Title: New Year's Swisschamp Challenge
Post by: Barry Rowland on December 06, 2018, 04:09:45 PM
Fast Bill and I have been working on this for awhile, and it's finally here!  I'm inviting all here the chance to carry a living legend for 30 days and see if we can't add to the lore.  Beginning 1 January 2019 (Can you believe it's already 2019??!!), accept the challenge of edc'ing the mighty Swisschamp!  As always, if you need anything else for work, etc it's fine but let us know where the Swisschamp fell short.  Come all!  Everyone is invited!!

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.

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.

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.....)

(Mostly because I think I'll need the support and encouragement. Is it true these weigh 4.25# without the T&T?)

Well damn, I carried SwissChamp daily from the day I got it until end of October, when I got my Cybertool 41, a long time dream SAK of mine, and have carried it since on the go, though SwissChamp still is what's used when around the house. But I guess I'll get some home tasks done, or could the "2000 variation" be allowed at least occasionally?

No...no, no! 

Four layers is my sweet spot. Actually, 2-layers is my sweet spot, but I'll do 4-layers for the extra tools.

No!

If I can do this challenge (and I'm not saying I can, but I'll give it a shot.), YOU can do this challenge.   :pok: :pok: :pok:

I was just poking around the inter web and noticed that a Field & Stream article from 2008  rated the Swiss Champ as one of the "20 Best Knives Ever Made"


Quote
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.

Yes Butch is, but with 40+ years of carry 30 days just would'nt be much of a challenge for him.  :facepalm:  He would probably sleep through it.  :pok: :pok:

Myself on the other hand... :climber:
I will take up the mantle to see if the Camp can earn it's name in my book. :whistle:
Count me in.
This is gona be a Tough Tool challenge.

Oh wait that starts when the Champ ends. :multi:

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.

You are most welcome son, That is just what dads do, as you learned well.
I may join but it would not really be a challenge for me. I use the Champ for everything. My only problem is committing to all those photos.
 Thanks nix for letting me know about this.

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.

However I will follow the challenge from the sidelines

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. :/

Among 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.

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.

He won't for quite some time.
His misfits crew had a good time after they found Mags secret whiskey storage hidden behind the bows water pump. No one felt responsible for the course corrections for far too long I heart.
They had to surface to find out where they are because the periscope wouldn't work for some reason  :dunno:

Is it possible to carry also a Spirit with the SwissChamp?
Title: Re: New Year's Swisschamp Challenge
Post by: Barry Rowland on December 17, 2018, 12:54:46 AM
Absolutely.  The only thing that I ask is to use the Swisschamp as your primary tool and let us know where it came up short that made you resort to another tool.

So what belt sheath do you lads suggest for the Swisschamp?  This one:  Victorinox Swiss Army Cordura Belt Pouch, Black #33214 ?

Or maybe the leather sheath for the XLT, which would be a little big on the inside for my Swisschamp but would work.

As far as weight goes, the Swisschamp is no heavier than a mid-sized multitool that many of us have already carried.  But it is a different form factor, for sure.

BTW, I ordered the 33240.

However, I'm now a bit alarmed to learn that that sheath is not kevlar or steel reinforced.  Seems doubtful that such a massive tool could be carried in a mere nylon sheath. But I'll give it a go, if only to improve the knowledge of MTo.

Douglas, pocket carry?  :rofl:  Oh, you are a jokester!   :rofl:  Good one!   :rofl:

But, no, really, what sheath and belt will you be using?  :think:

Post by: powernoodle on December 17, 2018, 02:39:13 AM
Pocket carry would certainly work.  I've got a Glock 43 in my pocket right now, which with ammo and holster clocks in at 23 ounces or 650 grams.  After a brief learning period, your brain for gets its there.  So a 190 gram Swisstool is no prob really.  It depends on what you are used to.  I ordered a 33240 sheath as well.

It has a very mild and cooperative temperment for posessing such powerfull magic over the Spirit.
Seriously, It is the nite ize hip clip.  If you follow the instructions it has an amazing hold and with an ever so slight modification using a dremel it almost looks and feels like it was factory made to fit the Spirit.  It would look better on the SS version than it dose on the BO, but it is still shaped and sized just right even on the BO Spirit. :rofl:

I think I found something similar on the big river. With mojo.

Hopefully it arrives in time for the challenge. I'm assuming these can only be used with jeans that have riveted pockets (to avoid the pockets being torn out under the load). During chino days, I'll revert to the belt sheath.

Next time you need to have a counterweight on your back! You need to weigh your front side and your backside separately and then add the champ weight to your front numbers and then just balance it on your back weight.

Fits perfectly.
Search the net for Victorinox 4.0535  :salute:

That looks like a good one, but doesn't seem to be readily available here in The Colonies.  In addition to the 33240 sheath I ordered, I have a giant bin full of all manner of various holsters I've hoarded over the years, so I'll come up with something

So what belt sheath do you lads suggest for the Swisschamp?  This one:  Victorinox Swiss Army Cordura Belt Pouch, Black #33214 ?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Victorinox-Swiss-Army-Cordura-Belt-Pouch-Black-33214/372533060205?epid=2255448944&hash=item56bcb3626d:g:6ogAAOSwAThcEQH9:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true

Or maybe the leather sheath for the XLT, which would be a little big on the inside for my Swisschamp but would work.

:iagree: I have this sheath too. One of the advantages of the 4.0535 is the optional (c'mon Vic, really?) chest straps - properly rigged and combined with the forward stabilisers, you can carry the Swissclump for several minutes without falling over. BTW I'm typing this from the floor while waiting for my smurf (Swissclump Hazard intervention Team) to come help me stand.

Well, the balancing act doesn't have to be 1:1 exactly, as long as the weights on each side are comparable. A SC on one side and a Cybertool 41 or Lite on the other? Reduces tool overlap from 100% to more manageable proportions...

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:

All of my Champs have either been back to the Vic spa for a complete redo or were bought new since I joined here, so I really do not even know which is the oldest. As to the tools, I used them all, that is why I liked the champ so much. With that said, I used the corkscrew way more than you might guess, not for corks but for getting small pieces of broken stuff out of tight places , like broker glass or porcelain out of dishwasher pumps. The awl comes in very handy for scratching a line on sheet metal before cutting. The curve on the can opener can be a great help in sliding between two surfaces that are stuck and prying apart. I am sure I will remember many more, that come to mind right now, as the challenge progresses............Right now my head hurts from all this heavy thinking......... :dunno: :hatsoff:

A razors edge and more SNAP than a new born it's prety easy to see the Champ really comes from great stock.

