes to the tool holder

A little maintenance and think I will hit the water later on today.
What are you fishing for Rapidray :think: :tu:Here in Orlando its bass, and pan fish...and really, anything that will bite and fight! Like the night I caught one and when I finally got it to me, it was a 2 foot baby gator! It wasn’t a catch and release...it was cut, released, and run...surly mom was somewhere near!
Day 6That a good ideal...great for watching movies!
Sometimes I want my phone to be propped up and not flat on the desk, so I pulled up the Phillips and magnifier to create a resting spot for the phone:

A cup of espresso in the morning isn't complete without a sweet.
The scissors opened a pack of cookies for me.

The rest of the day I did a lot of running around only to arrive back home for dinner.
I had some bread and cheese. A very fine cheese. And the Large Blade worked perfectly.
(Although I secretly want a 111mm cheese knife now ::))

My tablet died today. I spend a good couple of hours looking for a new one. How is this relevant? You'll see. :D
And that concludes the 6th day of the challenge.

As long as you can call opening a package food prep.

No pic yet...also started sawing part of an old toothbrush to make one that fits between SAK liners. Not sure why I haven't mad one of these yet.
I love this challenge! New ideas from everyone and proving to myself why I already love Champs!
It's the Second Week of the Challenge folks !Oh boy, this is going to be interesting! :tu:
That means it's time for ..... [drum roll]
The SwissChamp Challenge Week 2 Classic Mini Challenge
The theme for this mini-challenge is “Food and drink from where you are”. To enter you need to post a pic of your SwissChamp with an item of food or drink which is local and distinctive to where you are. You’ll need to explain what the tasty treat or refreshing beverage is but you were going to do that anyway weren’t you?
And then ….. you’ll see a pic of the side of my Timekeeper with this post. You simply have to guess the time (12 hour clock format please) showing on the front scale of the Timekeeper. Nearest guess to the time shown wins. Of course I’m not telling you if she’s showing the right time but she’s ticking away happily smirking at the mini challenge.
Barry has the pic of the Timekeeper showing the time and his decision is final. One entry each so think carefully !
Prizes ? Of course there are two classic prizes.
The winner will receive this New in Blister Jelly Blue Classic and an Adnams brewery tea towel.
The runner up will receive this Victorinox Classic fragrance tester (“A Masculine Fragrance for the Independent Man”) or a Victorinox Swiss Army Altitude fragrance tester (“A Stimulating fragrance to awaken the Spirit”) obtained from the London Victorinox shop and an Adnams brewery tea towel.
Entries by midnight on Saturday 12th January. Please post your name in an orderly numbered list, copying the up to date list and paste it into your post as usual

SwissChamp helped open a local Montana beer, "Yellowstone Beer". This delightful golden ale is made right here in my home town from Montana barley. It is named after a fairly well-known local park. It is a medium-hopped, slightly malty ale with light citrus notes.....perfect for a summer's afternoon...in the park. SwissChamp saved a fingernail by lifting up the opening tab. :tu:
My clock face guess is: 10:13.

This short video shows a dull Swisschamp being sharpened on a Victorinox pocket sharpener. I own two of these sharpeners, which are $14 shipped on Amazon Prime in the U.S., and they perform well enough for their size and price.Great video PN :tu: :like:

I hate, hate, hate dull blades.
Vanity pose today since awl we did was cut open a cereal bar :facepalm:
Day 09: (already?):
Busy sort of day for the Champ.
First, opened up a bag of dog food for my wild man.
(https://i.imgur.com/wRg6Ib2.jpg)
Scissors got used for this task:
(https://i.imgur.com/RocHw0p.jpg)
Later, it was a case of one more SAK making one more coffee cup a little more awlsome:
(https://i.imgur.com/oD79drX.jpg)
Then, the scissors saw action again, opening some Alder wood chips for use later when I grill some turkey burgers this evening:
(https://i.imgur.com/NIuRA9F.jpg)
The post arrived with a small package from China:

And, now, the SwissChamp is riding in the pocket from a small clip:
(https://i.imgur.com/qYtRxpV.jpg)
9. I use the small blade, can opener, and scissors daily, so it's Climber-like stuff most of the time (which is why I carry a Climber most of the time :D). I am finding some uses for the other tools too, just not as often. The beauty of the SwissChamp is that they are there when you need them. I did cut a piece of PVC tubing with the woodsaw today, so there's that. :tu:

Ok, so was looking at the tool list and saw this one. Surprised me to tell you the truth. Would never have thought of that...but it does work, I did it.
Cool that you discovered this Ray, the Vic can opener has been my go to Orange peeler for years :tu:

That looks great! Yum yum :tu:Day 9
My trusty old Swisschamp helped me preparing a simple salat today. Apart from using the main blade for cutting and peeling the ingrediens, I've also used the Fish Scaler for stirring the dressing :)
The blade was a tad smallish for the lettuce :think:
Day 9Enjoy the down time while you can! It wont last long.
Sorry, no action today... *sigh* ... an office day and lots of snow outside.

Lost my SwissChamp in Las Vegas, hopefully it's at the house where the remodel is being done.
When I got back from Vegas today, I opened the mail with a MiniChamp that was on my desk. What was I thinking? :dunno:
So I'm out, but I will continue, when I can, to cheer from the sidelines. :tu:

I am hoping it is at the house, it is empty except for when we go up to work on it.
I hope it isn't lost for good because it was my favorite, it has the newer metal file that I like and have used.
I've only lost one, a Camper, I do feel confident it's at the house, but it's really not like me to not put it in my pocket. :think:
I'll know in a couple of weeks when my brother goes up there, I'll have him bring it back, fingers crossed.

Mactire - Day 9Great post and photos here! Thanks for sharing your day with us. :like: :tu:
A SAK really shines in those little moments. But sometimes I have to be careful not to scare the muggles.
In the morning I had to keep track of patients on a form. When I thought I pulled out the pen unnoticed the patient picked up on that and complimented me on my small pen... A first for everything I guess.
On a second occasion later this morning I had to open a package of medication. Those boxes are taped shut real bad. Opening it without a knife will destroy the packaging. So I told my patients no to be alarmed and I pulled out the SwissChamp and deployed the large blade. The elderly patient loved it and turned out to carry a 58mm SAK herself. Victoria stamped!(https://i.imgur.com/vl2ZYJqm.jpg)
Lunch was a disaster. I brought Japanese Curry Soup and when I opened my backpack it smelled real good. Too good actually, because my container had started leaking. After cleaning duty I used the Large Blade to cut the chives.
Still a very tasty lunch. Unfortunately Japanese so I can't use this to enter the Mini Challenge. Speaking of which...
“Food and drink from where you are”.
Well, take a look at this: Douwe Egberts (DE) Coffee and a Kano!(https://i.imgur.com/ORo3IKTm.jpg)
The coffee is a traditional Dutch Coffee brand. I believe they were part of the reason Technivorm gained popularity. DE coffee can be good, but also pretty average. Like this cup, out of a machine. So let's look at the tasty part!
The pastry is best translated as an almond paste cake. It's very tasty and sweet. It's also very well known in The Hague. And I recall a comedy sketch about a kano and a dog who responds to Queen Beatrix and Hitler...
When I was a kid we used to get a kano with our drinks when we visited friends in The Hague.
Back home I used to large Blade to open packages of carrots, bacon and goat cheese to make carrot soup.
And just before I went to bed I noticed I bent the pocket clip on my Smabenza. So I removed the screw with the canopener and bent the clip back with the pliers. I love the pliers. Some give it flack because it's not big. But it's big enough for a lot of things. Would not want to miss the pliers!(https://i.imgur.com/EA4Fat8m.jpg)

That's a nice jacket Sir :salute:
Day 10Sometimes I blink and can’t post because 3 new ones have popped up! :rofl:
Warning - while you were reading 162 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.
So that's about a day of posting.
Nothing special for the SC today, so decided to post with another recent acquisition. We occasionally have boat trips with my parents, siblings and their children so, and go on long car trips so I figured we'd need another Thermos, and it was on sale.
As I seem to lack foresight this deal is already over by this post, sorry guys if you were interested. It takes 1.2L and retained water at 66C/150F in my own test run, so seems good, originally I got interested on it as the importer of Victorinox in Finland imports them as well, figured they wouldn't buy pure crap at least. So overall if you find another deal I'd say consider it if you need a Thermos.

