Alox and cellidor. One scale of the red one, on the pen side, broke, so I redressed it green, off a Classic, tweezers and toothpick only. It´s a very tiny little bit thinner now.

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:

The Chimp thing is entirely made-up and based on a typo. Made me smile though :cheers:

My minichamp came in today. And find an interesting problem??? This is going to be fun.

I could just float it not extended and use the Victorinox symbol as the north and that would work.

I've changed the scales on it so that I have a white LED instead of the "LW" scales. This is a mod done by a guy who makes 'em on eBay.

It's a phone pic in natural daylight but out of direct sunlight. I quite like the slate as an interesting background which has some iron pyrites inclusions.

Does anyone have the midnight minichamp? Is the light worth it?
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 like that! You could even make a Midnight Classic with a pen... :dd:

Does anyone have the midnight minichamp? Is the light worth it?
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.

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.

Well, I deviated from the Swisstool Challenge to use the ball point pen on my Minichamp to cross out items on the supply list my wife gave me today.

: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.
-
Both great SAKs. I am carrying my MC now. I love to have my PTC when I got out oddly as I really like the pen. The size is what does it for me. I am loving Wenger scissors more and more too.

Small but capable.
Was my first SAK after almost 20 years. It started the addiction...

I EDC a Minichamp, so every day is MiniChamp Monday at the Powernoodle Compound.

I switch between mine and a couple of Classics, with an Executive thrown in for variety sake.

Yeah, its fun to mix it up. I'll stick with the MiniChamp for a while, then carry a Manager, then a Classic SD and so on. But always in conjunction with an Explorer or similar.

Guess I may be in the minority, here, but I dislike the pen. I usually just swap the scales and have the tweezers and toothpick.
Still, I'm on the hunt for a decent Alox MC.

My favorite scales. :dd:

Late again. I'm used to being in Challenges :facepalm:

I just sold my minichamp on eBay. :D Time to buy another one....

:ahhh :woohoo: :ahhh

I think we might need to do a to 58mm challenge. :whistle:
-
There's a badge for the Minichamp and PTC if I remember correctly.
-
Is there Barry? As long as we can turn up late for it we'll be ok :rofl: And no I'm not carrying mine today. Must remember for Monday
-
Maybe we can plan a 58mm challenge well in advance... The more the merrier.
-
Good point Phil! I forget to grab mine on Mondays, so I might have to stack up 'Champs tomorrow so I'm ready :rofl: The challenge that would cover this is the 30 day challenge - 58, 65 and 74mm SAKs Start a new thread and post a photo daily of any SAK 74mm or smaller ( you can switch it up daily ) for thirty (30) consecutive days. I started it a couple of years back, and had to drop out. Let's make a go of it!

:ahhh Minichamp Monday!! :ahhh

Can I join you?

I gave mine to my wife :facepalm: and it went MIA shortly after that. It's probably here somewhere...

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.
Better to use a blade not the nail file I find ... :facepalm:

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:

I jabbed myself with a Kershaw a week or so ago while closing it...Guess my hand stumbled during the process.....hope I sell that sucker soon. :-[

Today the MiniChamp helped open a new work watch (Casio MRW-200H-2BVEF)
It's a Casio & was £28 from Amazon and so, if it dies at work :dunno:

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.

I'm fairly certain that I have more MiniChamps that I need, but I do miss the bead and my spoon handle pull.

Excellent uses awl :tu:
Today the MiniChamp started off the destruction of a duplicate credit card (the bank sent two in error :dunno: )
The scissors did ok initially, but it was a tough ask and they needed some help ::)
-
Decided to carry the MiniChamp at home today (O/G Surge for work as usual)
No uses for either today ::) because;
1) I was delivering training at work.
2) At home nothing is broken....yet*

Again, very nice minichamp Barry ! It's a beauty, I'm super tempted to get one on the long term, even if I do like the pen ! :drool:

Minichamp Monday started off at the dentist office. Remember to brush your teeth and floss they said :twak:
All’s I can eat are simple foods for now :rant:
The Minichamp and Alox Solo helped prepare.

Midnite Minichamp and Alox Minichamp both got some pocket time today. Home pocket and work keys.

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.

My son's Manix is what got me into Spyderco. It impressed my by the quality of its build and that wicked edge.

Minichamp has been my goto SAK since I purchased it. Everyday it's on me. I love this thing.

They're great!! I have both the cellidor and Alox versions. I love that ball point pen :D

The Midnite MC is quite a capable tool and paired with the Waiter makes for great duo. I got through a bit of packing today with just these two.

They also don’t weigh down the gym shorts on these hot days. But, to be honest, I despise wearing athletic wear around the house, I just didn’t get to the laundry.

The Alox Solo is a great knife and so is the Alox MC. What better way to spend Monday Oneday and Minichamp Monday than with this pair.
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
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.

I've noticed that the cut-n-picker sharp hookie thing is a little bit of a 'gotcha'. Easy to get gigged on that thing. Much more hazardous than a knife blade. Got to love some insect photos. Best wishes. G

That cut-n-picker is definitely a cutter! :ahhh

I'm pretty sure this is the MiniChamp I carried during the MC Challenge. Wild turkey gobbling in my yard this morning. A few years ago I heard someone gobbling from the edge of the woods near the little stream. Nobody asked if they could hunt, so I went out and yelled at them. Of course, it was a real turkey that I chased away. Best wishes. G

Trespassers just torques my screws. They used to shot across my uncles property lines at the ranch until he borrow a front loader and starting piling up dirt in front of their blind's line of site. Took a few of mounds for trespassers to get the hint. Didn't happen again.

The Eclipse edition... unfortunately we're experiencing showers at the moment :facepalm:
-
I am sorry that you missed out on the eclipse, Barry :(
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 actually got a chance to see just a few moments of it. The sky's cleared just enough to catch it about 5 minutes after I posted that picture. It was great!
-
Here's my (second-favourite) Minichamp. I gave the other one to my brother when he moved to Spain and I hope he makes good use of it! The Minichamp here is alongside my favourite historical text -- Wulfilas' Gothic translation of the New Testament (and like five pages of Nehemiah) from ~365AD.

I love mine! I have one of each, a cellidor and an Alox. This is my true EDC.

I absolutely agree, I used to exclusively carry alox models but I realised (quickly) how much I miss the tweezers and teethpick. My wife thinks it's weird to have a reusable teethpick but as long as one sanitises it correctly it can't be that gross, right? (they're used to pick more than one tooth -- they should be called teethpicks, like teethbrushes and teethpaste! I have very strong opinions about this. :D
-
My wife is the one who actually uses her toothpick in her Classic for it's intended purpose. She says the same thing about sanitizing it. So far so good!
-
I talk to everyone. Pretty much. I asked an old timer if warm weather was really here for good. We were standing in line at the grocer. He said it wasn't summer yet because the blackberries hadn't bloomed yet.
37F here this morning. I guess he was right. How about a MiniChamp photo? Best wishes. G