Thanks Guys.  I'm going to have to do some research.  I think the pouch may be original, it's definately period correct.  These are really in amazing condition.  The scales do have some cracks but they are still solid and to me they are just a beautiful part of Gramp's character, each one telling just a little bit more of his long story.
So any one here know if these were issued with leather pouches????

I'd love to participate, but first have to source a SwissChamp somewhere.
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.

I have one for sale, it's from 1988/1991. Pretty good condition but may need new scales. Interested?

Thats a very good idea. I have a case on a Hercules that's a bit worn. I revived the leather, but the velcro is loose. So adding a snap would make it useable again. Perhaps I even have some laying around.

Perfect timing for the Challenge really. I intend to to pocketcarry, but am willing to switch to a pouch if I need to. This saves me buying a pouch.

The bulk of the SwissChamp feels quite odd in my hand when using the main blade. It feels as though the handle bit is going to get in the way whilst using the knife.

I'm guessing (hoping) I'll get used to that.   :dunno:

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.

As a plot twist I also got my dads SwissChamp. But I find it hard to accept it from him, that's why I returned it to him a while ago.

Anyway, got a message today my SwissChamp and it's mates are on the way. :gimme:

Too bad camo does not come in plus scales...
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.

According to the tracking code my Champ is due for delivery today...

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:

The important thing here, Greg, is that you not get hurt or injure yourself, or irreparably damage your trousers.

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!

Wise Words Nix !

That's a good reminder everyone - if you're using a belt pouch don't forget a belt. Its an easy mistake to make and no-one needs bruised toes do they ?

Too bad camo does not come in plus scales...

You could put Camo on one side, and Black Plus or White Plus on the other.

Not Camo, but you get the idea.

This is a tempting challenge.  I have one, but haven't carried it in ages since I stick to my two custom SAKs.  It may be fun to carry it again for a month, but I know I'd miss my usuals.  Mine has a black scale and red one.  Are we to post a pic each day?  I haven't been very active on here for a while, but this could help get me back in here more regularly.  I know Mags misses me ;)

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

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.

These are my options depending on what I wear  :D

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).

A have one I can toss in the mail to you,  pm sent

SwissChamp is still the ultimate pocket knife (in my narrow opinion of course!)  :D

I think the perfect pocket knife is still the Climber, but the SwissChamp is just... more.  :D

So, given that we are pretty near the start, should we establish the rules now, eg, what counts. What do you think of this list:

Unmodded SwissChamps any age, probably obviously included,
XLT and other model as well.

What about champions? Vintages okay since they're the SwissChamp equivalent of their time?

Modded SwissChamp, is it still allowed if you remove tools?

Cybertool L similar size and toolset, closest equivalent in its line.


So that's probably covers it, so what you think, what can and cannot be used for this?

During the NYSC I had planned to use my Wenger champ to change the scales on my swisschamp. I thought it would be like a double-double challenge and would make an interesting picture for the forum. I was absolutely positive I had a pair of silver plus scales to do this with. Turns out they are just regular scales and not plus. Does anyone know where I can get some plus scales in silver? Any other plus scales in an unusual finish would be nice too.

It's getting so exciting awaiting the start of 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:

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.

*especially for your apparent back strength

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.

*especially for your apparent back strength
Oh!  That's such a good idea!  :like:

Absolutely Lisa!  We'd love to have you join us!  As far as it goes, Swisschamp, variants including the XAVT and XLT, Champion, and the Wenger are good to go.  Carry anything you want along with it, as long as the Swisschamp, et al is your primary carry.  If you have to resort to your back up, tell us why.

Really, I didn't know this. I went out on a limb to get a hold of a SwissChamp and have two Champions laying about!  :rofl:

Hmm, I'm not sure about the belt yet.

Maybe I'm going to try a case, but I'm not sure yet.

In preparation for the challenge the CyberChamp Lite (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,80133.0.html) has proved relatively unobtrusive in my jeans pocket the past few days. It was used to cut tape around packages, open beer bottles, test the screws on a self-assembly cupcake holder, turn a square locking stud, shine a light into dark corners and as impromptu Xmas tree ornament :D

Can't wait to start!

Happy New Year's Eve and a prosperous, healthy and safe 2019 to all at :MTO: and their family and friends!

Post by: Mactire404 on December 31, 2018, 02:45:51 PM
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.

*especially for your apparent back strength

Oooh, I really like the sound of this! I'm looking forward to the challenges!
The DoubleChamp challenge should be no problem. The more the merrier they say!

Come to think of it, I wanted to keep track of the times I used the tools to make up some statistics after this challenge.

Italics are tools both on the SwissChamp and MiniChamp.
The greyed out tools are not on my SwissChamp or MiniChamp.

I'm really curious how this will pan out.

You know what, after carrying the Swisschamp for a couple of days suspended in my pocket, I find it much more comfortable than the Fieldmaster laying in the bottom of a pocket. And also of note, the Fieldmaster has been my EDC for a few months now, and I don't find the Swisschamp that much stranger in my hand  :woohoo:
Title: Re: New Year's Swisschamp Challenge
Post by: Rapidray on December 31, 2018, 10:23:28 PM
It’s not the weight, as that’s nothing. It’s how it handles in my hand doing tasks!  It’s the width that I need to get used to.

Agreed, for me it's going to be the main blade, the further away from the center, the less I like it, but I've gotten used to the Fieldmaster, I also expect it to be a small annoyance compared to all the utility of the other tools

I'm either out or I'll be starting late.  My attempts to purchase a SwissChamp on E-Bay have been unsuccessful. I'm currently the high bidder on a couple of auctions but I have already lost 4 others.  I may win one or both of these, but they don't end until the end of the week so I couldn't start tomorrow.  Good luck to the rest of you.

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.

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.

(https://i.imgur.com/DzXBsVO.jpg)
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

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:

Day 1
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:

Spin 2

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!

Well planned there MacT. especially with the cards. And obviously you can't go opening the playing cards just to play a Joker can you?  :cheers:

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 mighty toilet bottle opener. Removed some lime and then closed it again. Should work for another couple of months.

One of our cats was hiding under the recliner chair

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.

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.

I'm glad there wasn't any fireworks going on here. Mr. M would not have liked it   :pok:

Very cute!  :salute: Here's Mr P...