Day 10 bonus material:
Pizza night here at the old homestead. Used the can opener to open a tin of tomato puree. At this point, it is easier for me to pull a SAK out my pocket and open a can with the can opener, than it is for me to rummage around in the drawer to find our regular mechanical can opener. These things just zip around a can.

Feeling a bit better after dinner and Tylenol. :)
It's great to hear you're enjoying the Challenge. To be honest this is Barry's good idea and he's been kind enough to let me co-host and chip in with a few thoughts. Most importantly it looks like you guys are having fun with what could alternatively be The SwissClump Trouser Drag! :cheers:Can someone do a GAW of a pair of hefty braces (Suspenders in the US, though that could lead to some ........ interesting pics :D). I am racking up the verbal warnings for wandering around work with my trousers around my ankles. Some people!

I've always wanted to take my Swisschamp on a long journey. Most here remember Sak Guy, Robert. He took a Champ on his hike thru Europe back in the '70's. I'm looking forward to some adventures with mine!
Nice one Wim! That will make you look even prettier! Oh who am I kinding - that's impossible :dd:

Family of mine that I visit way too little (+70yo couple that are like the sweetest people ever) became a client of the company I work for a few years back.
I had to do maintenance there today and while talking about my hobby, the man went upstairs and came back with his old folding knife that he used for fishing.
A beautifull hawkbill blade with metal anchor inlay!

It had no more use because of his fastly declining health so he wanted me to have it...

Not my work. Mouseman furniture is well known in the UK and the states. He had many apprentices who left and set up their own workshops. The stool is by one of his apprentices who uses a beaver as his mark. There are many others ( rabbit, wren, squirrel, lizard, fox etc) They are known as the Yorkshire critters. Beautiful handmade furniture but very expensive.Day 11Is the mouse a signature symbol for your work??? It was also on the lamp I believe that you redid.

Planned on taking a group pic with my nephew's Fisherman, but he left it at home. So there's some anyway, CT S, Outrider, Adventurer and Viking I think.

What a great challenge thread. The most active one I have been in since I joined. Great photos and uses, y'all! :tu:
Day 11:
Used the Champ to saw off the end of a dowel that was too long. A good MT saw blade is actually the best tool for the task. :)

Ray, how is apple duty going with the Champ now?I’m finding it easier to slice or quarter them. Not so much a problem now, and kinda prefer it now as it is eliminating the cutting of the top and bottom. :tu:
Day 11:Ouch on your losses...no top water action? Oh, and great photo’s ! :hatsoff:
I was out fishing in the canyon this afternoon and evening.
(https://i.imgur.com/oe6CTNv.jpg)
Chilly day, hard frost, but at least the line and guides didn't ice up. However, fishing was slow and I lost a few lures in the rocky bottom. As a result, the Swiss Champ saw a lot use as I changed out or replaced lures.

Day 12That numerical numbers on the watch is nice! :like: :tu:
Was mostly shopping today, but surprisingly had quite a bit of uses. The can opener was used to help put back in some cabin drawers, toothpick, as the name suggests, magnifier to look at some small text.
Special mention to my Dad's SwissTool (present from me) helping a local band fix their buses windshield wiper.
The Citizen was a thrift store wind, I'm not too interested in watches but it looked nice and was impassably cheap.
Hopefully just the battery is dead, hands and the calendar work fine manually, since the watch is in very nice condition sans the some minor plastic stratches and broken strap, which was a low quality aftermarket anyway, I'm going to ask my brother to borrow a proper opening tool and take a look, he's a watch collector.

I actually used it to get a fire going a couple years back, but that was with a nice bright Summer sun and very dry tinder.Summer evenings in some areas can be nippy at night for sure more so ladder part. :tu:

Was mostly shopping today, but surprisingly had quite a bit of uses. The can opener was used to help put back in some cabin drawers, toothpick, as the name suggests, magnifier to look at some small text.
Special mention to my Dad's SwissTool (present from me) helping a local band fix their buses windshield wiper.
The Citizen was a thrift store wind, I'm not too interested in watches but it looked nice and was impassably cheap.

Today I used the electricians blade to
remove the green felt from my storage box lid
Was hoping to get this done yesterday
But friends turned up unannounced :ahhh
After I finish cleaning the sticky stuff from the lid
I can hopefully cut some black velvet to fit the lid
No problems using the electricians blade
I was only using it to push the
velvet away from the edges
To make a starting point to remove the velvet :tu:

That hit my eye as well, I have a similar, seemingly newer crystron from my brother with plain lines.
I really like the numerals, the stylized lightly cursive type is rarely found on current men's watches, and looks nice.
Thanks for the assist MTMatt, now to see if my hasty pictures were sufficient, at least the view is nice.

Nice kamakiri, so a yeoman with small blade and file. :like:
And is that a special Climber you've got?
Our just for sourcing mod parts?
Thanks, Ray. :cheers: That's essentially the mod. The combo tool with the short side spring is lots stiffer and harder to close and 'safer' when in use. Almost as stiff as the 'nub'/lock style '99+ openers. I like it so far. I'd like to make one with this combo mod and a pruner blade.
Pretty sure it's just the old variant of the Climber when it was still the 'Traveller' otherwise nothing really different. I got this black spring version as another sample for date/timeline purposes. No plans to butcher this one!
I thought it might be an original Traveller :tu:
That was the first SAK I've got... from my dad.
Better sent it to me than taking it apart :whistle:
Day 13
Nothing special today.
Has anyone found a use for the "porpoise" screwdriver (located on the back with the awl, hook, etc?That's a tough one, Barry. In ~35 years it's probably been my least used tool on my '84 Champion. I think the newer 'porpoise' one even less so. Usually, screws in narrow deepish holes are phillips. The porpoise hump does an even worse job than the original fine SD. And it's in the worst location for high torque and breaking tight screws loose. I think a smaller phillips like on the 58mm combo tool would have been better used over the years.
Day 13:
No uses today. I went down to my local bar/pub to watch a little playoff football. Swiss Champ rode shotgun.

Triple feature... I've been taking photo's and marking my checklist every day. But I had very little screen time the past days...Glad to hear you are ok!
Mactire - Day 10
Doctors visit early in the morning. Partly because of a blood test, which was fine, and partly because of back problems.
And no, those back problems did not originate from this challenge ;) Turns out I need to walk for 20 minutes a day, a brisk walk, so I can't take the dog with me. This eats another 20 minutes of my time every day so my schedule is getting a bit crowded.
Among other things, I used the SwissChamp to cut some non-slip matting to put under my doormats.

Mactire - Day 11
Started the day with a frikadel (a meat sausage). The SC opened the package and spread the mayonnaise and ketchup.

Mactire - Day 12
Again not he best quality photo. Or the best quality breakfast for that matter... poffertjes! (Like mini pancakes).
(https://i.imgur.com/lrnwMXzm.jpg)
I visited the triftshop on my walk. So there is a benefit of walking :D I picked up a Rollei 35. Not a camera I needed, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how it worked in the store, so I had to have it. It took me about 30 minutes to figure it out back home and it's a lovely camera. I put in a practice roll of 35mm film and everything seems to work. I'm going to give it a good clean and take it for a spin.
I used the SC to prod around in the camera and tighten some screws.
(https://i.imgur.com/WcIV4BKm.jpg)
Mail call later that day. Some slick clip clones. Could not get a hold of the real ones so I picked up these form China. And they are pretty good! I use them to tighten some loose straps on my backpack.
Had computer duty at my parents house. Fixed a laptop and got a Vitamaltz as a reward. Totally worth it!

Little package duty.
Decided to do a comparison of the mentioned watches, unfortunately I didn't get the battery changed yet, managed to scout a store though. Certainly didn't expect that there seems to be only one store in my city carrying LR920/SR69/370.
Tastes definitely seem to have changed, I came across a jewelry store today and the successors of the casing only feature in women's watches, men's being much larger.

