I have carried it most days for the last 30 odd years, unless I am booted and suited. Since I joined this forum you lot have corrupted me into carrying other models and to be honest I feel like I'm cheating on her, it will be nice to have an excuse to drop her in my pocket.

But in the end of April I'm going to travel with my family to celebrates my grandma's birthday. I need one SAK to take care almost anything. So since last week I picked the Swisschamp again from my drawer. The first day I still thought it was too thick, but after a week I'm in love again with my Swisschamp.
For me it's Swisschamp everyday!

I used to be a Swisschamp guy, but since I carry the Compact or Deluxe Tinker, I feel the Swisschamp was too thick to carry.

When I started reading your post I thought to myself.
"Self, it looks like you might be picking up a nice used SC cheap."
Glad you are getting along with it though. The SC is one of the best SAKs imo.

Yes I'm so happy to carry the SC again after a long time which I always carry another SAK.
For this family trip, at the first place I was confused about which SAK to carry and I have an idea to carry SAK combo such as (Spirit + Compact) or (Deluxe Tinker + Farmer) or (Spirit + Manager). But suddenly I remembered my SC, the SAK that I always carry for several years since 2001 and went to the drawer since I became acquainted with Compact and Deluxe Tinker in 2013.
Btw this time I carry the newer SC, my old SC which my father bought in 1987 was my first SAK and I have no intention to use it again. I keep it for memories purpose.

The SC lives in my "travel pouch" along with a Farmer, a Mountaineer and a Swiss Flash.

Me too SG, my favorite SC currently lives in an SOS set (altered contents) in my tool bag alongside an MT (usually a SwissTool X) and other sundries. Always close by and easy to grab and go if needs be. :)
Very cool T!! :cheers:

Whoo hoo. This is my first time getting to post in this thread. I finally took the plunge this week when I found this Swiss Champ in a local shop just waiting for me to adopt it and bring it home. I always thought the SC would be difficult to tote around and the tools would be awkward to use with its thick size, however, I found all this to just be myth. It carries easy on my belt clip and handles well. I'm impressed and wish that I had one back in my BSA days.

They're awesome edc'rs Batosai! I was always under the same impression, but they really do carry well, and everything is easy to access. Honestly, they really don't feel that much bigger than carrying a 4 layer SAK IMO. Great pic and good to see one on duty!
I was regularly carrying a Ranger and switching with a Deluxe Tinker (both 4 layers) and they carried about the same now that you mention it. I had just started carrying my craftsman (a blend of the ranger and deluxe) when I found the Swiss Champ. Good timing

I never had one. I've always doubted that it could actually be a usable tool considering the width of the SAK. Do you actually use it on a regular basis or is this more a symbolic model for you ?

This is my main one, I got it for $39 new in the package, one of those plastic bubble packages, not a gift box. Package is marked 2007. It has an older style metal file, long phillips/gray mag and it has the hook on back. One of my favorites. It mainly stays on my desk but does get used all the time for repairs. I have one of these cases for it:
https://www.rei.com/product/409212/rainbow-of-california-swiss-army-knife-case
It fits a Champ very snugly, but it does fit. I trust it not to fall out during adventure type activities. Can be worn horizontal or vertical.
Looking at the Cybertool 41/L as an alternative to the Swisschamp (not that I need an alternative, but I DO need to collect more SAKs)

I love SwissChamps. Around 1980-something I had a fake one I bought out of Boys Life magazine once I had earned my Totin' Chip in Cub Scouts. But I dared not dream that one day I could own the real thing. I've had 2 real ones. One was a USA flag one I bought for parts. Technically I still have it, fully disassembled. I'll probably make a Deluxe Explorer out of it.

I've been in mourning the last two weeks over my Swiss Champ. Two weeks ago at work I was pulling the Swiss champ out of my front pocket and I dropped it from my pocket to the ground. From that short of a fall the liner between the flathead opener and the scale dented in so bad I can't fully open the flathead. I was devastated when this happened. My beloved Swiss champ has been retired until I can put money aside for a new one. Until then I've been switching EDC's between the Pioneer X and my Ruby Deluxe Tinker.

My favorite one, a replica of the one I carried for years, vtg. '91-'94. Got my original in '92, now partially disassembled waiting for a refit. This one is a user, but with the Spirit in the same kit and the Pioneer X in my pocket all the time, mostly the scale tools see any regular use now. I really prefer the clean look of the earlier pliers and the old mag. glass, but it might just be because that's how I remember them when I got my first one. The SC is also the only pocket knife I ever carried to inspire blasphemous comments! :D

I don't take part in the challenges and I normally carry a SC, I thought I'd give the XLT a try today, Haven't noticed the difference in size/weight at all

(...)Impressive! What is that beehive grid on the map? I've never seen anything like it. And why do the waterways follow the grid lines? Are they artificial?

Its hexagonal grid (gets rid of time/distance problem with diagonal movement on basic grid). And the map is accurate (on 8km scale) as one hex describes 8000 meters of distance.(...)Impressive! What is that beehive grid on the map? I've never seen anything like it. And why do the waterways follow the grid lines? Are they artificial?
These maps are usually used on strategic or operational wargames as this one too. This being one of those monster games that takes whole human life to play through (thousands of hours from ten to twelve players).
Kind of an never ending hobby that changes to an project after few years of playing. The map itself is ten feet (around 3 meters) long.

The Champion is one of my oldest SAKs. I bought it NIB and have carried it for over 20 years. It's been my desktop SAK after I retired it and replaced it with the black SwissChamp. The latter has been EDC'd for a few office years only, it looks and feels brand new. The stag SwissChamp is a shelf queen.

I thought that I would honor "SwissChamp Sunday" by displaying my 1985/86 SwissChamp on our entertainment center. Note: normally it is a (cotton) snow-covered scene with dozens of little figures playing in the snow. This year we ramped way back on decorations after my wife fell and suffered a compression fracture.

Thanks for your kind thought! It's been 4 1/2 months and she is much better. Hopefully, she will be good as new in a few more months!
With five years of Latin in my younger days, I noticed your tag line. I get the John the Baptist reference (Voice crying in the desert) and the Virgil's Aeneid reference but am puzzled by the PS3 reference.
Happy SwissChamp Sunday!