You didn’t tell Mr P there was SAK in there did you?  :whistle:

Nah, he's not that interested in SAKs, just food... lots of it... He's going on a diet this year too.
Oh, so that’s the look he gave you when you told him about the diet.  :whistle:
Cool looking cat by the way!

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:

Day 1
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:

Spin 2

Post by: Alan K. on January 01, 2019, 06:53:56 PM
Got my Hoppin John on the stove right now and it is smelling so good!

 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:

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.....

Day 1
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:

Spin 2

Got my Hoppin John on the stove right now and it is smelling so good!

 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:
I like it! Both the food and the history!  :tu:

Day 1


Powernoodle Day 1

(https://i.imgur.com/Jy7K2we.jpg)
The combatants:  Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.


:iagree:

Are they going to fight for a spot in the pouch? :D

That's probably D'artagnan in his Essart's uniform, he's just cunning and doesn't like to draw attention.

Anyway this trio or quartet inspired me to dig up my old beaten copy of the classic, may give it a reread. Good book,   I recommend it, more action focused than Monte Cristo as well, so a lighter read, actually suitable even for less diligent readers despite the page count, it's one of the few books one of my brother's has finished.

But on to business, my pic with tools I definitely remember using today, packages, some stubborn batteries to pry out.

 CT41 had to give an assist as I swapped batteries to a keychain light with tiny screws. Kinda hope that job was in vain though, as I finally convinced my mother to carry a SAK by replacing the light with my Midnite Manager. :woohoo:

Mactire - Day 1

(https://i.imgur.com/kXszLVl.jpg)
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/c54G0U8m.jpg)

(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

Just to clarify, I usually make blackeye peas on new year's day, not Hoppin' John, although I like that recipe and make them that way too!  :)

Ready to tackle day 2, the most useful upgrade I made to my SwissChamp was the new style file, it rips.  :tu:

Tea, anyone?

 CyberChamp on standby with hook extended - just in case it is needed to retrieve the tea bag's wire and label tab from death by drowning in tea. No need this time *phew*.

So the apples are way easier to quarter than to slice them with the SwissChamp...

This is going to be a problem for me, I like to hold them in my left hand and take slices off with the knife in my right, I was getting used to the Fieldmaster, not so sure about the Champ

I haven't hunted down an apple yet, but the quartering technique makes sense....

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.

Day 02. For Wenger Wednesday I've swapped my SC for my Evogrip 54. I've not carried this often and it does make the Champ look svelte  :think:

Used it to help with some leverage to help with headlight  bulb changing this evening.

Good job Bill  :salute:

Headlight bulb changing can be cumbersome these days. No, I'm not talking about that famous actor  ::)

Well they were designed to accentuate a whole actually new line, you'd think they would put extraordinary care to that, and they're indeed sweet. I had a Midnite Manager with them for long but those aren't really as impressive as the ones on my CT41.

Mactire - Day 2

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)
Needless to say, I am a sucker for vintage/antique tools, gadgets, and gizmos. :)

So I tried opening hazelnuts
With the pliers today  :D
Didn’t do a bad job but anything
bigger and it wouldn’t of worked  :think:

Bored? Come and help me - I am swamped here and could use a hand. Karate gangs don't run themselves you know.
Where are you at  :think:
I am ready right now  :salute:
Great! I'm at the corner where Mr Lally's shop is. We're trying to hold off Mandy Gunsbergs 'January Spartan Challenge' gang using our Swissclump pliers.
Ok I will be right there  :tu:
I will bring my SwissChamp and the XLT
Ready with the pliers already opened   :D

Another good start today, with great pics and uses today, y'all! :climber:

Not to worry, I knew what you meant...I have done the same in the past myself!  :tu:
I would like to know more about the magnifying glasses though. They look really interesting! Power, how were they used, etc. thanks  :like:
Thanks, Ray!  :cheers:
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)
Needless to say, I am a sucker for vintage/antique tools, gadgets, and gizmos. :)
And what better way to remember our past than? Each one is a time capsule. I like having that stuff around, especially my slide rules. They still work in todays world, just as then did back then.  :tu:

Very true!  :iagree: :cheers:

In the world today, so many take for the granted how incredible past technology and innovation had been. The mere thought of the brilliance, some people possessed  to contribute to our modern world. The slide rule being a great example. I think about it in terms that if nobody had ever seen one and then creates one from a special idea.

Just some help replacing old/broken garden ties form the wind on new year's day.

One of my more frequent uses for 2.5mm (or any Vic) pliers is pulling weeds. Grabs down to the roots better than my fingers and more precise or less intrusive than the weeding tool.

Really? You cannot win this one.

Either Darth Vapor will use his special force and turn everything into dust or will meet the Clown Troopers, which will torture you with a gargantuan amount of very bad and very flat jokes until you die of boredom oder mad laughter.

 :iagree:, and done!  :tu:  Just felt stupid and embarrassed doing it. Wood saw would have ripped right through. Metal saw is a bit awkward for cutting green wood and there was a bit of turning, twisting on the root needed to get it done. Pliers may have assisted.

EDIT:
And that reminds me of the needed cleanup. Wood really clogs the MS teeth quickly.

Reminds me why I like Champions and Champs...Last weekend I had a Troubleshooter on me and we went on an impromtu short hike with another family. I saw a broken root that was a tripping hazard and reached for...NO WOOD SAW.  :-[ Wished I had some kinda Champ at that moment.  Failed to prepare that day.

Troubleshooters are great!  :tu: Actually the metal saw can be used to cut wood in a pinch, just sayin'...  :cheers:

 :iagree:, and done!  :tu:  Just felt stupid and embarrassed doing it. Wood saw would have ripped right through. Metal saw is a bit awkward for cutting green wood and there was a bit of turning, twisting on the root needed to get it done. Pliers may have assisted.

EDIT:
And that reminds me of the needed cleanup. Wood really clogs the MS teeth quickly.

I must admit, I'm not a fan of the SAK saw (93mm and smaller), but I'm starting to appreciate them more and more.  :cheers:

Mactire - Day 3

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!

I'll be putting mine to use replacing an outlet later today, pics to follow.  In the meantime, a vanity shot!

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.

It 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.

Day 4

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.

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4845/32725902808_8ca2df0f93.jpg)
Great photo...that 58 is just so small compared to the 91.

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.

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 did find that the added girth of the Swisschamp really adds leverage when using the screwdriver!