Hmmm... I have always considered the XLT's spatula to be a little bit less useful... thanks Wspeed for enlightening me :cheers:
Nice uses all :tu:
Mine today is a bit humdrum, just bending back a stubborn key fob wire that was prone to letting go of some keys when in use.
Day15
A switch over to the SC today and it’s time for a cuppa and some chocolate wafers.

Came down with the flu, so less SAK use opportunities as I stayed inside. Used the small screwdriver to pop out the Citizen strap bars, and measured them to be 18mm as expected with the scaler.

Mactire - Day 15Nice usages! :tu:
Didn't use the SC much today. I didn't need to do any cooking so it didn't see any use there.
We visited my dad for his birthday today, so I used the Large Blade to cut the gift wrap paper an wrap up the gift.
Also a package for me which the SC opened with scissors. When I opened the package I saw there was a pull-tab :facepalm:
I'm so accustomed to reaching for a knife that I don't even look for pull-tabs anymore.

Today the SwissChamps scissors removed some stay bristles from a new brush, while the small blade and chisel brought a beaten K'nex stick back to shape...
Day 17No offence, but… Listen to this police officer.
Fitted a keysafe for my elderly neighbours.
The SwissChamp failed on the lower screw and I had to hunt down a regular cross head screwdriver. (It didn’t physically fail, it just was too bulky to fit and turn that lower screw)

This is the first time I've had to resort to another multitool. In the scheme of things, that's not bad!That must have been some think wire...solid? It is a small wire cutter for sure...maybe a 14 or 16???
Day 17Oh boy, that is a nice 87! :tu: :cheers:
Package opening duty!

Inside is this (near) mint KM87. This is truly one of the best ones i’ve seen for sale, and certainly the best one i’ve bought :D
Day 17That would have been nice to know when I had to change them out! Oh well, I will know in the future! :like: :tu:
Used the pliers to remove an empty cartridge from the grease gun..........
Surprisingly versatile, these pliers :tu:Thats great news! :tu:
Day 17
No action pics today, due to travel by air. At least it was still in my checked bag ;)
Good usage! :tu:Day 17
Today the SwissChamps scissors removed some stay bristles from a new brush, while the small blade and chisel brought a beaten K'nex stick back to shape...
Lovely uses all-around, today! Nice work!His chili is looking good isn’t it! :tu:
So far the Champ only assisted in improving a coffee cup lid (awl) and splitting a muffin with Mrs Nix (main blade). :tu: I took a photo for the thread....but somehow it was not saved. :facepalm:
That's OK, expecting some more action this afternoon when I make a response post to Greg's chili temptation. :drool:

Day 17
Fitted a keysafe for my elderly neighbours.
The SwissChamp failed on the lower screw and I had to hunt down a regular cross head screwdriver. (It didn’t physically fail, it just was too bulky to fit and turn that lower screw)

Hmmm, programs loades directly on the usb drive. I have a Mac, have to think about that trick…
Thanks for the explanation!Hmmm, programs loades directly on the usb drive. I have a Mac, have to think about that trick…
Sorry for the side-bar here. But yes, they do load on the USB drive and run completely from the USB drive.
They do not use the hard drive of the computer or leave any records on the drive. I'm not concerned about not leaving a trace to be covert, just not to break the system. So this works perfectly. I use Portableapps.com. I'm not sure if there is something similar for Mac.
Now, where did I put that New Years SwissChamp Challenge Second Mini Challenge ? :think: It must be around here somewhere .... :whistle:

I know what you mean, I would never have one.

Crime, while a consideration is pretty much non existent round here. Last known incident was somebody got their bicycle lights stolen back in 1984. They still talk about that as a crime wave down at the local pub.

I got this clip on Amazon. It was shipped directly to me from China:
(https://i.imgur.com/Mw8uCX3.jpg)
After two weeks of use.....light and unexciting use....it has stretched out. It's more of a 'hanger' than a 'clip'. I suspect it's made from cheap steel or poorly heat treated steel. I'm going to call this a FAIL.

We've finally gotten a bit of snow up in the mountains. It snowed yesterday and last night, so today I took my skis up for a brief tour. It was overcast with light snow at times, but the temp was only around 0ºC. So a nice day for a bit of skiing.

Along the trail there is an abandoned cabin. I wish I knew more about the history of who built this and how it was used. It's hard to imagine living in this little hut year round. Maybe it was just somebody's hunting cabin.

As I skied along, the snow collected up on the top of my skis and solidified. You can see the adherent snow in the above image. It turns out that the Fish Scaler also makes a decent ski de-icer! :tu:

I was testing the clip's springiness a bit...... :oops:
(https://i.imgur.com/OJhzqQi.jpg)
I was putting....maybe 5#...of pressure on the clip when it 'crumbled'. It did not even snap apart. It just crumbled apart. Cheap junk metal. Caveat emptor.
I usually use the Niteize belt pouch, however when I do carry in my pocket, I like this setup. Clip attaches to the belt & the Champ dangles perfectly in my Wrangler jeans. Clip can be removed from the belt without taking the belt off & Crab claw allows the knife to be used without anything extra in the way.

In extreme close-quarter encounters where a suspect is attempting to take an officer's handgun, or an officer cannot access his or her handgun, the TDI knife is available as a "last option" knife. When worn on the pant belt the entire unit - knife and sheath - is well concealed. Designed by John Benner, founder and owner of Tactical Defense Institute.
Hard plastic sheath and reversible black metal belt clip (1480CLIP) included. Fits maximum belt height of 1.75", width of 1.25" and thickness of 0.25".

Powernoodle Bonus Pic
(https://i.imgur.com/UdMqPvT.jpg)
My new favorite SAK with my new favorite EDC firearm: the Beretta PX4 Storm Compact 9mm.
When I begin to see the end of a Challenge just over the horizon, I usually experience both a little relief and a little sadness. This Challenge is no different. Not in a million years would I have considered the SwissChamp as a workable, long term EDC, but I can certainly see it now. Once you get used to it, the SwissChamp is really not that big of a deal in the pocket but packs more utility than just about any other SAK. My traditional favorite is the Explorer Plus, and the SwissChamp is that on steroids. So I could envision myself carrying the SwissChamp on a daily basis going forward, which is something I never thought possible.
As for the Beretta PX4 Storm, the Beretta bloodline is readily apparent in its look and feel. But the rotating barrel design, which is found on few other pistols, both increases reliability because it is inline with the top cartridge in the magazine, and absorbs recoil by converting it into rotational energy rather than muzzle flip. Double action/single action is not for everyone, but it has certain benefits for EDC including a heavier first pull requiring you to make that first shot intentional. When re-holstering, the thumb can be placed over the exposed hammer as an early warning system for any impending negligent discharge. At over 30 ounces loaded, its no lightweight, but that extra mass combined with the rotating barrel help that front sight to get back on target quickly for follow ups. Street price in The Colonies is around $479.
The SwissChamp, PX4 Storm and MTO are Powernoodle Approved.

It's time for the SwissChamp Challenge Second Mini ChallengeVery nice prize! :like: :tu:
The theme for this mini-challenge is "From from another continent”.
To enter you need to post a pic of your SwissChamp with something from another continent (not just your SwissChamp or another Victorinox / Wenger for those of you outside continental Europe!). You’ll need to explain which continent obviously.
And then ….. you’ll see a pic of of my Traveller Lite with this post. You simply have to guess the time (24 hour clock format this time so a challenging12 extra hours to guess correctly from) showing on the front scale of my Traveller Lite. Nearest guess to the time shown wins.
For this Mini Challenge I thought my co-host deserved a crack at the prize so I’m holding onto the pic of the Traveller Lite showing the time and my decision is final.
One entry each no later than midnight GMT on the 27th January … so time is of the essence.Prize ? You’re not really in it for the prize are you ...?:popcorn:
The winner will receive this NIB Limited Edition Climber from the Victorinox store in London.
Day 20Nice :tu:
Used the SC for this image for the latest mini challenge. From another continent.
This carving came to me via my parents from somewhere in Africa. (I really must find out where)

But, since you mentioned it, I have been stepping out and enjoying the eclipse. Weather is perfect in AL tonight for viewing. :woohoo:
Cloudy here this morning so no eclipse for me.Sorry to hear that. As much as I enjoy astronomy, I became so disappointed in being at the mercy of the weather. On the really special events that would come up about 90% of them were no shows because the weather blocked the viewing. Even normal events hit a 50% no shows due to weather. If it weren’t for the weather, I would have a very nice telescope with a dedicated observatory.