Sony Playstation! While aware of game stations, I've never used them or seen them in action. Now you know how not plugged into current culture I am. It's a good thing that you didn't make any references to sitcoms from the last 30 years or so because they would have sailed over my head. :rofl:

Love Swiss Champ Sunday!!!
I ended last Swiss Champ Sunday with the purchase of another Swiss Champ. I have the original model that replaced the Champion in 1985 (this original model ran for two years 1985-86). I also have two modern Swiss Champs. I really like the Swiss Champ but sincerely hope I end this day with three Swiss Champs and don't succumb to another SC purchase. :)

There are lots I don't have. Assuming we are only talking about the plain Swiss Champ and not the XLT, XXLT & XAVT, I have only the original replacement model and the 5th variation (2005 to the present). I have two samples of the 5th variation, one with black scales and the other with red scales.
Here is a reference that contains some information on the variations from the original Swiss Champ:

You have convinced me, I need a SwissChamp!
What are your opinions about the magnifier? I personally like the old type better (gray plastic) opposed to the newer one piece ones.

*Sigh* Okay, OKAY! STOP!.
You have convinced me, I need a SwissChamp!
What are your opinions about the magnifier? I personally like the old type better (gray plastic) opposed to the newer one piece ones.
Agree, but the newest magnifier (2012 onwards) is two piece - clear plastic frame with a glass lens - and it's better than the other two. Bigger field of view than the grey one, higher magnification than the previous one-piece design.

I really like the white scales! One of my Swisschamps is the original model that replaced the Champion. I had intended to see if I could sand/polish the existing scales but they turned out to not be original. My plan is to equip this Swisschamp with white scales that I got from Folderbeholder (thanks FB!).
Looking at your SC is great motivation to get on the stick!

*Sigh* Okay, OKAY! STOP!.
You have convinced me, I need a SwissChamp!
What are your opinions about the magnifier? I personally like the old type better (gray plastic) opposed to the newer one piece ones.
Agree, but the newest magnifier (2012 onwards) is two piece - clear plastic frame with a glass lens - and it's better than the other two. Bigger field of view than the grey one, higher magnification than the previous one-piece design.

The grey frame glass magnifiers have been my clear preference and a strong consideration in my multiple Explorer purchases. I thought that my first two Explorer purchases with clear magnifiers were plastic and I quickly put them back in their boxes. Amazon pictured the grey-frame magnifier but the clear magnifiers show up. Since I purchased them for Christmas, they were stored for months and past the return date. When I learned about the newest glass magnifier with clear plastic frame, I had a closer look at the clear framed magnifiers and could see that there were glass with a clear frame. This helped me feel much better about the Amazon purchase. Encouraged by the performance of the clear magnifiers, I picked up an Explorer with a clear magnifier but it turned out to be plastic. I wish I knew how to tell the difference between the plastic and clear framed glass magnifiers from photos. Since I don't, I lean heavily toward the grey-framed magnifier for my purchases. My last two Swisschamp purchases have clear magnifiers and I need to have a closer look to see if they are the clear framed glass magnifiers.

Okay, this is interesting. Especially what NorCalJim said, it's hard to tell the difference.
As far as I know now, there are three versions:
- Grey, glass lens, 8x magnification (1973-2004)
- Transparent, plastic (one piece?), 5x magnification (2004-2012)
- Transparent, glass lens, 6x magnification (2012-now)
As it turns out, I was just talking to my dad about getting a SwissChamp and he gave me his! :tu:
This does make things a little difficult though, I was planning to get a second hand SwissChamp and replace the scales with green plus scales (if available).
He has changed the red scales for a red and a black one. So I don't really want to change them as it took him years to get a SwissChamp and it really is his SwissChamp.

These are very special tools. I acquired my first Swiss Champ in December, the original model that replaced the Champion. I wanted the latest model of the Swiss Champ and ended up with two new Swiss Champs, one with red scales and one with black scales. Hope you enjoy yours!

You're absolutely correct Bill...I love these guys! Great pic today...those binoculars look awesome!
Too kind Barry, the binoculars are a pair I keep about for watching the wildlife in my garden. They're WW1 issue I believe with the old broad head arrow but the optics are still good enough to pick out the detail on the cock pheasants passing through in search of romance !

Trying to decide on which plus scales for this one.
Well that or just sending it to Robert for some Ti scales.
So if somome were to have it made in to a Syph style Ti but lose the corkscrew would it still be a Swisschamp?

I had recently watched this National Geographic Megafactories video about Victorinox on YouTube. Most of us are familiar with Victorinox's history and have seen videos on the manufacturing process. I especially like this one (it's over 40 minutes long) and since it has multiple Swiss Champ appearances in the video, I thought it would be an appropriate tribute for Swiss Champ Sunday.

Put my Swisschamp chisel to work today. It's not finished, but it should look like the one my son made with his soon (on the right). I don't know if there's a badge, but I'm strongly considering a 30 day challenge with this awesome knife!
That's pretty impressive. Hope to see the end result.

This photo had previously convinced me that I needed to get some emerald scales for one of my Swiss Champs. I spent some time last week planning some cosmetic changes for some of my Swiss Champs. I was originally planning to put some white scales on my original Swiss Champ (the first edition that replaced the Champion). My thought was that because the scales were not original that I might as well put a white replacement set on it. Eventually, I decided that a red replacement scale set would be more appropriate for the original SC model. The white set will be matched with a newer SC. I am also planning to replace to other SC scale sets with Sapphire and Emerald.
I had seen some photos of an assortment of SC SAKs in different colors and it planted the seed of wanting my own SC color assortment.

..... WOW!!!! How did I live without a work sharp all these years. For the size and price ( about $25 shipped) you can't go wrong. The guides won't work on all grinds (don't use them on Scandinavian grind like say a Mora or Tops BOB or Chisle grind like a Trekker) but for most knives on the market it definitely a go. The serations on my Soldier have never been sharper and then they are now.

:D Thanks Robert! That was the first hot beverage I had that day! That little Coleman stove only weighs a few ounces but heats like a champ!
Awesome!!!! I used to have a little stove I carried backpacking....worked on white gas...ate many a meal on the trail thanks to it. Can't remember the name right now but it went up with everything else in the fire.
I have an fold flat wood based stove now.

