Some years back on another forum I was reading a discussion about what one item you would take with you to a desert island. Someone proposed a Workchamp XL. The general reaction was, "That's cheating!" :D

Wait a minute, what sheath is that?
It's a Maxpedition sheath, 4 inch. Pretty much bulletproof. Has elastic on both sides so I carry the sharpener that came with the knife and a AAA flashlight. The older ones have black elastic on the sides, the newer ones khaki. Workchamp fits perfect, I'm not sure about the Workchamp XL.
The sheath that came with the knife from CVW only held up a little over a month and then gave up. To be fair, it gets a bit of a workout here, but I couldn't take the chance on losing the knife so switched. The Maxpedition works really well for multi-tools also. :cheers:

I really want a Workchamp but I've never had one in my hands. Can somebody post some comparison pics next to maby a Swisschamp for size comparison? Thanks the help.
Great pics for comparison SG :cheers: Now I need one of those :facepalm: It looks to be (to me) nearly as pocketable as the SwissChamp :think: I :like: it :tu:
Thanks SG. Very helpful.

That's super awesome Obi!!!! Wow!!! :drool:
Beautiful work, Obi!
There are directions there I really want to see with the 111mm range - bigger knives with one multiple one handed openers, stayglow scales... if the one handed lock mechanisms could lock more tools to the side (like the bottle opener on the oht), that would also be great!
:cheers: :cheers: Can't wait!!!
AWESOME!!! :cheers: Pretty cool Obi!!!
That THANG has the "Obi-Glo" 8) 8) :D
The olive drab "non adidas" aka regular nylon scales...anybody seen those available? I like'em.
Congratulation.......right choice on the scales...... :cheers:

I was beyond delighted with this purchase! This is a really special SAK and I hope you enjoy having yours as much as I enjoy my Workchamp!Thanks NorCal! I'm looking forward to trying it out. I bought a lot of about 4 SAKs one time and a Hercules was in there. I did sell the Hercules as I was after the others. I remember it being quite wide for my liking at that time, this should be smaller in width I'm hoping.

So I took out the locking mechanism from my WorkChamp. Hasn't bothered me a bit. I never held a locking knife before age 60, and I really didn't cut myself any more then, as I do with locking blades now. Which is rare. I'm a down-and-out stroke guy with a knife. Probably cut myself more with liner lock multitool knives when closing them one-handed.What have you done to the knife to remove the lock? Asking because I wanted to modify one Outrider aswell for some holiday trips but dropped it.
@fb You got the old one which has the Sliding Lock.Yes, and I thought it was going to be the liner lock version, but I was happy to receive the sliding lock:

mine as following~ :climber:Awesome collection!
If I could, the Work Champ is an excellent tool. Has most of what one needs. The XL on the other hand has a lot of tools which may never get used, like the hoof tool or the gutting blade. As one with an assortment of large SAK's I try to stay with units which have some daily use, and not just excess tools which make the thing "larger" -- but add to it's usefulness.+1 on that XL is waaaay more than I’d need on a daily basis. Regular Work Champ seems to be a perfect EDC friend for me so far
Personally the Work Champ XL is just a bridge too far, in my opinion, YMMV.....// AND yes I have a Work Champ in my arsenal of SAK's.

I've had the slide lock Work Champ since 1999. I will admit to not really looking after it as I should have done over the years, so recently I bought the liner lock model to give the old girl a rest. One of these days I'll clean it up and give it a good sharpen, but for now, the newbie does the job on the occasions it's required. Although it won't see much outdoor action these days due to work/knife regs, so it's stuck with doing the odd job around the house. Still, after all this time, I couldn't be without one and 91mm SAKs seems very strange and small to handle to me.
I sold my Workchamp years ago. But a while back I got one in a large batch of SAKs. I had forgotten how nice these are :)When the price is right, fingerprints are a non-issue.
This one is in fairly good condition. Mechanickal would probably complain about the large number of fingerprints on it :facepalm:

I like the idea of a Work Champ SOS kit! I have mine on my belt right now, in the green Vic case, but want to put together a kit like yours. Was the kit an option for the Workchamp?
I am a die-hard Swisschamp fan, but the longer I carry this knife, the more I like it. For me, it carries well and I like the tool set.
I call them the SAKs of the 21st Century