Day 21
Not any special use today. I didn't find anything new for the mini-challenge, so there's my Citizen 70s watch, from Japan as one may know.
For the time I guess 18:37
Day 21:Very nice photo, even if the snow has taken over! :tu: :cheers: :hatsoff:
It was snowing up in the mountains today, so I went skiing with a buddy. Conditions were really nice with temps in the 20ºs and continually refreshing snow.
Not a lot of great views as visibility was limited by snow and clouds.

No uses for the Champ today, although it did come along, carried in a pocket. Because it was a bit colder, the fish scaler wasn't required to de-ice my skis today. :tu:

Mactire - day 18
My new USB stick is up and running. I managed to recover all data from theold one.
I've read that the old one might fail because of bad contacts so I used the SC to take it apart and take a look.(https://i.imgur.com/i1agQKOm.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/EerP0cim.jpg)The magnifier does not get daily use, but it's a nice tool to have.
In the evening the SC has package opening duty at my parents and I opened a bottle of fake Crodino.(https://i.imgur.com/0TRKgJPm.jpg)
And I see another MiniChallenge! A photo of something from another continent? I'll have to think about that!
Mactire - day 19
Wasn't feeling so well today so I made ginger tea. I used the large blade to skin and cut a piece of ginger to a strip.(https://i.imgur.com/dsByRnK.jpg)
Mactire - day 20
A lot of uses aren't that spectacular. But's it's little moments like this that makes carrying a SAK worthwile.(https://i.imgur.com/vQQoXDcm.jpg)Of course, I could have walked 2 meters to get a pair of scissors, but I used the Small Blade of the SC instead.

Not much today, I did open a rather interesting package, more on that tomorrow.China Gunpower green tea....wow, thats an interesting name for a tea... :tu:
Currently relaxing after the day with some China Gunpowder green tea. Can't do a scaler challenge though as I only drink loose leaf at home.Though I did use the scaler for a taking a measure already.
Now that were over three thirds through, we could think back on how widely we've used the tools. I've used all but the reamer and chisel, the hook mine doesn't have though.

I hope it’s permanent. I caught the zip on a nail as I walked past a fence post. The teeth are nylon and undamaged. But the pull part is steel and had bent out of shape. I just put it all back into place and held it in position while squeezing the pull part back into shape with the SC pliers.Day 23Is the fix permanent??? If so, how did you do it...I have had the teeth bend and wind up throwing it away. Thanks
Fixed the zip on my range bag.

Mactire - Day 22Excellent lighting Mactire! :tu: I always feel more confident when buying from people who care enough to take good to excellent photos like that.
Like any other challenge there are days the SAK does not get a lot of use.
Some boring opening jobs; bag of carrots, package of bacon and a package of goats cheese. Made carrotsoup again.
I picked up a desk lamp to aid in taking pictures. I need to make better quality photo's for sales and this forum of course. ;)
The SC had modelling duty.

Unfortunately little use.
It's Wenger Wednesday, So I Brandished the Matterhorn Plus back from warranty repair. Many tools were replaced, scales are new and immaculate. Maybe I'll use it some more the see what it's capable of.
Replaced tools are new versions, sans the Wenger branded main blade. It is still absolutely much better and worth more than the smashed piece I send in, and still functional and beautiful.
As kind of a test/comparison I used the wenger can opener as an orange peeler, and while less multifunctional it does that job more tidily than Victorinox.

BeaterChamp on duty today. Forgot to use the Hoff Champ for Hoffritz Wednesday. Found 2 champs I forgot about. I think that's 11 in the champ fleet including a few fodder knives.

Knife disassembly duty.
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7881/32980762038_b01f16ef58_n.jpg)
Large SD 'pry bar' gets the most use. Can opener for the scale removal. Metal Saw to get the pins filed to clear the liners as they come off. Pliers sometimes to guide a punch or to remove drilled ends. Magnifier to inspect pin drilling. Normally this duty is handled by a Marlboro Troubleshooter and my double magnifier mod. I should have used one of the newer Champs with SS Metal Saw. It's better for filing brass IMO.
One of these days when I have nothing better to do, I think I'd like to attempt a full, but messy disassembly with just a SAK. :dunno: Hardest part would be using the awl to get the pins. :think: Or maybe just saw the bushings off! :D

When watching Star Trek Discovery my feet suddenly fell to the floor. No time-loop or warp hole, one leg of my footbench broke off. I paused STD ( :D ) and grabbed a bottle of glue from the shed to glue it back together. I used the file to scrape off paint to clean the surface to glue and the pliers to remove old glue from the bottle. Accidentally I glued the pliers, so I had to let it dry for the rest of the night to remove the glue in the morning.(https://i.imgur.com/a0NiiOr.jpg?1)
Tomorrow I will have a foot bench again.

Day 24Have done that...hate to throw something away just when its getting comfortable to wear! :like: :tu:
Another day with the Wenger, since I've rarely used these.
Today the scissors helped me to cut some recycled jeans fabric I used to patch up my coat's Thinsulate lining. It's otherwise an excellent and durable coat, these (nylon?) Parts have degraded and lost durability, perhaps with poor storage (surplus from 94). The scissors worked without a hitch and make clean cuts in fabric, definitely good for this use.
Now I'll just hope they'll keep for a while, I'd think so as I patched all the spots most prone to abrasion.

Day 25:
We got a good bit of snow yesterday, enough to make another day of cross-country skiing seem like a really good idea. The Swiss Champ got carried along in a pocket, but didn't see any use.
How much snow?

kamakiri DAY 25:
BeaterChamp opened some packages, cut some zip ties, trimmed my nails (though I prefer my Vic clipper).
Also helped mod this:

Used both the Wood Saw and Metal Saw for that. This was a lot harder than opening the end of the Voyager/Electronic scale back tweezer slot.

Day 25Nice sheath :tu:
Knife was mostly just riding along, I did use the screwdriver to tighten the frying pan handle, maybe some other stuff I forgot. Sorry for the crummy pic, I planned on taking one with my nephew's Fisherman but he forgot it home, So it's late and I've no good pic idea.
But he did tell me he's being doing a lot of package opening and such already, I'm glad he's started to use it, and continued even after getting a minor cut. Like many he'd already like some tools he's currently missing though.

I'm not sure how closely ThePeacent is following this thread, but if he is, I know he's expecting this post.
It's become a tradition with me to prepare a chicken for dinner using the challenge tool. The Swiss Champ challenge couldn't be any different.
(https://i.imgur.com/irPev2D.jpg)
I have used other 91mm SAK's to dress out a chicken, and this one proved to be just as effective as the others. I think I've become accustomed to the wide Champ handle; I really didn't notice it as I 'spatchcocked' this bird.
(https://i.imgur.com/3ew5AKT.jpg)
The back bone was removed first, this is a bit tricky with a small knife, but I just felt my way along. Then the wishbone was cut out, followed by clavicles, pelvis, and rib cage. The Champ handled this task like......a Champ. :tu:
The chicken got rubbed with e Berberé spice blend and roasted with some potato wedges (Champ cut the tatties up, too.) in the oven.
(https://i.imgur.com/St1WBZ6.jpg)
The edge of the blade did hit a couple of bones as I was cutting up the chicken, but the edge stayed razor sharp; there was no evidence of significant dulling. Awl in awl, a fine performance by the Champ. :tu:

Mactire - Day 24
Almost weekend now! But first have to work myself through the day.
Used the SC to fit the lens back into a trial lens. We use these for visual field exams, but an optician would also have them. I've undoubtedly posted a similar pick like this before. I use the Micro Screwdriver a lot for tasks like this.
(http://i.imgur.com/s8oVeCvm.jpg)
Also, the perfect opportiunity top have some fun with the lens as well. I present you, a tiny SwissChamp.
(http://i.imgur.com/Wo5hlpd.jpg)
What is this, a SwissChamp for ants?
So I continued with my patients, grabbed a new trial lens and what do you know?!
(http://i.imgur.com/GTXkQekm.jpg)
In the end I fixed four lenses at the end of my shift. Back when I was an optician making a mess of a trial set like this equalled picking a fight. People should not be so careless with these things.
Mactire - Day 25
Not much action for the SC today. It got to watch how I cleaned a Traveller and a Handyman.
(http://i.imgur.com/rlwkHgEm.jpg)
And then, for the challenge...
It's time for the SwissChamp Challenge Second Mini Challenge
I had to think about what items to submit. Because a lot of products are made on another continent.
But in the end chose my Japanese kitchen knives.They are made in Japan which is located in East Continental Asia. Far, far away from this cold low land we call Holland.
I chose these because I use them every day and am very happy with them. Even if they are not very high quality. The steel is softer than 'real' japanese knives. Which can also be an advantage because they are easier to sharpen and less prone to chipping.
This particular brand is Seki-Ryu and here you see from left to right: Deba (fish), Gyutou (general purpose) and a small paring knife. I have more in this set, but also wanted to shopw off the SC in this picture.
You can find more information here at their homepage (http://www.sekiryu.co.jp/wabou/index-e.htm).
(http://i.imgur.com/FB46eof.jpg)
And then I have to guess the time on the scale. This one is harder than the previous one because of the 24h clock and no reflection.

I didn't have pictures from early in the process from the last one I did. Funny how you might not really think about how you do something until you try to explain it to somebody else. :think: Took almost an hour to get both sides to that point. This one will be Champ-sized.
BeaterChamp helped a little with Pliers and Metal Saw, but was mostly on stand-by.

This particular brand is Seki-Ryu and here you see from left to right: Deba (fish), Gyutou (general purpose) and a small paring knife. I have more in this set, but also wanted to shopw off the SC in this picture.
You can find more information here at their homepage (http://www.sekiryu.co.jp/wabou/index-e.htm).

And then I have to guess the time on the scale. This one is harder than the previous one because of the 24h clock and no reflection.
I'm going with 17:40

But now I'm wondering. How do you know how a pool table's felt tastes like?

We all do things in college that we regret later in life.
As for the kiwi:
"Can you eat the skin of a kiwifruit?
Absolutely! The kiwifruit skin is completely edible and makes this nutrient-dense fruit even more nutritious! A recent study shows that eating the skin triples the fiber intake compared to merely eating the flesh. And by not peeling the skin, you preserve much of the vitamin C content as well.
People all over the world have been eating the skin for centuries with no complaints. And many find that leaving the skin on their sliced kiwifruit makes it much easier for snacking, as the skin holds each slice together.
Just like any fresh fruit or vegetable, we suggest that you wash the skin before eating since it is unknown who or what touched it before you did. So enjoy your kiwifruit, skin and all!"

Investigating a gravity well I found under the neutron generator in my laboratory. I could barely hold on to the SwissChamp. The last time I tried this, my Explorer Plus ended up in the Delta Quadrant.
Day 26:
Mrs Nix pressganged me into a cleaning crew this morning. OK, I was the cleaning crew....
Used the Champ to remove the darned safety seal from a fresh bottle of Citrisolve. Good stuff, but I detest those safety seals.

BeaterChamp unwrapped a younger, better looking sibling:

BeaterChamp is c.'86 and this is an '87+ big 'V'. Mail call duty and picking some gravel out of my tires is all for today. Otherwise, just along for the ride today. Having spent most of the month with it so far for this challenge, it'll be a little sad to part it out.
Did see this Peregrine having lunch while in a meeting:
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4898/33014670918_5763a87d90.jpg):cheers: Thanks, Ray! Can't win 'em all...and sometimes the risk isn't worth it. Today's haul had gone much better in that regard...so far! :tu:kamakiri DAY 25:Excellent...except for your rant!
Only apple slicing and package duty today for BeaterChamp.

Not really wanting to talk about what happened with something arrived in one of the two packages. :rant:
Started another shackle for a how to thread I'll get around to later:

Whoops. :facepalm:

I didn't have pictures from early in the process from the last one I did. Funny how you might not really think about how you do something until you try to explain it to somebody else. :think: Took almost an hour to get both sides to that point. This one will be Champ-sized.
BeaterChamp helped a little with Pliers and Metal Saw, but was mostly on stand-by.
Looking forward to your future thread on the mod :like: :tu: :cheers:

Craftsman with '79/'80 construction, HOFFRITZ tang stamp and hot stamp scale. I don't see a lot of them with the tang stamp and hot stamp so I wanted to pick this one up. Pleasantly surprised at how clean and unused it is. Like new aside from the scales and still some of the original shine in them.

DAY 27 :D:tu:
Mactire - Day 26Well, great success on the Yuzu tree! :tu: :cheers:
A very, very uneventful day for the SC. I think the only thing it was used for is opening a pack of AAA cell batteries.
Did some shopping, bought a flower pot. Got back home. Flowerpot was way (way) to big. Spent a half an hour trying to justify a huge flowerpot in the living room. Then returned it to the store.
I did pick up a grow light when I went back. So it wasn't in vain.
Mactire - Day 27
Unpacked my growlight and dug up a buch of Yuzu seeds from a drawer. I tried sprouting Yuzu before and failed miserably.
Decided to give it another go.
Used the large blade to peel off the skin. It can be done, and the Large Blade is definitely sharp enough but I found the SAK too large to handle such a fine task comfortably. I tried the Small Blade as well, but the large handle gives me problems with precise work.
(https://i.imgur.com/xqni048.jpg)
However, the SC did peel the seeds and now the are in a zip-lock bag under the grow light.
Who knows in four to six years I will have my first Yuzu...

Oh, and that ashtray is almost too cute to put ash in.
It’s just polished up a treat.Wow...ceramic sunflower seeds! That is a really cool ideal! I can just see someone trying to eat one! :rofl:

I’ve almost replaced the many wooden items that I lost in the fire but I’m always on the lookout for more.
Don’t worry, there’s no ash going in this one. The one I had before the fire was filled with ceramic sunflower seeds from the Ai Weiwei exhibition at the Tate.
No matter how close you get to them you would swear they were real but in fact are each handmade and hand painted ceramic. There were millions made for the display and you can buy them now by the ton.

Size comparison: SwissChamp vs CyberChamp Lite. The CyberChamp is just shy of an XLT in size and quite a bit lighter, I guess, as the light doesn't weigh that much for its size in comparison with metal tools.