I'd love to see a pic of it! I still have our old 2 burner Coleman propane model given to me years ago to replace our white gas model. That baby made many a journey across the country!
:salute: I'll try and get it out next week and shoot a pic (it's in a pack)...the old back pack model is probably in the big hole we dug to push in what was left of the house.

I now have 6 Swiss Champs after a recent purchase of two with 8x magnifiers. Two need cleaning and one just a little sprucing up. I will be changing out scales on at least three and maybe four. Given my current commitments, that may get done sometime between now and May. The Swiss Champ in this group photo is sitting on a small table where I am sitting and is in easy reach...

I should have pulled the wrappings down to reveal the actual food, but I was too eager to take a pic and stuff them in my mouth. Still, I do think you can find those in America.
It's traditional Greek fast food (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souvlaki). Those in the pic are Greek wraps, round pitta bread, chicken chunks on a stick (which is removed for the wrap), tzatziki, tomato, onion, and fries, with fries on the side. :drool:

I am using one of the last Swiss Champ models with the grey framed magnifier (pliers have crimp). I updated the scales with Plus white scales and added a mini screw driver and straight pin. My photos will be delayed until I can figure out an alternative to Photobucket and their new premium upgrade to do what I have been doing for free. I have a Flickr account and hope that I can use it instead.
Meanwhile, I purchased a Sapphire scale Swiss Champ this morning for my ninth SC. Here is one of the seller's photos that I don't have to resize:

Haha, yeah, I guess it does depend :), thank you for the idea and caveats noted. The pouch does look good.
Black Sunday. And for the record it travels in a Swiss red Vic pouch. Can't be beaten.
As my champ is red, I was actually thinking of the red case!!
Been using it all week at work and it is awesome, found many uses, including just as a fidget spinner at times :D even found a use for the parcel hook. Have it on a suspension clip.

Thanks for all of the SC photos. I like the use of the hook to attach to a coffee cup. :)
It's the Camo SC for me today...

Good question Dan. I do like Vic belt sheaths. This one lives in a red leather Vic sheath with the Swiss cross button on the front. It's a bit showy but I'm fine with that at the weekend :whistle:

Post by: Barry Rowland on August 28, 2017, 01:48:42 AM
Bill, that's a Small Mouth Bass that he used a rooster tail to catch. My other son used his fly rod and a small black fly to get his fish with. He wound up getting 3 Perch and a Crappy himself. I was there in the support role :D

:cheers: Thanks Gene! My boys and I are all SAK guys. My youngest had his Field Master on him, but the Swisschamp pliers worked better for removing the hook.

I like both Wenger and Vic but most of the time prefer Vic. Until you compare the 58mm line vs the 65mm. When I discovered the PTC it quickly became my most used SAK. Don't get me wrong the 58mm line as well made as any other SAK it's just a less usefull tool set.I'm in today.

Outstanding turnout everybody!!
It's good to see such enthusiasm for the Swiss Champ! I look forward to Swiss Champ Sundays and enjoy seeing the variety of SCs.
My SAK weakness is the Explorer and the purchases got way out of hand (probably more than 20...I am thinking of getting a count before the month is over). Well, my SC admiration has also fanned the purchase flames and I have lost track of the SC number (think it's more than 10). It is really hard to resist these great SAKs!
Happy Swiss Champ Sunday!

Likewise! You and ThePeacent were up really early as the first posters. Before retirement, I used to be up every day between 3:30-4:00 a.m. but happily that is no longer the case. :)
Given the amount of SC enthusiasts, I am surprised to see only three photo posts. Well, there is plenty of Sunday left for more SC Sunday folks.

I've an older Grundig short wave set that I do the same thing with. I've been doing it since I was a boy and really enjoy it!
Yeah quite fun. I have a little Grundig portable as well that was my first set. Needed something with full 150-30000khz coverage + SSB and more sensitivity so I got the Sony last year. Shame Radio Australia isn't on anymore. That was my favorite to listen too.

Looks like it could use some cleaning up.
I'm always amazed how well the various SAKs I put through the spa treatment do clean up. I usually start with the liberal application of dishwashing liquid and soaking in very hot water for at least 2 hours before going over all crevices with a tooth brush and pipe cleaners. One some occasions where I had popped the scales, I added a run through the dishwasher. The simple spa treatment seems to work well for a spruce-up. I did leave out the hair dryer and lube portion. :)

Looks like fun, Barry! I'm having too much fun to neglect some of my favorites for the challenge. This week, I am planning to complete a restoration on an Executive and may start on another Executive depending on how much time opens up.

Just like dedicated tools...we have the tools we might need spread out near the job and grab the ones we need. In your case the SC was one of those tools.

Greetings "ThePeacent"!
I am assuming that your photos are of your everyday carry and am curious about the three tactical knives that seem somewhat redundant. Since many people work on minimizing EDC carry weight, the three tactical knives would seem to add weight for similar function.
Happy Swiss Champ Sunday!

For some people, maximizing carry is much more fun than minimizing weight. I´m one of them and so, I suspect, is The Peacent. It has been noticed that both TP and I are gardeners.

I did think of the fun factor. :)
All three of the dedicated knives (non-multi-tools) were biased toward cutting or sawing, which would make sense for gardening. The largest one would fit my idea of a tactical knife. I probably understood maximum carry fun best as a teenager. I had started collecting knives as a young teenager and used to strap a 3 tier ankle sheath for three throwing knives while also carrying a hunting knife in a belt sheath and if I was in one of the large fields near where I lived, I would also be carrying my bow and a quiver full of arrows. If it was cool enough for a jacket, I would probably have another 6 throwing knives at hand. :)
These days, I go for minimum carry with more close at hand (either at home or in the car). With so much emphasis on YouTube and elsewhere on minimizing weight, ThePeacent's EDC made me curious. :)
Happy Swiss Champ Sunday!

that's mostly from the Prepping Fad hipsters who spend all their time online talking about EDC instead of actually EDCing. Le Minimalism teehee ;) Most people just carry whatever they want, that's what makes the pics interesting. Something new everyday.

:like: I agree Kandi. Unless I'm on a challenge, I pretty much make up my mind in the morning as to what I'm going to pack. Oftentimes I'll grab either the Swisschamp or Craftsman and an Opinel and smile on my good fortune the rest of the day. Sometimes I wind up switching out. My son packs like Peacent almost daily. To each their own 😃
I know I'm in Swisschamp country but I always enjoy reading. I've been digging the 3 prong approach lately, a 93mm + either 91,84, or 74mm, + 58mm

If you don't yet have a Swiss Champ, you should consider getting one. Just think of the fun you can have each Swiss Champ Sunday! It's also very useful.