I got tired of seeing this loose nail on my porch step. Grabbed the nail head with the pliers and lifted it out while twisting back and forth, it was still pretty tight in there. Replaced with a screw which won't back out with wood movement. SAK pliers are  :tu: :salute:
Nice to know the pliers are up to the task!  :tu:

Mactire - Day 5

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.

(https://i.imgur.com/p9oKGxVm.jpg)

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!

I need to get a parts set myself...I have 3 SAK that can use a couple of things to be 100%.  :tu:

A long time ago, before I understood the supremacy of the Swisschamp, I stole the Plus scales from it for another SAK.  But with the advent of this challenge, I needed to replace those Plus scales.  My psyche doesn't feel good if I don't have Plus scales in my pocket.

Use the Swiss Champ scissors to work on some fishing gear. I spliced on some fresh line and re-attached a swivel snap. I don't know where I'd be without a pair of Vic scissors in my pocket.......

  :iagree:  I think I often carry a SAK just for the scissors. One of the reasons the Compact is so great. And, if nothing else, I'll have a 58mm or 65mm SAK with scissors with me.

Victorinox scissors are far more precise than the competition.  Leatherman scissors, etc., might be good for cutting canvas or heavy paper, but for precision like finger boo boos, its got to be Victorinox.

Day 7

Deep into a kitchen remodel.

Used the Phillips to remove old ceramic handles that are too good to toss, might toss 'em on eBay for some SAK money.  :facepalm:

Now THAT'S putting your Swisschamp to work Lisa!  I'm really finding this knife to be a Pocket toolbox.  I did the Stack Challenge alone last year and didn't have nearly the fun or experiences.

Yeah, got it and a bigger one, just by asking nicely when the Finnish retailer Motonet switched to blister packaging. I do have the problem however, that so far the cabin's outshine anything actually in my collection. Or I think so, of course people not collecting find the collection itself pretty impressive.

Though a lot of "my collection" has been given to family, pretty much anything they'll use, because I really prefer user knives anyway, seems like a waste to let them collect dust, but I'm too cheap to use knives that would then drop in value.

Most of my collectibles I have gotten super cheap with larger lots or incidentally when shopping users. Well I, guess I could sell or trade some. And anything looks good in the cabinet anyway I guess

It's the Second Week of the Challenge folks !

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.

Mactire - Day 8
Got some use out of the SC at work today. Can't share any pictures because it would involve patient data.
I used the pen to keep track of the worklist and assisted IT with opening a computer. The Inline Philips screwdriver worked great!

At home the SC was back to mail duty. It helped unpacking a new friend... more photo's about that one in another thread.
The other package contained brake lights for my bikes. I wonder how they will work...

The fried ripe plantains are a Spanish side dish served with dinners or all by themselves. They are that good! I usually place these in the microwave for 5 minutes and they are gone in another 5 minutes. Your time may vary! And speaking of time...

Did you get your coffee at Black & Bloom?  :D

Never heard of Black & Bloom, but apparently they are 400 meters from where I work  :facepalm:

Day 08:

(https://i.imgur.com/PORq2Tn.jpg)

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.

Lived in kalispell for year or so back in the 80’s, love Montana !

Then, the scissors saw action again, opening some Alder wood chips for use later when I grill some turkey burgers this evening:

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:

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:
That looks great! Yum yum :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.

I'll be looking forward to great news in a couple of weeks FB.  I know that sick feeling and the frantic search that accompanies it.  I spent two weeks searching every where I could think of over a Compact.  I can't imagine a Champ.  Prayers of reunion have been sent up.
P.S.  I found my Compact in the track the Truck seat runs on for adjusting it's position.

Mactire - Day 9

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!

Mactire - Day 9

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!

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!

Day 10

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

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.

Day 11:

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!

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190111/1cca826d6df44043b364a42a318e1b04.jpg)

The man remembers he had it before he moved to the current place they live in. They moved 48 years ago...

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

That's a beautiful knife Mech!  I know what you mean about the good 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!

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:

Day 11:

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!

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190111/1cca826d6df44043b364a42a318e1b04.jpg)

The man remembers he had it before he moved to the current place they live in. They moved 48 years ago...

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

:cry:
You are now officially a ‘Caretaker’ - a good thing!  :hatsoff:

Question for you guys:

is it "SwissChamp" or "Swiss Champ"?

I prefer the later, but think it's the former.....yet....

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.

(https://i.imgur.com/NqVy6nI.jpg)


Of course, every good pizza deserves a nice beverage to accompany it:

Day 11:

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!

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190111/1cca826d6df44043b364a42a318e1b04.jpg)

The man remembers he had it before he moved to the current place they live in. They moved 48 years ago...

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

Sad.... but nice  :hatsoff:

As I needed two pliers to remove
the split ring from a Pokemon key ring
So I could fit it to my Spyderco knife

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.

Yeah, I did use both hands... on one of those big screws you find on furniture... the ones that lock-and-pull different parts together.
Bending it back I've used two plier wrenches leaving enough space, so more material, between them so it will not break so easy.
The tip I finished off with a file.

Day 11:

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.

(https://i.imgur.com/GrhrZs6.jpg)


By the time I headed back to the truck, the river was ahead by four lures..... still, a bad day fishing beats any day at work!   :tu:

Adjusted and zeroed the scope tower. Much easier with the magnifier long screwdriver on the Wenger Champ than the can opener screwdriver on the SC.

Disaster though, I dropped the champ and knocked a chunk out of the scales.

Day 12

Used the crosshead screwdriver
To remove the lid from my storage box
And I removed the hinges
as they have been damaged

The crosshead screwdriver
was not the easiest to use
As it isn’t in the middle of the tool layout

Great SwissChamp action Wim  :hatsoff:

So...I have a pocket full of tools, but most of the time I'm reaching for these scissors. It reminds me why I asked Syph to make me a 'Compacter' with just and knife blade, awl, and....scissors.

Still, I'm enjoying the Swiss Champ a lot more than I thought I would.   :tu:

It always surprises me how often I use the scissors.

Adjusted and zeroed the scope tower. Much easier with the magnifier long screwdriver on the Wenger Champ than the can opener screwdriver on the SC.

Day 12

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.

Day 11:

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.

(https://i.imgur.com/GrhrZs6.jpg)


By the time I headed back to the truck, the river was ahead by four lures..... still, a bad day fishing beats any day at work!   :tu:

I marked our boat bollards so snowmobiles won't hit them and crash or break.