Day 30
The challenge comes to an end...
Thanks to all for a thoroughly pleasant read and pictures. I have read all the posts and commented only on some of them - the sheer volume of material and relative lack of time have made it impossible for me to be very diligent in following up on the many posts, and replies to mine, for which I wish to apologise, and at the same time thank all contributors.
Hats off :hatsoff: to the organisers of this challenge, and to all posters, not least the two most diligent posters in this thread Rapidray and MTMatt :hatsoff: :cheers:
Now to the nitty gritty:
I already knew the SC is a great tool to carry - it sits well in my front right pocket next to the key pouch and the tool set is simply legendary. For me, this challenge had two main aspects at least:
1. Try out the CyberChamp Lite per se and see how the tool complement compares with that of the SC
2. See if I can carry it as EDC instead of the SC
Re 1: I've summarised the tools by which the CyberChamp Lite differs from the SC in the pic below (ignore the kickstand hook, if you please).
The CyberTool and the LED light are the most obvious additions and have served me well, even if this has gone mainly undocumented in this particular challenge. Noteworthy uses for the CyberTool include the fixing of a rather recessed screw fixing a pan handle to the pan, which required a long shank tool, and where the additional light came in handy to locate the Phillips at the bottom of the hole, as well as various other (un)screwing jobs. I consider the CyberTool implement to be a pure stroke of genius. The fact that you can, in a pinch, also use standard 4mm hex bits in it is a major plus point, bearing in mind some minor demerits for the fact that such bits tend to fall out for lack of a spring/ball set. On its own the light is quite handy to have on a SAK, even if it won't burn any retinas.
The electrician blade has proven very handy to have, probably mainly because of the sheepfoot tip and the wire stripping indent. Actually, it's a small mystery to me why this blade is not included in more models. I would probably even give up the small blade in its favour (but I kept it on the CyberChamp Lite, just opposite the electrician blade). Speaking of which however, the current placement is not ideal and may need to be revisited if I ever decide to rebuild the tool. The nail nick is not well reachable and the tips of the electrician blade and small blade tend to rub against each other - I shall have to relocate that layer, include a washer to either side of the blade tangs and use a slightly wider spring (probably one from an opener layer, giving me the opportunity to add another backspring tool).
The inline awl - we all know why that is a much better idea than a backspring awl (which I retained, however).
The fixed Phillips as a backspring tool instead of inline is a bit of a compromise. On the one hand I didn't want the CyberTool Lite to become too wide and bulky, and the risk of it becoming so were I to retain the inline Phillips was real - plus I have the CyberTool implement. On the other the fixed Phillips does have a slimmer shank and might be able to reach places where a CyberTool would be too fat. This kind of thinking made me ditch the corkscrew (which I really rarely use on a SAK) in favour of the backspring Phillips. I may compensate for the attendant loss of the parking spot for the jeweler's screwdiver by implementing the additional backspring tool that I might be adding as a slimmed down small backspring screwdriver.
On the whole however, I am very pleased with the tool set - happy I built this :tu:
Re 2: I was surprised to note that I didn't note any major difference between keeping a SC in my pocket and doing so with the CyberChamp Lite. The additional bulk is rather negligible in practice. This tends to support Wspeed's view that the XLT (slightly larger again) remains an excellent pocket carry - but then he'd probably pocket carry the XAVT if he had one :pok: :D
Day 30
The challenge comes to an end...
Thanks to all for a thoroughly pleasant read and pictures. I have read all the posts and commented only on some of them - the sheer volume of material and relative lack of time have made it impossible for me to be very diligent in following up on the many posts, and replies to mine, for which I wish to apologise, and at the same time thank all contributors.
Hats off :hatsoff: to the organisers of this challenge, and to all posters, not least the two most diligent posters in this thread Rapidray and MTMatt :hatsoff: :cheers:
Now to the nitty gritty:
I already knew the SC is a great tool to carry - it sits well in my front right pocket next to the key pouch and the tool set is simply legendary. For me, this challenge had two main aspects at least:
1. Try out the CyberChamp Lite per se and see how the tool complement compares with that of the SC
2. See if I can carry it as EDC instead of the SC
Re 1: I've summarised the tools by which the CyberChamp Lite differs from the SC in the pic below (ignore the kickstand hook, if you please).
The CyberTool and the LED light are the most obvious additions and have served me well, even if this has gone mainly undocumented in this particular challenge. Noteworthy uses for the CyberTool include the fixing of a rather recessed screw fixing a pan handle to the pan, which required a long shank tool, and where the additional light came in handy to locate the Phillips at the bottom of the hole, as well as various other (un)screwing jobs. I consider the CyberTool implement to be a pure stroke of genius. The fact that you can, in a pinch, also use standard 4mm hex bits in it is a major plus point, bearing in mind some minor demerits for the fact that such bits tend to fall out for lack of a spring/ball set. On its own the light is quite handy to have on a SAK, even if it won't burn any retinas.
The electrician blade has proven very handy to have, probably mainly because of the sheepfoot tip and the wire stripping indent. Actually, it's a small mystery to me why this blade is not included in more models. I would probably even give up the small blade in its favour (but I kept it on the CyberChamp Lite, just opposite the electrician blade). Speaking of which however, the current placement is not ideal and may need to be revisited if I ever decide to rebuild the tool.

The 29th Day
-48 Hours Remain-
Again desk duty. I totally didn't plan on this but it actually happened...
The tab dropped in my tea and fell off. :facepalm:(https://i.imgur.com/MhObJF0.jpg)
I used the Fishscaler to fish out the baggie and the tab. Now I know that a cup of tea is 6cm deep.
Apart from that nothing too exciting happened.
I needed a light to find a USB port on a computer below a desk. Now, there is no light on the SC, so my Photon had to do the trick. I've thought about carrying a SAK with a light, and have a Spartan Lite. But it's a tool I hardly use and I find it a waste to add another layer to a Handyman. I've played with the thought of adding a LED+Magnifier layer if it were possible.(https://i.imgur.com/uszQ4s0.jpg)
But some tools are better carried separately in my opinion. A separate LED has the advantage of using a tool and the light at the same time. I'm just missing a magnifier in my EDC, and the Victorinox magnifier is very good in my opinion.
I see everybody talking about the final day tomorrow and was a bit confused since January has 31 days.
But then a gain, a 30 day challenge sums it up quite nicely. :think:
I'll save the 31st day for the closing notes.

Maybe we need a Badge for multiple completions of the same Challenge.
Day 30
The last day and today I plan to be outside for most of the time. To celebrate the end of the challenge I’m carrying both the SC and the Wenger Champ. One in my trouser pocket and the other in my jacket.
Heavy snowfall overnight here in sunny Norfolk, there’s almost half an inch!!! I’d better get myself over to Tesco’s before the shelves are stripped bare of bread and sugar.

Spell check, surely? :D :angel: :rofl:
Anyway, I did neglect to mention that the CyberChamp Lite does not retain the SC's fish scaler-and-ruler. This was because of the more mechanical tool-oriented nature I intended to achieve, hence I thought I could do without, thereby saving at least half a layer in thickness. I must say I haven't missed it during this particular challenge. But I have an odd duck in the collection that has somehow retained the fish scaler when I stripped it of some tools - if I feel it's missing on the CCL I might repurpose it.
@Wim, 4mm standard hex bits come in a variety of not too expensive sets available on the 'net...

I must honestly say that out of all the Victorinox nail file types I like this the most. The grind of the file is just right (not too fine, not too coarse) and the extra length of it is also very handy. You can make nice long sweeps with it.

One must exercise care so as not to get pizza sauce in the pivot. That would be nasty.
And now my thoughts...
The SwissChamp is a very nice SAK tool. It has more usages on it that some people would need. But when they would need it, it is there for sure. I had a lot of reservations on the SC to begin with. Size on the width was the main one. Weight was another. It was not very high on my list of carry knives. Doing the 30 day challenge with this one only was perfect timing and would give it an honest try out. And it has.
It just isn’t the one for me. The weight didn’t really matter as I did get used to it. I carry a 1911 all the time so weight doesn’t bother me that much. Especially on my hip. While the width, I just can’t get used to it. I have to hold it differently while doing some tasks and it just doesn’t feel right. My sense of control isn’t there with the SC, and with thinner SAK I have it. It comes down to my hand size wrapping around thinner layers as to the SC my hand doesn’t wrap - it is open.
I was hoping after the 30 days, I would really like it and carry it into my rotation with the others. It isn’t going to happen. I am afraid it will just become a SAK that I have and can look at from time to time. Now if any of the grandkids where to show an interest in it, they will be leaving with it!
Another factor that comes into play is the fact that I’m retired now. I’m not fixing stuff on a daily basis. I am more into the outdoors. Biking, hiking, camping etc. and there are other SAK that cover that lifestyle much better. I will keep one of the SC in my bike pack. As a backup, remember one is none, two is one saying. My three main tools that I must have other than the basic ones are the saw, sissors, magnifying glass - as these old eyes need a little help every so often.
It was great fun for sure on this challenge! And look forward to doing some others with you guys! :hatsoff:
Learned some new usages and one multitasking use which was really cool. :tu:
Day 30I see a fruit that is about to meet its demise! :like: :tu:
Was out most of the day so no good pic opportunities, it's been fun, but a bit exhausting. I'm glad my Matterhorn Plus made it back in time, since this would have been just retaining my usual carry otherwise.