Here is my revised Champ. A very long time ago one of the scales plus the under laying liner were badly damaged, so a few month ago I sent my 1987 Champ (2nd model) for a revision to Victorinox. Last week I it finally returned to me, after paying € 21,50 for P&H.
Victorinox had the liner repaired, the scales replaced by modern scales (with pinhole!), put in the pin, the new type mini-screwdriver (luckily I saved the original one), new T&T, new pen, and they replaced the old type pliers with the new pliers type!
So now I have a 1987 Swiss Champ with 2017 details. Should I be happy or not?? I don't know...

A very early Swiss Champ Sunday to you!
Considering that the underlying liner was damaged, I would think you would be ecstatic to have a reconditioned and current Swiss Champ. I have the original model of Swiss Champ that replaced the Champion. I am happy to have it but I have a much higher regard and pride of ownership towards my other Swiss Champs with grey-framed magnifier and thick pliers with wire crimper. If you really want to have an older model like the one you had, they are out there!
Of all the Swiss Champs, I have the highest regard for the Super Timer. My most treasured Swiss Champ is a mint NOS Super Timer.
I think your story had a very happy ending.

They are available online. I like it because it is a clip-on that I can easily put on and off my belt. Also snap closure instead of Velcro. It has elastic sides. They come in various sizes. The one pictures is the large size, and it fits the Swisschamp perfectly. Cost around $9

Fluted corkscrew, thin pliers with no crimper, scissor screw and no hook so by all accounts one of the earlier ones, really happy with it although its smaller than i imagined, i got it into my head they were big unwieldy beasts but not so, in reality its not much bigger than my normal edc Explorer, will add it to the rotation and see how i get on with it.
The scales are new, i put them on along with new pen, t and t, i kept the original scales though for purist reasons, in case i ever want it back to original :tu:
So, for the first time ever..Happy Swisschamp Sunday everyone :cheers:

Well it has to happen to us all at some point i guess, 30 years late to the party but i just got my first Champ so this will be my first ever Swisschamp Sunday :salute:That's a very nice champ :like: :like:
Fluted corkscrew, thin pliers with no crimper, scissor screw and no hook so by all accounts one of the earlier ones, really happy with it although its smaller than i imagined, i got it into my head they were big unwieldy beasts but not so, in reality its not much bigger than my normal edc Explorer, will add it to the rotation and see how i get on with it.
The scales are new, i put them on along with new pen, t and t, i kept the original scales though for purist reasons, in case i ever want it back to original :tu:
So, for the first time ever..Happy Swisschamp Sunday everyone :cheers:

Nice apple Ron.
Now I'm not normally one for putting the cat amongst the pigeons. Seriously. But what would the Panel think if, when the Pioneer X Challenge is over, I posted my EvoGrip54 as a guest here ... just like this ?
Will there be Letters to The Editor etc etc ? I do hope so ....

First start in months, with a new carb and after sorting out the timing which was 180 degrees out. other than that. good result!
Bear in mind it's road legal and is running around 200bhp at the rear wheel, before it was made road legal it would run a 1/4 at around 8.6. She's pretty highly strung lol (a lot like my ex)

Actually, the scales are unique with the exception of three red scale Swiss Champs (the 4th red one is actually a Champion). I have the original model that replaced the Champion and that needs to remain original. Of the other two, one is new/unused and the other is used/excellent condition. I will keep the new one in a box and use the remaining red scale model when the occasion arises. The rest of my SCs have a variety of scales, specifically Cobalt blue, black, hardwood, emerald, saphire, white and camo. I had planned to remove the "Daily driver" red scale and replace with Ruby scales but might just get another SC and put Ruby scales on it.

I finally got around to taking a Swiss Champ "Family" photo. I remember a post some time ago after I had acquired my 8th Swiss Champ. The number 12 was in the back of my mind and now I realize that I was counting a SuperTimer that is no longer mine and a Champion (replaced by the Swiss Champ in the mid 1980s). You can see the Champion pictured behind the row of Swiss Champs. I have also included a photo of my former SuperTimer, which is a premium Swiss Champ with a Clock scale...I like that Swiss Champ with the Clock scale. Nice collection.

This is the first red Swisschamp that I've ever owned.As can be seen it came with this SOS kit and is new.Nice photo. This is the set up, with the SOS kit I have been looking at to put it my bike pack.

Very nice toolguy :like: :tu:
Thanks W.
There's always a story about every purchase.This one is no different.
My brother came to our house for dinner and he brought a package with him.As you may have guessed this Champ and the SOS kit was in that package.When he asked if I wanted to buy it,I responded with "I have three already".His response was "Not like this one".So,the inevitable search though my storage units began to show him that I had that model.To make a long story short and much to my surprise,I didn't have that model.Well, I bought it from him,for a price that was a little more than the SOS kits currently being sold without knives.I'm now the proud owner of my fourth SOS kit.
Now my wife wonders even less,why I have so many knives.It's because of all of the facilitators in my life,such as my brother.LOL

Thanks RR.
You should go for it.I have substituted and or added items to my kits.For instance I have added a AAA mini-maglight to some.I've also added a fire steel to two.I've even created an SOS kit with a Workchamp,which I don't count in my factory SOS collection.

My brothers wife, always looks me up and down, what’s to know if I’m bringing anything into the house! Then says he doesn’t need any new hobbies! She didn’t mind the Omega watche, but has definitely drew the line after the comic books. I can’t help it that I like to share my interests. :whistle:

What astounded me was my brother's recollection on my SOS kits.He's uncanny and has an almost photographic memory.I hate that.LOL
He also fooled with my mind.When upon discovering I didn't own that model,he said the seller was asking $135.00.He opened his ebay account on his I phone which showed the kit at an auction price of $135.00.My response was "That's too much." He admitted at that point that he low-balled the seller and never expected he would accept.When my brother logged on again he found the seller had sent him an invoice.LOL
When he told me the actual price he paid, I couldn't give him my money fast enough.LOL

Thanks all. I think the Emerald scales are my favorite with the Sapphire ones next. I also have a set of Emerald's on one of my Explorer's and a Sapphire set on a Spartan.
Sunday was hectic and I didn't post in one of my favorite threads...so, a belated SwissChamp Sunday!
Emerald and Sapphire are truly fine colors...