Should probably post for a badge, but can't remember the procedure.

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

Day 12

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.

(https://i.imgur.com/5Sljhua.jpg)
That numerical numbers on the watch is nice!  :like: :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.

This is my first SAK with the magnifier, it looks fragile to me, and I wonder if heat from the sun might expand the frame and let the lens pop out
I’ve never had any problems with mine.

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!

This challenge has proven that a standard Swiss Champ is not enough for my needs.

Most used tools on the XLT are:

  • Bit driver
  • Bottle opener
  • Pruner
  • Scissors
  • Pliers
  • Fish scaler

So it's nice to have the eXtended Large Toolset [XLT].

What do you use the most?
The bit driver
Scissors
Pliers
Electricians blade
Small blade
Large blade

Those are the ones I use a lot  :tu:
I haven’t had a use for the pruner blade
Or the fish scaler but sometimes
I need the magnifying glass and tweezers
To remove metal splinters from my hands
Well for the short amount of time you have owned it, I would say your doing good on the tool usage!  :like: :tu:
Thanks again Rapidray  :cheers: :like:

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.

I always use the others because those screwdriver are on 99% of the SAK...that “porpoise” one isn’t, so I keep forgetting about it. I am trying to use it as the scraper but nothing yet!

Triple feature... I've been taking photo's and marking my checklist every day. But I had very little screen time the past days...

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.

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!

Thanks everyone!  I've tried to find a use but can't.  I agree Kamakiri, in that a fine Philips head would fill the space better.  The only thing I could think of was for the fine headed adjustment screws in electronics.  I don't have any older radios or TV's to see.

Used the electricians blade to open
the package on a universal adapter
And the flathead screwdriver
On the bottle opener
to adjust the voltage to 6v

No problems using the electricians

Triple feature... I've been taking photo's and marking my checklist every day. But I had very little screen time the past days...

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.

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.

Nice hike today. Temps were low, but it was sunny and I worked up a decent sweat while going along.

No uses for the SwissChamp today; that was partially because I had taken a Mora along for a little fun.    :facepalm:

Mactire - Day 14

We're about halfway through and the challenge is coming along nicely.
I don't really notice any difference in carrying the SwissChamp  opposed to my usual Handyman.
Using it is a different story, at times it can feel a bit awkward.

It's DoubleChamp Monday, so the MiniChamp tagged along for the ride. Sadly, it didn't get any use today.

(https://i.imgur.com/k753r6K.jpg)
I had to cut up a A4 to make A7 note paper. The Large Blade made short work of that.
The SC also saw some less interesting uses, so I'll end to day with two of the more interesting ones.

(https://i.imgur.com/qQbgHZn.jpg)

I opened a bottle of Yuzuka with the Bottle Opener. Yuzuka is a German beverage resembeling Fanta, but with Yuzu flavor. Yuzi is a Japanese citrus fruit, sweeter than a lemon and has a bit more herbal flavor.
I also made a Buttercake (Boterkoek). I used the Large Blade to measure and cut the butter.

Looks like a good read Barry, if you get a chance look up the Tent Dwellers by Albert Bigelow Paine. It follows a canoe/fishing trip through southwestern Nova Scotia in the early1900s, it's a personal account that was first published as a series in the N.Y. Times  :cheers:

Mactire - Day 14

We're about halfway through and the challenge is coming along nicely.
I don't really notice any difference in carrying the SwissChamp  opposed to my usual Handyman.
Using it is a different story, at times it can feel a bit awkward.

It's DoubleChamp Monday, so the MiniChamp tagged along for the ride. Sadly, it didn't get any use today.

(https://i.imgur.com/k753r6K.jpg)
I had to cut up a A4 to make A7 note paper. The Large Blade made short work of that.
The SC also saw some less interesting uses, so I'll end to day with two of the more interesting ones.

(https://i.imgur.com/qQbgHZn.jpg)

I opened a bottle of Yuzuka with the Bottle Opener. Yuzuka is a German beverage resembeling Fanta, but with Yuzu flavor. Yuzi is a Japanese citrus fruit, sweeter than a lemon and has a bit more herbal flavor.
I also made a Buttercake (Boterkoek). I used the Large Blade to measure and cut the butter.

Yummy  :drool:

To push the felt in the edges

No problems using the spatula for the lid

Mactire - Day 15

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.

Day 16

Today I used the Phillips to help someone close to me, and installed a flip down ice pick on their cane, this Phillips has much nicer bite than the backside one on my Fieldmaster  :tu:

Mactire - Day 15

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.

Judging by the title the book may seem depressing, but it's not.
Nice usages!  :tu:

Day 16

Still a bit down from the Flu, doesn't seem to have gotten any worse though, not much usage. Drank some Glögi, a Finnish variant of mulled wine I made leftover from Christmas. Really tasty batch, if I say so myself.

Gave my new (70s late 60s even) Citizen to my brother to fix when he has time. He noticed that the hour hand is a bit misaligned, but told he can reseat it easily, he also has some nice leather bands and an original Citizen steel one.

 He kinda sound like he wanted me to come with though, not something I'm against, I've not really seem him handle watch internals before so I'm curious. Especially as he's rather fiery-tempered so his hobby is interestingly juxtaposed.

The SwissChamp was good company on another fishing trip out to the river today. A very chilly day, but the fishing was hot at times!

(https://i.imgur.com/n8KyPB9.jpg)


Champ saw a good bit of use:

-- Scissors: these got used to trim knots and cut out tangles. They saw the most action.
-- Pliers: these got used to de-barb hooks, remove hooks from fish, and, a couple of times, remove a hook from my gloves.
-- Toothpick: this got used to help pick apart a tangle in the line.
-- Main blade: used to open a snack bar for lunch.

Awl in awl, a busy day for the Champ.  :tu:

Day 16:

The SwissChamp was good company on another fishing trip out to the river today. A very chilly day, but the fishing was hot at times!

(https://i.imgur.com/n8KyPB9.jpg)


Champ saw a good bit of use:

-- Scissors: these got used to trim knots and cut out tangles. They saw the most action.
-- Pliers: these got used to de-barb hooks, remove hooks from fish, and, a couple of times, remove a hook from my gloves.
-- Toothpick: this got used to help pick apart a tangle in the line.
-- Main blade: used to open a snack bar for lunch.