Turned a pizza in the oven with the scaler. Used the small blade to scrape some stickers off some of the kids' furniture that we were donating. Pulled a couple of weeds with the pliers while waiting for my wife to get in the car and trimmed a floppy end of a wiper blade with the scissors. Replacement wipers come in on Friday, but it's probably not going to rain again for 11 months. ::)

Day 30. Went with the EvoBeast today for the last Wenger Wednesday of the challenge and opened some light postage. It's a novelty to carry really and the sculpted scales make it just a little too bulky to persuade me to carry it more frequently. In comparison I've been impressed with how carryable the SwissChamp really is.Thank you both for hosting this challenge! It was great! And the mini’s in this were flat out bonus’s :cheers: :hatsoff:A big thank you to Barry for coming up with such a fun way to pass January ...
and a big thank you to all of you who have participated or just read through the splurge of posts each and every day.
great post and photo’s for sure. I don’t know what it is but snow makes for some great shots! :like: :tu:Day 30
I have this SwissChamp since '91 where Is looking for a replacement of the Orig. Traveller I've lost.
It saw a lots of use and some abuse followed by some neglecting after I saw that Leatherman Tool and Supertool in El Paso 4 years later.
Somehow it was forgotten for years after while other new fancy pocket tool goodies came in to play.
Two years ago I dug it out and gave it a good overhaul incl. some bending and filing and got it back into real usage.
This 30 day challenge was a great reminder of the old days where it was my only tool, and it was fun :hatsoff:
Still, I don't need a fishscaler and I love to have some more options for certain screws.
The CT41 will stay in my EDC bag for normal days, while the SwissChamp will come out when hiking etc. It's great to have choices :D
A big thanks to Barry, and Bill for the great mini-challenges and all :cheers:
...oh, the pic for today... used the SwissChamp to open the package of a new 4-in-1 sensor thingy :salute:

I love the Swisschamp! It seems like it would be a heavy, oversized beast of a carry, but it actually really isn't bad at all. Stories like Matt's and so many others moved me to get one several years back, and like his mine sat neglected more often than not. SAKguy, when he was active, shared with me that he packed a Champion all over Europe in the 70s, and that really got me interested in this mighty tool. I discovered that, in its own way, it's the original Super Tool!Thank you for letting me know about this one! It was fun for sure and a great learning experience! And for you to do this two times - Kudos - :hatsoff:
Thanks again to everyone here for a wonderful 30 days!

Thanks for a TON of reading just to keep up everyone. Lisa I hope you got your Champ back and again thanks for the Mini-Champ.
Now to the Champ itself. It is a great tool and I definately understand how it was Butch's tool of choice all those years. Only two times did it fall short for me in 30 days. That's impressive! There were several of the tools I never really had an opportunity to utilize. Having been in the field with pliar based MT's for so many years I found myself glad I did this challenge after I moved into the office. The Champ is quite capable but I've been spoiled to My SwissTools. The Champ has features SwissTools don't, but for me the size and grip of the pliars and wire cutters, length and reach of the drivers and over all ruggedness religate the Champ to a secondary carry. When Butch was in the field Pliars based MT's, functional cordless drivers, saws and the likes just didn't exist, so in that world the CHAMP RULES. I now have an even better respect and appreciation for all the hundreds of 30 DAY SWISS CHAMP CHALLENGES Butch compleated and would give him the SUPERCHAMPDAD badge if there was one.
THANK YOU :salute:
DAD!!
That's as close as I can get to giving you the badge you earned long before there was an MTo. :hatsoff:

So, to close out this mournful post, I shall say; thank you to everyone who participated with photos, uses, and kind words!
I'll be over in the General Tool section for a while, playing with a Schrade Tough Tool. A very different tool to the SwissChamp, which should make it another enjoyable challenge.
Best regards to everyone. :cheers:
Day 30

Day 30:
I went ice fishing with a buddy today. A bitter cold day, but the chance of fishing was too good to pass up.

I wanted to secure my reel seat to ensure the reel wouldn't slip out (that could be awkward), so I used a zip-tie to lock it in place. Champ trimmed the excess tie off:

Spent a long cold day hovering over a few different holes in the ice.

We didn't get a single bite, much to our surprise. But that's fishing. Still, a fun day out on the ice. Even the sun came out to enjoy the late afternoon. :tu:

Now for my conclusion, FIRST THANKS BARRY AND BILL FOR A GREAT 30 DAYS. THANKS BILL FOR A GREAT PRIZE, :popcorn: :mail: :popcorn:.
Thanks for a TON of reading just to keep up everyone. Lisa I hope you got your Champ back and again thanks for the Mini-Champ.
Now to the Champ itself. It is a great tool and I definately understand how it was Butch's tool of choice all those years. Only two times did it fall short for me in 30 days. That's impressive! There were several of the tools I never really had an opportunity to utilize. Having been in the field with pliar based MT's for so many years I found myself glad I did this challenge after I moved into the office. The Champ is quite capable but I've been spoiled to My SwissTools. The Champ has features SwissTools don't, but for me the size and grip of the pliars and wire cutters, length and reach of the drivers and over all ruggedness religate the Champ to a secondary carry. When Butch was in the field Pliars based MT's, functional cordless drivers, saws and the likes just didn't exist, so in that world the CHAMP RULES. I now have an even better respect and appreciation for all the hundreds of 30 DAY SWISS CHAMP CHALLENGES Butch compleated and would give him the SUPERCHAMPDAD badge if there was one.
THANK YOU :salute:
DAD!!
That's as close as I can get to giving you the badge you earned long before there was an MTo. :hatsoff:
Nicely said, Douglas! :2tu:

The 30th Day

Okay, maybe not really 48 hours for the challenge. But I got my mind set on 31 days so I'll add one to make a graph of the used tools.
The SwissChamp didn't get any use today. It's easy enough to carry, so no problems there. Like the Handyman it's quite reassuring to feel it in my pocket.
Something I missed during the Chuck Yeager Challence (Executive).
I'll end this day with a beauty shot of the SC together with the tally list. The list needed replacing once because I wore it down in my pocket halfway through the challenge.

Let me start by thanking you all for organizing this challenge, for participating and taking the time to write about the SC and take photo's.
I'm having a ball on this forum. It was really interesting trying out a new SAK. One that I wanted for years but never bought because I though I wouldn't use it.
In the beginning I thought about buying a pouch but I didn't need it at all. In every day carry I don't feel weighed down by it at all.
The only time size get's in the way is with precision cutting. It renders the Small Blade to be a less useful tool. The Large Blade is perfectly usable for cutting tasks like opening a bag or cutting butter. Minute tasks like cutting the skin of a seed is uncomfortable to say the least.
I've put the results of the tally list in a pie chart. I left out all the tools I didn't use to make it easier to read. Some tools, like the can-opener have multiple functions and can be used for other tasks like poking and prodding. I combined all that under the main tool name.
(https://i.imgur.com/RuVnqI1.png)
It's no surprise the Large Blade get's most use. Normally I would have went for a OHO folder for tasks like this. But I'm proud to say the Smallbenza stayed in the watch pocket the entire challenge.
A lot of the tools didn't see any use at all.
I love the pliers on a SAK, but it does not get much use. Small tools like the Mini Screwdriver and the Tweezers do get moderate use as well.
When I first got plus scales I wondered how useful it would be and this 20 year old pen needed some persuasion to get it working again. Now I don't want to miss the pen anymore. The same goes for the metal pin. Even though it didn't get any use this challenge.
Thanks again all! See you on the next challenge!
kamakiri DAY 30:
HoffChamp did the honors for the 30th and final day of the Challenge. Duties today were light gardening work and mail call. Pliers for the weeds and scissors and small blade for pruning on soft wood and tomatoes.