Can any member name something different compared to current production? I'll name the most obvious to get that out the way.They have the older gray magnifying lens and the thinner pliers.Since you can't view the back side,I will state they both have the twisted cork screw.
Now that I've pointed out these differences,what else may be different from current production?

They both have the old-style, thicker tang on the large blade, at least. And, since you didn't say it explicitly, they have the older, longer inline Philips. I'm probably missing something obvious. :dunno:
The longer philips went away when they installed the longer magnifying lens.
Yes the tang is different as well.
But there is one more obvious difference.

Keyring on opposite side?
Is this a question or an answer?
Ha,ha yes you are correct.
Good observations everyone.

Both a distinct part of my childhood. The adventures too easily missed could be had at night with a torch under the covers, holding a Verne book in one hand, and a favourite pocket knife in the other. I still have a hard time convincing my wife that the pocket knife is essential...

To be honest the red scales are simply so iconic and if you're going to have them on any SAK it probably should be the SwissChamp. I must admit I do have a red SC which hasn't seen much carry time since I got the black one. Which reminds me I have been out on the bike and SAKless until now .. so I'll dig out the red one and join you. :cheers:

Is that Micarta handle material? Like the rocketman! :tu:
if you're asking about the folder in my pic,
the claw styled one is textured G10, aggressively patterned
the Buck 110 is also G10, much smoother though :salute:

Might be too early to really assess, I'll know more after the 30-day challenge. Some knifes I can just pick up and instinctively know that I'll enjoy using them. This isn't one of those.....
I'm fascinated by awl the tools. As a right hander, I find the grip a bit wide when using the knife blade. But I may get used to that over time.
I'm fighting the urge to slip a Jack knife in my other pocket........ :rofl:

Scored a SwissChamp on SwissChamp Sunday, by accident. $27 shipped off eBay (Could have gotten it a few bucks cheaper had the seller offered options other than a flat rate box). 1990s vintage. And the old gray mag, my favorite one. That thing can really bring tiny things up close.Nice :like:

What are you planning on doing to it :think:
You mean 'them'? ;)
I normally try to economize on the donor count...but this build will totally ignore that. Two different Champs of different eras are needed. Plus at least two more kinves, maybe three depending on the blades included. Maybe also a Compact if I think it's getting too wide. That would be a total of six donors. :facepalm:
And this might just be a prototype for testing. The plan is still a bit nebulous :whistle:
I'm always happy when the drilling finishes concentric with the pin. Not always easy when working with a cordless hand held drill...and aging eyes!

Luckily only 2 more days left of the Surge challenge
And I can finally use all my tools again :woohoo:
Well for one month anyway :think:

Happy SCS, folks. I came to a realization today. There are "better" multitools out there, objectively speaking, as far as sturdiness, utility, etc. But the Swiss Champ is the Cadillac DeVille of multi-tools. A drop-top V8, probably. With that in mind, instead of using the plain ol steel s-biner to hook my 'champ to my belt, I decided to embrace its baroque ostentatiousness and got a cheesy bright blue anodized aluminum one. Today is one of the rare days where I just have too much going on in my pockets (rental car keys) for my usual EDC, a Pioneer/Classic duo, and I'm carrying the champ instead of it being the backpack knife. The s-biner givez it just enough length to dangle in the pocket from my web belt.

Dang...I thought the firebiner was just a cool-looking titanium 'biner. Fire-starting tool, too?! Welp...💸Nope. ‘biner, fire starter, live cutter, flat screwdriver, and the ever present bottle opener.

I remembered before it got dark, so no glow today. The 'champ, fresh from an appointment with a toothbrush and some Simple Green (those nylon scales pick up crud fast), with rangefinder deployed. Happy SCS!Nice stayglow on your SwissChamp! :tu:

Went to open a can of corned beef, which happens to be square (not round) and somehow the can was missing the included key to open it. Can openers won't work because of the sharp angles of the square container.Very good usage! :like: :tu:

So out of the cart the champ comes.
For many years I carried and used my much loved Vic motorist which was superseded by my cs4,which I have carried for around 7years now.
What to do?

I think this one might have been a display model. Has a good bit of scale rash for appearing to be NIB and the tools are flawless. I believe this one would be a mid to late 80's. Only bad thing about anything shiny and black is it shows off every little scratch.Very nice :tu:

My first ever Swiss Champ Sunday. I honestly got this to satisfy my curiosity and collector’s itch (if anyone knows of a cream to treat this let me know). However, I have to say that I love it. Here’s to many more SCS to come.Best remedy I found was to liberally coat yourself with SwissChamps. Fortunately they’re larger than most other SAKs, so you don’t need so many. :pok:

Just to report that while preparing for our first post Covid19 trip, I happened to find my first SwissChamp which I'd lost years ago (at least 8-10).
I spontaneously decided this was fate pure and simple and that I'd take it along for the trip.

I bought a new Swisschamp last year (my first one) and it has the blue translucent scales. My latest purchase was a used Swisschamp with the standard red scales. I'm more excited for it to be delivered today than I probably should be, but this one is going into my 72 hour kit once I get it all cleaned up and sharpened.
Am I allowed to admit that my 72-hour kit doesn't contain a SAK (because there's always one in my pocketses)

I hear ya. My plan is to have a Swisschamp and Soldier in my 72 hour kit and then anything I may happen to have on me at the moment of emergency will be a plus.
Post by: TonySal on July 02, 2020, 01:55:53 AM
Good for you Tony! I typically don't need the whole toolbox either, but I love it's personality. I missed Swisschamp Sunday, but have mine with me today....and actually in a 72 type emergency, I'd be grabbing it on the way out!

My kit has a Gerber, and a SAK is always in my pocket.
I always envision having the SwissChamp in a kit that I haven't actually made (yet) an extended adventure kit - backpacking all the way through a continent, or something like that. It's a permanent item on my bucket list. Never checked off.

I would love to try but about a half pound I don't need usually... :think:
6.5 oz., actually. Less than an iPhone 11. :cheers:
I've been carrying one for several days, and I don't even know its in my pocket. The brain can accommodate just about anything if you get it a chance. It gets tired of thinking about that new weight in your pocket, and soon moves on to something else. But I get that its not for everyone.