Awl in awl, a busy day for the Champ.  :tu:

Opening a box of dog supplies, then helping me with some home repairs.  Here I ran into a small shortcoming of the mighty Swisschamp...no large Wirecutter!  This is the first time I've had to resort to another multitool.  In the scheme of things, that's not bad!

Opening a box of dog supplies, then helping me with some home repairs.  Here I ran into a small shortcoming of the mighty Swisschamp...no large Wirecutter!  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???

Lovely uses all-around, today!  Nice work!

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:

Mactire - Day 17

Sadly no action shots today. The SC did some minor tasks, like opening a bag of carrots for carrotsoup.
And I made another butter cake, this time with ginger. All uses were noted on the tally list of course.

I wanted to take apart my old USB drive because I've read that it could be a faulty connection. But I'll save that for tomorrow.

...Is also carry an usb, but if I have to be honest, everything goes in the cloud these days.
Where do you use it for nowadays?...

I have mine loaded with portable apps. We are not allowed to install our own software at work and this is my little workaround... I had a Corsair Stealth drive which was supposed to be very durable. But they sadly are not and it didn't take much more for me to loose all my data. So now I have a new one (and made a backup of course).
This drive is my Digital Swiss Army Knive  :D I can burn CD/DVDs, read medical files (DICOM), convert anything into anything, use my own browser and sometimes use a Photoshop like program.


... Fitted a keysafe for my elderly neighbours...

Owww, a KeySafe...  :ahhh You know they should be called a KeyUNsafe. I know Serena already commented on this.
But I have one of those open in three to four minutes. And I'm not a very skilled lockpicker. I know sometimes these boxes are required by regulations, but it's better to stay clear of them if you can.

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.

No offence, but… Listen to this police officer.

Never ever install one of these things!!!!!!!
So many burglaries because of these things.
Just hand over the key to a couple of people you trust.
I know what you mean, I would never have one. But the elderly neighbours have just bought some emergency WiFi wristbands and part of the deal is they have to have one of these by their front door so any health career can gain access in an emergency.
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.

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 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.

Day 18

Not much use for the Champ, used it's kitchen cousins making soup though, I've, found Victorinox kitchen knives for nearly everyone in my family (and the rest unfortunately don't seems to appreciate good tools much, so I'm bit hesitant to get them any.) All who have them have them in daily use.

Also got an exciting email today, my Matterhorn Plus is back in Finland and en route to me, probably going to try it out at leasts a few days of the challenge.

Busy day but I found time for a trim, the file is more suited for hooves than nails, you could easily skip the scissors and go straight to the file  :think:

Day 18:

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.

(https://i.imgur.com/BlwwmMA.jpg)


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.

(https://i.imgur.com/ZQstm6d.jpg)



Swiss Champ came along in a pants pocket. It got brought out here for a glamour shot:

(https://i.imgur.com/RQxMEmG.jpg)


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.
Excellent set up !! Here’s another option.

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.
Excellent set up !! Here’s another option.

It’s a Ka-Bar TDI
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".

Package opening and such today. It came to mind to check on my Wenger collection as the Matterhorn Plus is returning, quite modest. Well actually the Matterhorn is the only one I bought separately, other are from lots. Not that Wenger's seem bad, they're just rarish on often high prized, thus I can't rationalize buying by thinking I can sell them at least at cost, and I've no particular need for them.

Slow day for me.... Or, rather, a fast day; I don't know where it went.... No uses for me, though. The clip-less Champ just rode in my pocket. I'm getting used to it that way.

Nice one...what is causing the purple color?

Weird light and a funny post-processing filter. I thought it was kinda cool.  :dunno:

Tornado touched down about 1/2 mile from my work today(Wetumpka, AL), but that was not enough to dissuade taking a photo of the Champ and friend this evening when I got home.

Thank you, Barry!  :cheers:
It pairs well with the SwissChamp since it is fairly light. Gerber made a good decision slimming down the OG Suspension. :)

Used the saw to remove some broken handles from garbage bins made of PVC.

Nope. The saw went through like it were butter.

Good to hear you are safe.  Hope the tornado was in an open area and not one heavily populated.  Those things can be truely devistating.
Take care my friend and help where you can if needed.  Feel free to PM me if I can provide some basic assistance to someone in need.  Might not be much but I'll do what ever I can.

It appears only one person received minor injuries, which is amazing considering it hit a downtown city area.
Looks like the only structure completely leveled was a church. With another church and a historic bridge partially destroyed.
The miracle is that they got hit on Sat and not Sunday, which kept hundreds from getting hurt/killed.  :angel:

They've even got most of the power restored. My Dad was gonna be mad if his beer spoiled(he lives in that area, but was not hit). :rofl:

Tornadoes on Saturday(with temps in the 70s), and temps dropping below freezing on Sunday. :facepalm:

(https://i.imgur.com/iDJtec9.jpg)

My clip does show a X on the back too, but it's very solid and holds up well so far.
It is not as shiny as yours though. So it would be different in material I guess.

Initially I bent it open a bit as it was too tight.
It did not loosen up or anything.
There are lots of mock-ups etc. available. I'd just try another  :dunno:

Cool pic of a resting SC.... wait... wasn't your SwissChamp a different color?

Package opening and such today. It came to mind to check on my Wenger collection as the Matterhorn Plus is returning, quite modest. Well actually the Matterhorn is the only one I bought separately, other are from lots. Not that Wenger's seem bad, they're just rarish on often high prized, thus I can't rationalize buying by thinking I can sell them at least at cost, and I've no particular need for them.

It's time for the SwissChamp Challenge Second Mini Challenge

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.

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 Challenge

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.
Very nice prize!  :like: :tu:

No use yet for BeaterChamp today. Didn't even do mail call from yesterday yet. Maybe after dinner.  :-\

Anybody watching the lunar eclipse? aka Blood Moon or Wolf Moon...Winter is here...must mean Dragons are coming!

Just watched it 45min. ago until clouds came up covering the sight. I had to get up anyways  :salute:

I'm so damn glad you said something here. I had forgotten about it. :facepalm:

But, since you mentioned it, I have been stepping out and enjoying the eclipse. Weather is perfect in AL tonight for viewing. :woohoo:
It was great over here in Orlando also...my son said it was clear skies in Tampa also.  :cheers:

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.

Ok, this was easy, and not so easy! Mine is Caran d’Ache...Switzerland...they just make the best clutch and mechanical pencils out there. Not to mention pens, rollerball, and fountain pens. This set is my pride and joy. Every thing I like from workmanship, function and elegance. A 2mm clutch pencil in 925 silver. The 80th anniversary set.