I was preparing to have the final day for tomorrow, but re-read the initial post and it said 30 day challenge, not 'January' or 'one month' as I had inferred.
In a hurry for the closing ceremonies, I assembled the fleet...
Champs in-service for the Challenge:

My first Challenge taught me a few things about my normal uses and found some new ones with help from the rest of the participating members. While a bit sad that we're at the end, I'll be glad to get all the usual suspects back to their respective jobs within the EDC / in-service line-up. It also helped nudge me in slightly different directions for forthcoming mods/builds. It was a great way to kick off 2019! :hatsoff:
Day 30. Went with the EvoBeast today for the last Wenger Wednesday of the challenge and opened some light postage. It's a novelty to carry really and the sculpted scales make it just a little too bulky to persuade me to carry it more frequently. In comparison I've been impressed with how carryable the SwissChamp really is.A big thank you to Barry for coming up with such a fun way to pass January ...
and a big thank you to all of you who have participated or just read through the splurge of posts each and every day.
Day 30
I have this SwissChamp since '91 where Is looking for a replacement of the Orig. Traveller I've lost.
It saw a lots of use and some abuse followed by some neglecting after I saw that Leatherman Tool and Supertool in El Paso 4 years later.
Somehow it was forgotten for years after while other new fancy pocket tool goodies came in to play.
Two years ago I dug it out and gave it a good overhaul incl. some bending and filing and got it back into real usage.
This 30 day challenge was a great reminder of the old days where it was my only tool, and it was fun :hatsoff:
Still, I don't need a fishscaler and I love to have some more options for certain screws.
The CT41 will stay in my EDC bag for normal days, while the SwissChamp will come out when hiking etc. It's great to have choices :D
A big thanks to Barry, and Bill for the great mini-challenges and all :cheers:
...oh, the pic for today... used the SwissChamp to open the package of a new 4-in-1 sensor thingy :salute:
Day 30
This morning I used the tweezers to find
the right grubscrew that I needed for a handle
As my fingers are to big to get hold of them :D
30 days already! Thanks for the great Challenge everyone and especially Fast Bill for the awesome mini challenges and GAWs! Bit brisk here this morning, but warm compared to what's in store...

And now my final thoughts
But first, thank you FastBill and Barry for bringing us all together :hatsoff:
Second, let's not forget awl the participants and followers that made this 30 days so much fun :cheers:
Now for the Swisschamp, it was a new tool for me, picked up shortly before the Challenge, I wasn't sure at first but quickly warmed up to it, and awlthough I didn't get to use a lot of the tools, I'll get around to them in time.
So for me, the Swisschamp will see more carry not every day, but certainly on days that it matches whatever I'm up to. :tu: :cheers:

Used awl to break ice today, also big blade was used to cut open packages at work today.
Few words about SwissChamp, its very capable tool but doesnt fullfill my needs at work where i need pliers, screwdrivers and blades tho SwissChamp has all those bit those are very akward to use when gloves are on cause cant open desired tool with gloves on.
This will be my first choice to carry if i need small toolpack with me cause it has so many tools but now im gonna use SC only on Sundays.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190131/23a238997f31c1cdcc1d84fdab148780.jpg)

This has been the 1st thing I checked in the morning and the last thing every night. Not to mention several times each day.
Thank you all for this challenge, it has been a very gratifying experience for me. Everyone using the tool I have considered necessary for so long.
Although I did not go for the badge, I did not miss a single post, I kept checking just to make sure.
One more thing, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the kind word of my son. It is just what needed doing Doug.

I still think it has more tools than I want…..but I’m not sure which I’d want to get rid of now….I agree it would be difficult to pare it down, it basically has it all without redundancy. :tu:
I will be carrying it on Sundays as I have in the past. The other SAK’s are yelling my name for attention...think prison riot! :rofl::iagree: same here Sunday is SwissChamp day :tu: :like:
Day 31 — Final Thoughts
(https://i.imgur.com/KjWoNAj.jpg)
OK, this is going to hurt me a bit….and I hope Douglas forgives me…but...Butch was right.
:facepalm:
OMG, I never thought I’d utter those words……what has become of me?
:facepalm:
I signed up for this challenge fully believing I would hate it. I was 99% sure that the Swiss Champ and I would never get along. It was too bulky; it was too big; it was too heavy; it was too geeky.
Boy, was I wrong.
As you guys know, I bought a special pistol belt and sheath for this SAK. I figured that was the only sane way to carry this monster. :dunno:
But a funny thing happened. I slipped it into my pocket and my pants didn’t fall down…even with a regular belt.
Over the course of the challenge, I kept thinking that I would try to use the belt sheath, if only for experience. But, since the Champ carried just fine in a pants pocket, it was easier to just drop it into a pocket.
I tried a clip for a while…until it broke. I liked the clip, but I found I really didn’t even need that.
After using the Champ for a little while, I stopped noticing the bulk of the Champ’s handle. Yes, I’d still say that using a Spartan or Recruit is more comfortable, but the Champ has proved to be just fine for all the routine tasks (and not-so-routine tasks) I’ve tried.
And I came to enjoy the fun of having so many different tools. I didn’t use many of them, but I did use more than I expected. My most used tools were the scissors and the knife blade. I used the can opener a few times and the cap lifter a few times. The pliers came in hand a few times when I was fishing. The ever-useful awl got used several times. To my surprise, I found that I really liked these little spring-loaded pliers. They aren’t as robust as the pliers one finds on a Leatherman Supertool, but for my casual needs, they worked out quite nicely.
The fish scaler seemed silly, even for this fisherman, but it actually got used in some surprising ways. And when I replaced the windshield wipers on Mrs Nix’s jeep, I wanted to measure the wiper arms—that little ruler on the scale came in handy!
What a strange trip it’s been.
I’ve come from genuinely doubting the practicality and usability of the Champ to actually liking it.
I still think it has more tools than I want…..but I’m not sure which I’d want to get rid of now….
I know some guys aren’t going consider the Champ for routine EDC, but—and this completely surprises me—I see the Champ getting more routine use in my future. It won’t just be a desk knife. The Champ is going to continue to go on trips and hikes. My Champ has more adventures in store….
Many thanks to Barry and Fast Bill for starting this challenge up. If you guys hadn’t come up with this challenge, I don’t think I’d have a Swiss Champ in my pocket now. :cheers:
And thanks to Butch for his inspiration and encouragement through out the challenge. It was a real pleasure to learn from a master. Even if I’m feeling slightly embarrassed to have to say, “you were right”. :cheers:

I know some guys aren’t going consider the Champ for routine EDC, but—and this completely surprises me—I see the Champ getting more routine use in my future. It won’t just be a desk knife. The Champ is going to continue to go on trips and hikes. My Champ has more adventures in store….
Many thanks to Barry and Fast Bill for starting this challenge up. If you guys hadn’t come up with this challenge, I don’t think I’d have a Swiss Champ in my pocket now. :cheers:
And thanks to Butch for his inspiration and encouragement through out the challenge. It was a real pleasure to learn from a master. Even if I’m feeling slightly embarrassed to have to say, “you were right”. :cheers:
I've got the Badge! :woohoo:

...looks legit :tu:
Congratulations on your badge GJ :cheers: :like:
Well this was a nice month to really get a feel for the Swisschamp. Great SAK, but definitely overkill for my needs. Really my customs are overkill as well, but not as big. Glad to be able to carry them again

Congrats to all who participated! :hatsoff:
I've got the Badge! :woohoo:Congratulations - and yes it’s real! :rofl: :cheers:
Put mine to use replacing the belt on a 1910 Singer for my wife. Pliers, caplifter, large blade and awl all came thru for me!

Same here. I miss my Champ!
Good news! My brother found my SwissChamp right where I thought it was. He's bringing it back to me.Excellent news! I know that one means a lot to you! :cheers:
I have missed it.
There are Victorinox/Wenger that I collect and keep pristine, then there are the few that I use, this SwissChamp was one of them. :salute:
Thank you RR and Wspeed!
It was right where I left it on Day 8 of the challenge. :oops:
I don't know what distracted me to not put it back in my pocket that day after the photo shoot. But I'm quite happy with the outcome of getting it back. :tu:
Stunningly late to pick up on this ... well done Douglas - it was a fun challenge and great to co-host with Barry. :cheers:And where do you think you've been young man?