I've been rocking the Swiss Champ in SilverTech for several days now, and its my current favorite SAK. I carry with it a MiniChamp for the pen, micro phillips, etc. The other flavors of Swiss Champ have a pen. [Victorinox shows "Swiss Champ" as two words, and "MiniChamp" as one word. ???]

Non-conforming scales.
Post by: Frailer on August 09, 2020, 06:26:32 PM
I know the 2016 gold Climber had nickel silver liners instead of aluminum; do the Silvertech knives share this feature? If so, it could sway my opinion.
Post by: ElevenBlade on August 09, 2020, 08:30:37 PM
Yeah, definitely. One could always have SilverTech on one side, and a Plus scale on the other. Most colors would contrast pretty well with the silver.

Non-conforming scales.
Yes! One could do that... Couldn't one? That's a good idea... Especially your high visibility scale options. :like:

A potato grade pic of my Champ. Notice anything missing? I got rid of the fish scaler and swapped the chisel for the precision screw driver on the backspring of the saw.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210118/50fc5e8bce97a3f502eca361e46547a0.jpg)Very cool.

I'm about 3 hours East of the Burgh 39, and it's just getting started here. It's good to be back Tony! I actually feel like I'm downsizing after carrying the Workchamp for a couple of weeks. Have to ease my way back to a Spartan :rofl:
Here's no snow. It melted away.
Time for downsizing after the 111s. The Swisschamp is a classy tool.

Roulette anyone? I found a deal on the black, but at the time I was of the notion that only red was the correct color, so I eventually bought the red.Same as me, soon to be Sir Fireman. Black looked cool but "supposed" to be red lol.

I got a black Compact and a red Swisschamp. After staring at them for three years, the colors looked backwards. So I switched the scales. Then after staring at those for several months I decided the colors were backwards. I haven't switched them back yet.... It's one of those things... If you stare at your hands long enough they look backwards too.
Edit:. After posting this I realized I had originally gotten a red Compact and a black Swisschamp... :facepalm:

I used the pliers on mine, in combination with the Work Champ pliers, to take off battery clamps on my garden tractor. Tony, I was surprised by how well they did. I used one to loosen and turn the nut, and the other to hold the head of the bolt.
I love the SAK pliers... the teeth are aggressive and sharp, while the grip makes them easy to use. :cheers:

I'm checking in today as well. Swisschamp has been my regular carry these last few months, it's a non threatening tool to carry, especially with my dozens of hospital and clinic visits these last few months. Long story short, getting a tumor removed and then after that's done I have to get a second round of back surgery on L3, L4 and L5. Needless to say I haven't been on a good mood for a while, but seeing the posts here keep me in decent spirits.
Aw...that's rough, LW. Praying for you just now. Feel better!
Regarding SwissChamps, I need to get another one! I want to get one in rough condition I can keep and carry without feeling like I need to sell it.

I thought is was the coolest piece of kit since sliced bread.LOL I also couldn't believe that Vic made a black scaled knife because I had never seen one up until then.
I have the original purchase receipt,I paid $89.95.That was a princely sum at that time,12/04/1989.

Functional is the keyword for me Jim. I've had some collector pieces over the past few years, but I've pretty much moved them on. I like to use mine!very cool Barry, if I'm not carrying a Little one, I may try the black or the Hoff with the pliers! Both are grey mag and fluted CS, no hole for straight pin.....need a P7 clip....

(This model the big sister to a similar styled Huntsman model I bought a month or so back https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,21658.msg2211238.html#msg2211238 (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,21658.msg2211238.html#msg2211238)).
Made for a French supplier in "Vichy" style. Only 50 made apparently so I "had" to get one.
Splashed out on a custom made leather pouch to go with it which I'm also really pleased with.

Another Sunday another day of Swisschamp carry. It's been the only tool I've been carrying for the last few months and during my surgery recovery and I've had zero problems with needing another tool. In fact last week I used the pliers to pull staples out of a billing statement and the pen to fill out a return address on an envelope while at the post office.

I'll confess, once again, that I was a bit of a Swiss Champ skeptic. It seemed a bit too big and bulky to be practical. I thought that the Swiss Champ was a bit of a gimmick.
However, because some members here seemed to swear by them, I picked one up to use in a 30-day challenge. That 30-day challenge really changed my mind and I, too, succumbed to the Champ's charms.
I encourage you to do a 30-day Swiss Champ challenge and see for yourself. (I think we were thinking about doing one in November.) :cheers:

Pro Tip: clean scaler after use. Especially if you are going to use it to retrieve pickles or olives from their briny jars. Nothing wrong with a "Dirty Martini", but you want it to be the right sort of dirt..... ;)

I'm carrying this one today while considering the Go BIG challenge. It might be nice to not carry a SAK in my pocket for a while, and these S-shields are so much less bulky than the Victorinox pouch options.

My favorite SAKs are from the 90s era. Victorinox was at the height of their game, IMO. I'm not much of a fan of sheaths with Velcro, so the Skinth is the way to go for me.
The scales on this one are a bit beat up and the knife is like new otherwise but I can't bring myself to replace the scales because I like the German cigarette ad. It lends some character.

Nice pouch. Which model is it? I found the S Shield on Skinth's site, but they say it fits a 3-7 layer SAK. Does your Swiss Champ fit in OK?
Also, does the back have a belt loop or a clip?
Thanks!
Post by: NutSAK on June 20, 2021, 10:05:13 PM
The S-Shield comparison pics below show a CT34 setup with Peak Eiger flashlight and the Swiss Champ. In the pics, the SAKs are pulled out slightly to hold the closure flap open. Also note how much slimmer the Skinth package is than the Victorinox large sheath.

It's the S-Shield with a stainless clip that is very secure when clipped around the belt and waistband. It will fit a 6-7 layer SAK with room for a AAA flashlight in a side pocket. With the Swiss Champ in there it would only have room in the side pocket for maybe a prybar, but the Champ by itself is not a tight fit at all on its own.I like it!
The S-Shield comparison pics below show comparisons between a CT34 setup with Peak Eiger flashlight and the Swiss Champ. In the pics, the SAKs are pulled out slightly to hold the closure flap open for the pics. Also note how much slimmer the Skinth package is than the Victorinox large sheath.

