I have to admit I have had several MiniChamps go through the wash at various times...I usually have one in the watch pocket of my jeans and I will forget to check the pocket before washing the jeans.....but, like you say they come out nice and clean. :cheers:

I like the idea of a MiniChamp Monday! It also makes sense that it would follow Swiss Champ Sunday!
I am quite a fan of the MiniChamp and have 5 of them (1 is the original and the rest are the MiniChamp II). My green scale MiniChamp II is attached to my car key-chain and a red scale MiniChamp II is attached to the key-chain for my wife's car. I have an Alox MiniChamp II and a second red scale MiniChamp II plus the original MiniChamp.
Here is a MiniChamp ready to attach to a key-chain:

I should say that I used to EDC a flashlight up until about 10 years ago. Now I bring a flashlight when I think I'll need one - camping, and vacation mainly.
I should also say that I am occasionally guilty of using my phone as a flashlight in a pinch.
That said - I wonder if the light has a fun factor to it, or if it would just bother me.
Thoughts?

I have a Midnight Manager. The light is good for very limited tasks, like finding a key. It's fun to have, but I'd rather have the pen.
Take a pen scale off another one? I turned my minichamp into a midnite minichamp with a pen

I have an older and newer midnight MiniChamp. Both have new batteries in them for testing. The newer one has a MUCH brighter white light.
If you get one be sure you get a newer one, to me it's worth it.
Post by: FolderBeholder on March 19, 2020, 07:39:32 PM
Does the new one have a pen as well, or just the light?It has the pen as well.

My all-time favorite tool on any SAK! Lisa, post some pics of your cool Minichamps when you get a chance 😊Sure thing!
I think many of these are MCs.

MiniChamp held up by Mini Figures.Are those really purple scales with a light? Or is it just a trick of the light?

If it's really purple I'm in love and I found a new goal lol.

Not sure if I'm really to give up the PTC for the MC yet.
:dunno:. The MC is a wonderful SAK. Yes there are tools that make this 58mm a chubby little SAK but one thing I miss from the MC is the pen on my PTC. I also really like the picker/cutter tool.

I'm definitely finding the MC very useful but I really do use the awl and jewelers sd on the PTC and would miss them.
Your right about that cut and picker blade. If I could I would add a cut and picker and the safety blade to the PTC. That would be the perfect SAK. The pen I could take or leave.

I replaced the scales on mine with a pair from a Classic, to have both tweezers and toothpick. So I lost the pen.

Cabbage. Should’ve paid more attention though. I started to slice and to start with found the blade rather poor with the thicker bits. So I changed blade.

When I was a lad of about 14, this design "choice" did a number on the thumb of a kid on my school bus. Not only did he open the knife instead of the file... when he went to close it, he somehow forgot... :think:... which way the blade folded to close. :ns:

Sneaking in at the end of Monday.
In case anyone is wondering from my photo above why I'd have a tiny lanyard on a 58mm, I call it my "two-finger lanyard". I can get two fingers through it securely and still use the tools.
Inspired by using the micro-light to look behind my clothes dryer while stretched over the top of it. I really didn't want to drop my MiniChamp behind the dryer and have to drag the thing out to retrieve it. :(

I generally do a small lanyard on mine too. Fellow on an EDC group asked about lanyards and I told him that the knife dictates what kind of lanyard is appropriate.

Return of the prodigal! My wife was going through some of her stuff and found my old Skinny MiniChamp (top in photo). :woohoo: When I bought it, I thought it was thick for such a small knife, but the newer model is, well, let's just say that the scales do make it look fat.Depending on how long it's been lost, it might be like getting a new SAK. ;)

Use to not be a fan of the Manix till I got one. That LW 110 is a sweet knife. Only downside imo is how much of the pocket it takes up but love the lock and being able to flip it closed.

The Alox Solo is my food safe knife. I’ve used the Pioneer and Pioneer X a few times prepping some food, but it does get non food use so sanitizing can be a bit of a job. The Solo only touches food. The MC does get varied use, but it’s pretty easy to clean with such little surface. The wharncliffe blade is my favorite for small fruits.
Today I cut up a few bananas and celery for the kiddo.

Around here (Raleigh, NC), you could not really tell an eclipse was happening unless you had viewing glasses or created a pinhole projection. It became dimmer, but nothing like the 2017 eclipse where my area was just outside the band of totality. On that day, the sky became a deep, dark blue and everything was eerily lit.

I love mine! I have one of each, a cellidor and an Alox. This is my true EDC.
That Alex is sweet Barry but I just have to have T&T (or Tw as a minimum)
