I love both. The cellidor one had little pocket carry for now. The Alox is permanent resident on my key chain.
The cellidor is moded BTW.... first thing i did when i got it was pop out that ugly pen scale, and put in a regular toothpick scale. Looks slimmer and way prettier...  :D
Thanks Mac for the detailed explanation always enjoy hearing other peoples takes on things.
I like that mod might need to try that myself.
 :cheers: :salute:

I love the ball point pen but I really like the Alox version.. slim and durable!  A keychain is a tough environment in which to live  :facepalm:

I don’t keep my 58mm SAKs on a keychain. It’s too hard to actually use them!

In other news, a drop of oil was all it took to bring the snap back to the couple of tools that felt kind of wimpy.

Now the question is, do I do a scale swap to get rid of the pen scale or go alox?

Make a pouch for your 58s.  Really easy project too.

Just wanted to report back  :salute:
Well it’s been 10 days of using the MiniChamp Alox and...
gotta say I don’t think I will ever be without this wonderful little knife!
I’ve carried it every day since I got it and it has proven useful each and every time I reach for it.
Really like how it fits perfectly (even horizontally) in the coin pocket of a pair of Jeans.

The best use so far was when I was down in my basement precariously perched on a step ladder trying to rig up a dehumidifier on a shelf using a thick rubber washing machine drain hose but the hose was too long and I need to cut it - but I had forgotten my main 91 mm carry. Ready to descend the ladder I suddenly realized that I had the minichamp in my pocket. Well that washing machine hose was no match for that little blade- it cut through it like butter.  :woohoo:

This little guy is a legit tool and not like a toy as I’ve heard in some YouTube review videos. I’ve also got pretty big hands and was thinking it might be too small or the nail nics might be too close together Or inaccessible. Not the case at all.
I’ve already learned the placement and location of each tool. I really love this thing and thought y’all might enjoy my report.
Hats off to the MiniChamp!  :hatsoff:

Put some Green Tea scales on mine. It’s not quite so chunky now without the pen, and looks great. I absolutely love the wharnie blade.

Anyway, just cross your eyes for 3D.

Very nice!  My only complaint with the Pen scales is the thickness it gives the knife. 

Once upon a time I section hiked a section of the Appalachian Trail with just the Minichamp.  It did great until we needed a saw for firewood.  Luckily my son had his Hiker  :facepalm:

Got me thinking...  :think:
has there ever been a MiniChamp challenge?
It would be interesting to see if one could get away using just the MC for a whole month  :ahhh

 :like: Nice MC rvlulu :cheers:

Looks like there’s some interest for a MC challenge.
I’m not sure what other challenges are coming up- what is the consensus for the best month to possibly do this challenge?

I'd totally be in for a MiniChamp challenge. Any month after October would be fine for me.

I'm not committed to any more challenges as of now, so I'm free for any month.