I've been meaning to post this pic for a while now. Just waiting for time and a sunny day.
The black one was my first. I got the red one as a spare. The green one I bought to break up for parts for mods, but it cleaned up so nicely that I decided to keep it and replaced the original red scales with the emerald ones.
Now I'll need to get a fourth to use for parts.

:woohoo:Are those early pliers narrower than the later ones? They look like it in your photo. At least compared with mine, like in my photo a couple of posts earlier.

Yes they are! :tu: These thin pliers only show up in Champs, Craftsman, Handyman, and Rütli models of the era AFAIK. They are easily identified by the joint area which is continuous or ‘smooth’ appearing when closed.

Found a Champ that allows me to split up ‘86 production further. It’s between the liner protocol change and the last scissor backspring update, pre-hook.

I paid 64 euros for mine (new) so I'd say it's a nice deal, considering its like 95 on vic website I think !

It certainly isn't a Little Sak!Compared to other 91mm or smaller SAKs, no it's not a little SAK. But considering how small it is for what it can do, that's pretty impressive.
:salute:
I keep thinking about switching down to a SAK with fewer layers, but then I think about what I'd have to carry in addition to make up for the tools I'd be giving up if I didn't have a Champ in my pocket. The closest I've come is my Deluxe Explorer mod (Explorer + pliers). Would probably work for winter, but I'd want to have a wood saw again when Spring and yard work return.
Post by: Barry Rowland on January 11, 2022, 03:37:50 AM
In some ways it seems large, but for the bang for the buck toolset wise, it's not really that large . Compared to a lot of pocket tools, it's manageable.

Found one of earlier and perhaps earliest versions of the Swisschamp. Could be late ‘85 or early ‘86…and interestingly has two major differences. So I might have to go on a squirrel hunt to find one that is potentially in between. One difference is a part update (later), and the other a (rare) construction protocol difference…which might be a production error.Looks like my '83 Champion, but with pliers. Has the same full liner between the scissors and scaler, and the key ring on the corkscrew side.
Post by: kamakiri on February 08, 2022, 05:34:35 AM
Very nice find Kamakiri! I'm interested learning more!:cheers: Thanks, Barry! Always better to find the oddball knives when they’re in good shape.
And there’s always something new to learn. It’s crazy!

:tu:
And not all of the early Champs have that full liner. You hit the nail on the head with your comments SteveP! One thing this particular Champ is missing is any other 1mm liner(s)that usually go with Pliers! So either this knife predates the 1mm pliers/scissor liner…or it’s a production assembly protocol error…or? :dunno:

I was going to take it apart for the pliers but it’s just such a beauty I couldn’t do it.
I’ve had that problem before…maybe more than once. :whistle:
Looks more on the ‘86 side, though. Taper of the awl and in guessing the brass collar under the Phillips. Double ‘full’ liners, etc.,

I used it many times for that. Most bottles have cork here and, when I was young, I insisted on using my SC even when other corkscrews were available. Now I mostly use the big thing with arms, that's much bigger than the Swisschamp XLT....I know, need the big thing with the 2 arms...

Happy SC Sunday everyone!
For SC Sunday, a Champ family picture.
The yellow one is my newest. Bought it online two SC Sundays ago and it arrived early last week. It needed a deep cleaning and I replaced the original red scales with new yellow Plus ones.
Ifi were you, I'd buy a white and blue one to complete the Elemental Circle.
5 Swiss champs to rule them all !

Since I got it at Christmas, I can’t get this out of my pocket. So useful. I just put the emerald scales on it. Cross your eyes for 3D…Hey, Jazz...

Hey, Jazz...
How did you make the 3D photos?
I used an app that I can place 2 photos side by side in. Any app that does this will do. I took 2 pics an eye width apart and put them in the app's spaces. You might have to cross your eyes to test (might have them in the wrong positions). Real easy, and looks cool to me.

Love the mighty Champ! That's a great picture Steve :tu:Thank you, Barry!
Though I like the Explorer, I have to admit I missed the potential usefulness of the Champ during the last challenge. It's a little large to pocket in a pair of shorts in the summer, but it works great in a slim Vic cordura belt pouch under a baggy summer shirt.
And just knowing I've got all that capability in such a small package. Yesterday I whipped out the Champ and used the metal file to file clean ends onto the sensor tips of a water leak alarm. No running to the toolbox to get a file. :D
And something about those yellow scales is really cheery.

Hi Everyone - longtime lurker, first time poster. I had the Swisschamp on me today for some work in the garden and realized it’s Swisschamp Sunday! I have never used it in the garden, but thought why not just pull it out of my pocket to clear out weeds and prune some dying tomato plants. The fish scaler hook works great to help dig up small roots that otherwise break off. I was surprised at how well the magnifying glass worked to get a closer look at something akin to clover mites (not clover mites, but still need to identify). And happy to have those pliers to remove a nasty splinter from an old planter.It’s great one for the garden.
Excellent use of the Scaler :tu:

Weight is around the same as a can of SPAM as well.
The SwissChamp XXL weighs in at 353 grams, regular SwissChamp is 185 grams.

How does it feel in the hand? I love the bigger SAKs.
For me realistically the XXL and XAVT are collector pieces and were bought as such and will not actually get any use.
They live quite happily in their little homes (boxes)
If you were to use them I think you would need a belt pouch as they are too heavy, about the weight of a can of SPAM in your pocket.
As for in the hand feel they are lovely and really would be quite useable, I don't see the XXL or XAVT as being an awkward tool to use, it would depend on your hand size and personal preferences though. 58mm SAK's for example feel way to small in the hands for me, I find a smaller tool like this much more awkward and clumsy to use than a larger or oversize SAK.

You can tell that this is an older feller from his small, gray tusk. Younger specimens have a somewhat larger, clear tusk.

I was up on the roof, cleaning out the gutters, when I noticed several small branches from the maple tree in front of the house that were overhanging and nearly touching the roof.
I didn't feel like climbing back down to get some loppers, so out came the saw on the Champ. Made quick work of cutting them off.
Sorry, no action shot of me standing on the sloping roof cutting branches with my SAK.