As to the time I will go with 1545 hours.

Too true Wispa ! And the SwissChamp sits far more easily in my pocket than I ever dreamt it would.

Must be tea time. And for DoubleChamp Monday I have a choice of Tea Bag Retrieval Systems
Tea time is great time!  :cheers:

Certainly is.  :iagree:

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

Always like a good watch Gath any chance of a pic ? :pok:

Day 21:

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.

Mactire - day 21

Let's finish this post with a tasty picture, a kaiser brötchen with eggsalad and bacon.

Day 22

Cut some string for the Missus 
to use for holding a plant up

No problems using the electricians blade
Very nice usage and the electricians blade is kinda looking good now!  :like: :tu:
It’s definitely my favourite blade on a SAK now
I probably wouldn’t of used it if I wasn’t
doing this excellent challenge  :cheers: :like:

Not much today, I did open a rather interesting package, more on that tomorrow.

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.

Interesting package huh... :popcorn:
I’ve used a good amount of the tools, just not all yet. I think if I had been still working in HVAC I would have used them all by now or just about all.

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. ;)

Consumables are a theme at the Powernoodle Compound.

Nice and they are consumed here as well. I like the compound classification!  :tu:

Mactire - Day 22

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.

Nice photo! And no shadows! When I am looking, the better the photo’s and quantity help make the buying a lot easier! I would say you are on the right path!  :like: :tu:

Is the fix permanent??? If so, how did you do it...I have had the teeth bend and wind up throwing it away. Thanks
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.

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.

kamakiri DAY 23:

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.

Pizza turning with the scaler:

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

Mactire - Day 23

Didn't use the SC until the end of the day.
Used the pen to jot down the milage on the gas-receipt.

(https://i.imgur.com/seLqw8R.jpg)

Opened a can of beans for dinner tonight. After opening it I thought it was odd because these cans usually have a pull-tab...

(https://i.imgur.com/XhDXAvQm.jpg?2)

Turned out it did have a pull-tab after all. I held the can upside down. :facepalm:

(https://i.imgur.com/q6UUmP4m.jpg)

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.

Tomorrow I will have a foot bench again.

Yes, with a bit of force. According to the packaging glue can only be removed 'mechanically'.
I expected to need sandpaper, but the glue didn't have much to grip on the smooth metal and came off cleanly with a fair amount of pressure.

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.

Did stop by Randall made knives and placed an order for a triathlete knife...only issue was they are now 5 1/2 years to delivery date. So in 5 1/2 years I can show you the knife!  :rofl:

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.

Day 25 bonus material:

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'm going with 17:40

On the pictures you see my Champion with the coffee mug I took from Hawaii last year. This mug certainly isn't made on the continent I live on (Europe), but it also isn't made on an other continent...

it isn't made on any continent at all  :ahhh

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'm going with 17:40

I've added myself to the list of other Other continent Mini-challenge entries:

But now I'm wondering. How do you know how a pool table's felt tastes like?
(https://media.giphy.com/media/NITFX5emjpMQ0/giphy.gif)

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!

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:

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.
Excellent...except for your rant!

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!

"I was crying out at life inverts classical hunting and landscape scenes from 19th-century engravings to tell a tale of stags chasing hounds. Then, curiously, the ground shifts and rises, and the animals race together in unison, no longer at odds with one another as they become vulnerable to a larger phenomenon."

Hey Doug, thanks, yes it is  :salute:
I was longing for a 3 layer max. with magnifier and scissors and if possible file too. It's like a Yeoman but swapped positions between the mag and scissor layer. I found the mag better protected in the middle, and the Phillips is in center too then.

Day 27

Used the Corkscrew to undo a knot on
a drawstring for a bag that needed fixing

No problems using the Corkscrew
Made it very easy to remove the knot

Good one W I haven't used the corkscrew during the challenge except to hold the Mini driver which I did use  :tu:

Mail opening duty.
New bearings for Matt Junior's RC car.
He's hit the pavements border sideways at high speed. That destroyed the wheels bearing  ::)

I guess I'll have to find some time soon to repair it.
That would be a job for the CT41 then  :)

kamakiri DAY 26:
BeaterChamp unwrapped a younger, better looking sibling:
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4915/33014686428_e59b5f85ef_n.jpg)
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)

kamakiri DAY 25:

Only apple slicing and package duty today for BeaterChamp.
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4865/31936780277_c2d27e078b_m.jpg)

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:
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4872/45963595975_43dd9c840f_m.jpg)

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.
Excellent...except for your rant!
Looking forward to your future thread on the mod  :like: :tu: :cheers:
: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:

Running low on pick ideas, so there's another book, this copy I've read only once or twice, got it as a kind of a shelf filler as it was very cheap.

So, what's so great in Home Depot?

kamakiri DAY 26:
BeaterChamp unwrapped a younger, better looking sibling:
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4915/33014686428_e59b5f85ef_n.jpg)
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)

kamakiri DAY 25:

Only apple slicing and package duty today for BeaterChamp.
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4865/31936780277_c2d27e078b_m.jpg)

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:
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4872/45963595975_43dd9c840f_m.jpg)

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.
Excellent...except for your rant!
Looking forward to your future thread on the mod  :like: :tu: :cheers:

HoffChamp did mail call duty since a 'sibling' was inbound:
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4893/33026784338_f5664a87be.jpg)
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.

Mactire - Day 26

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...

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.

Mactire - Day 26

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...

Excellent test Mac  :like:

Day 28:

A nice little snow storm last night and another chance to do a bit of cross-country skiing up in the mountains.

Gorgeous day with temps around 20ºF (-7ºC). No uses for the Champ, but it did come along for the journey.  :tu:

We had a cat once. I used a tissue to clean its nose. Perhaps I'll try your technique if we get another cat some day (here I'm assuming you get good results with the MT.....).

I want to thank everyone in advance for a fantastic Challenge!  I did the Stack Challenge, which is the badge for the big SAKs, a year ago and didn't have nearly as much fun as I did this time!  A special thanks to Fast Bill, what put an incredible amount of planning and donations for the mini challenges into this, and to all who helped make this what it turned out to be...a wonderful time!   As I mentioned earlier, there is a badge for the Swisschamp and the Tool Chest, the Stacked badge, which you can apply for in the normal manner.  Let's have a great last couple of days!!