Had to take a picture of the SC final use for the night. Apparently we have kid size 8oz cups that are 2mm in diameter smaller than the sink drain…

It's finally Stormy Kromer weather here in Western Montana. Open burn opened up here today, too, so we burned off all of the sticks and limbs that have accumulated over the summer. Roasted some marshmallows with the kids once we had some good coals. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231001/34017c7b3776a97396d0defaf297be86.jpg)

(On the other hand with the Delemonts I find myself stopping at the 5-layer S557. There are a couple bigger ones but the added tools don't seem worth it to me, particularly since I have a SwissChamp.)

My work on the full-scale model has been put on hold for now. I am currently mulling over the idea of a homemade Minichamp. It will utilize three different 58mm models and probably use glue instead of the pesky rubber bands. Hopefully it will be perfected in time for the November Minichamp challenge that I foolishly signed up for. Best wishes. G

Roasted some marshmallows with the kids once we had some good coals.How can you roast marshmallows with coals? The proper way to roast a marshmallow is to place it in a flame, let it catch fire, blow out the fire on the marshmallow, and then eat it.

Luckily my kids don't discriminate when it comes to marshmallows. They will eat them "raw" and burnt to a crisp and everything in between. My wife on the other hand, thinks she is a marshmallow connoisseur and has to have them the perfect shade of golden brown only achieved with a bed of hot coals.

I had this Clip now a few weeks on, and im quite happy whit it, its stick quite secure to my leg pocket of my Pants, and the only tool that gets harder to pull is the Tweezers, they need the small Glasses Screwdriver to swirls out of the Korkscrew but thanks to the fact, its a Swisschamp, you can get the Packet Hook quite easy out ..
Sure Swisschamp whit Clip might sound strange, but i have clipped it on the side of the Pocket, not on front..

I have 2, one of which is always in my car. When I travel I take the Swisschamp. It's legal everywhere a knife is, and there's no end to what you can do with it. Like the old saying goes: if you can't fix it with a Swisschamp, you can make the tool to fix it with a Swisschamp!:like:

For years I resisted the SwissChamp. They were too heavy, too thick, they were more of a show piece than a working knife, etc. Then I got one and discovered that they are a Rosetta Stone for the 91mm SAKs. Nearly every other model is a subset of this one. With this you get a view of the entire line. A marvelous knife for a shoulder bag or belt pouch and even occasionally in a pocket.
that's funny about the subset thing because I've always thought of the SwissChamp as just an Explorer but with more tools.
The Explorer Grande! :rofl:

One of the fellas had a nice reconditioned Champion for sale in the Trade section. Unfortunately he wanted to sell about a dozen knives along with it. And upteen scales also. Some day I will come into one. A nice used one would be just fine. Until then I will have to use my simulated SwissChamp. The one I made.
Enjoy the snow (and the rain in NY). It is warm and dry as a bone here. Water restrictions in town actually. I think I could walk across the Cullasaja River now without getting my knees wet. You can see the old Cherokee fishing weirs when the water gets low enough. Best wishes. Gary

I'm not ready for this nonsense. We were only supposed to get 2-3 inches from Tuesday-Wednesday evening, but it started Tuesday night and snowed steady until Friday afternoon. We ended up with about 6 inches total. Yesterday morning was 2°F and this morning, when we left for church, it was 11°F which is typical January/February weather. Thankfully, we are supposed to back into the 40s this week so the kids won't freeze when we go trick or treating.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231029/c070ad87b8ee7ef114a6be8fb06c5a19.jpg)

Nice snow photo. You need to get your knife out of it however. That moisture is bad for it. Very careless. I still don't have a Champion so I can only join in full of hope and with empty pocket.

Dry as powder here. Woods have quite a fuel load. People still burn leaves. Yeow! It was almost 80F today. Lots of turkeys piddling around. If I find someone with a Champion, then I might pull the string on one, Barry. I have been enjoying the Spirit challenge posts. Doing a good job there. Still sick folks. One member with all the kids sick. I feel for the parents sitting up with sick kids. Lots of nice photos. Best wishes. G

Nobody has made a post on the SwissChamp Sunday for a while. I told MTSAK a long time ago that I would satisfy his curiosity about my homemade SwissChamp and post a photo. Well this time is as good as any I suppose to unveil it. Possibly talk about the build and its difficulties. Here it is. I used it just this morning to cut up some boxes for recycle. Getting to all the blades is a little time consuming, but what's a little time? Right? It is even adjustable for the number of layers. Clever, huh? Best wishes and happy holidays to all. Gary (IMR)

Looks about as good as any Champ I've ever seen! I'm betting the rubber band adds some extra grip as well! I've been meaning to add a picture or two each week but lately my Champ has been riding in my bag and we've been sick and laying around doing minimal things before Christmas

Using the SwissChamp for one of its intended purposes involving a splinter on Sunday. I’ll have to be more careful.Another oldie with grey magnifier :cheers:

Thanks, Magicbus. I recall buying it in 1997 or 1998. It was my first SAK

Using the Swisschamp to do some plastic flash removal. I am enjoying working with my grand-daughter on her model engine STEM kit. A bit more knife than required, but, it works well and allows her to see the various tools available. She used the philips screwdriver to install some of the screws holding the engine together, but, prefers the Facom precision screwdriver in the background.Grand kids are amazing :tu:

:hatsoff: Thanks gents! I like the Swisschamp. As crazy as it might sound, I know the toolset with my eyes closed. As I'm fond of saying, if you can't fix it with a Swisschamp, you can build the tool to fix it with one :D
I agree! So versatile...although I just took delivery of a Work Champ - and I have to say that is one nice tool too!

You're welcome here anytime! I have an XLT in my bucket list of Vics to get. I love the big SAKs. I know there's some belt hanger users here who like carrying the Champs in their pockets. I use a sheath for my regular Swisschamps.
Thanks a bunch! That's also how I carry my SC daily (albeit in an old iPod sock) hanging from a belt hanger. I posted some photos of it in another thread; I can't date it for the life of me because it has no crimpers on the pliers yet the cap lifter has the half-stop. So I figure it's from somewhere in the mid 90s (it was my uncle's before me). It's my first and absolute favourite SAK I own.

It reminds me of my second Swisschamp, which I dated to 1992ish because of the hook, pliers, etc. I love the older SAKs.
Thank you for that! Do you know by any chance, if these scales are the solid ones? Also, it seems like this one weighs ~190g whereas the others I have are ~186 (if that helps).