I should have made it more challenging by using the Metal Saw.  ::)

Mactire - Day 28

Sentenced to desk duty today. So not much action for the SC but some nailcare.

(https://i.imgur.com/JzjThQB.jpg)

The minute size of the MiniChamp really shows compared to the other small items in this image. The SwissChamps remains a beast.
Can't wait for the MiniChamp Challenge. I do miss my Handyman however, so I will probably carry that also during the MCC.

Few days left in the SCC. Soon I can carry my Handyman again!  :woohoo:

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.

kamakiri DAY 28:

Boring knife day for DeskChamp. Mail call was two knives from separate orders, but only one envelope because it was from the same vendor.

I should have made it more challenging by using the Metal Saw.  ::)

I can’t believe how quick this month has flown by  :D
:iagree: and learned a few new things!  :tu:
Same here  :tu:
One thing I noticed using the XLT is that
I don’t want to use anything bigger for edc  :D

Really? Now you disappoint me. Here I went expecting you to start an XAVT challenge :D
I wouldn’t mind getting a XAVT one day but not for carrying
I would use it for around the home but to big for edc :D

Mactire - Day 28

Sentenced to desk duty today. So not much action for the SC but some nailcare.

(https://i.imgur.com/JzjThQB.jpg)

The minute size of the MiniChamp really shows compared to the other small items in this image. The SwissChamps remains a beast.
Can't wait for the MiniChamp Challenge. I do miss my Handyman however, so I will probably carry that also during the MCC.

Few days left in the SCC. Soon I can carry my Handyman again!  :woohoo:

I'm often amazed about the Mini's usefulness  :salute:

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

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.

Day 30 review
I am glad that I did this challenge to find out what I think of the XLT
I can’t believe how small the SwissChamp looks now compared to the XLT
The XLT was carried in a sheath on my belt for this Challenge
As I think the XLT is a bit heavy for pocket carry

It was nice to have the extra tools available to use especially the bit driver as I used that a lot but wish I could find some more bits to go with it
I have never used the electricians blade before
and It’s now my favourite blade on a SAK

I only used the XLT for the challenge and one thing that I have noticed with the challenge is that I use a MultiTool more than a SAK


Overall I think it’s a great SAK but would use it more for around the house

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.

Dawn of
The 29th Day
-72 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.

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.

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:

Dawn of
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.

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.

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.

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

Excrement write-up DT  :like:
Sounds like a success for you there  :tu:

I'd like the electrician blade and inline awl as well.

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...

That's the funniest auto-correct failure for quite a while.  :rofl:
Sorry about that Sir :oops:

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:

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! 
Thanks again to everyone here for a wonderful 30 days!

kamakiri DAY 29:

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.  ::)

Pizza looks good! We broke our routine and passed on pizza and had ribs!  :drool:

 :cheers: Thanks Ray!  I'm surprised that I actually use the scaler *frequently* now.

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.
Thank you both for hosting this challenge! It was great! And the mini’s in this were flat out bonus’s  :cheers: :hatsoff:

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:
great post and photo’s for sure. I don’t know what it is but snow makes for some great shots!  :like: :tu:

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! 
Thanks again to everyone here for a wonderful 30 days!
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:

Day 30:

A sad day, but a day to admit a new-found appreciation for the venerable SwissChamp! Will it replace the Explorer I've carried a dozen years? No. But, it could if it needed to. :climber:

First pic is a blatant rip-off of Douglas' image.
(http://i.imgur.com/2OFGPMr.jpg)

Champ got a good cleaning and buffing to make it look as good as a SwissChamp...whaaa?  :woohoo:
(http://i.imgur.com/c41ho9G.jpg)

And the beautiful Champ Plus gets parked in its' favorite display parking-lot to serve as eye-candy.
(http://i.imgur.com/RsKxlrG.jpg)

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:

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

(https://i.imgur.com/sPoriVH.jpg)



Primary tools used today:

(https://i.imgur.com/5GjrKuq.jpg)



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:

(https://i.imgur.com/nQ5JMik.jpg)



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

(https://i.imgur.com/YCedDgV.jpg)



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 SUPER CHAMP DAD 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:

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:

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

Primary tools used today:

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:

DAY 30   :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Sorry to see your SwissChamp is in such a pickle!

Day 30:

A sad day, but a day to admit a new-found appreciation for the venerable SwissChamp! Will it replace the Explorer I've carried a dozen years? No. But, it could if it needed to. :climber:

First pic is a blatant rip-off of Douglas' image.

Champ got a good cleaning and buffing to make it look as good as a SwissChamp...whaaa?  :woohoo:
(http://i.imgur.com/c41ho9G.jpg)

And the beautiful Champ Plus gets parked in its' favorite display parking-lot to serve as eye-candy.
(http://i.imgur.com/RsKxlrG.jpg)

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:

Dawn of
The 30th Day
-48 Hours Remain-

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.

The 31st Day

Right after midnight the SwissChamp returned to it's box.
Like a vampire into the day. It's weight makes sure it doesn't fly off during the night.

(https://i.imgur.com/a9ee9NY.jpg)

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!

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 SUPER CHAMP DAD 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:

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:

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

Go to your profile, then click Show available awards (on the left side). Look up the StAcK badge, then click on the request award badge on the right. Then refer to this thread.

Or isn't that what you meant?

Day 30

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.

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 SUPER CHAMP DAD 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:

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:

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

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:

Congrats to all who participated!  :hatsoff:

And after some great reflections on a tool which deserves much more credit than it gets this succinctly says it all. So right FoBo  :iagree:

I very much enjoyed watching this challenge. I wish I could have taken part.  Unfortunately I have as yet been unable to obtain a Swisschamp of my own.  I was outbid at least 19 times and probably more like 22 or 23 times.  Once when I thought I'd won I was outbid after the auction was supposed to be over because of e-bay's stupid 15 minute rule.  Maybe next time.  Thank you all for the great pictures, and congrats to those of you with a new badge.

I have been reading every post in this challenge and regretting not to be a part of it but when it started I had other holes to fill with my money and could not justify a new SAK that probably wouldn't get much use after the challenge. But after this I might have to get one and try it for my self! It does look great and if there are tools I won't use I can still take them out and then put them in again if I change my mind.

Thank you awl for making January a much more interesting month!

Good news!  My brother found my SwissChamp right where I thought it was.  He's bringing it back to me.
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:
