As said in the headline; How do you carry your Victorinox Swiss Champ? In a sheat, in your pocket, or.........?

With kindly regards

In my pocket, but with a clip that holds it upright in my pocket.

I know this is a Champion plus,  but this is the same type of clip



I make them from plastic car vent-clip air-fresheners
If I can help, let me know

In the pocket of my jeans. Fits perfectly just as it is, no hassle. I've never thought of it too heavy...

When I carry a Swisschamp or any sak over 3 layers, I use a P-7 clip in front right hand pocket. :D

If I don't have it in my coin pocket on a pair of jeans (albeit it's rare I wear jeans anymore), it's in my Juicebox Skinth, which is a perfect fit. :cheers:

No batman look, there's a shirt over it, I don't carry the SC when I'm working or dressed up to go out

I usually carry a Glock, spare mag/light, phone and multitool.  If I added another pouch, I might as well add a cape and mask.  :D

A fair point well made, no carrying of Glocks here unfortunately, or anything useful!  :D

Like others have said, left front pocket, attached to my belt via a paracord dangler.  Keeps it upright in my pocket, and easy to retrieve when needed.  :tu:  The SC even helped make the dangler.....  :)

There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

Always front left pocket, but I have been thinking about getting a pouch. It gets lots of pocket lint all in it, which I clean out with canned air sometimes.

I have other, slimmer SAK's that I'd sometimes rather carry, but the SwissChamp gets a disproportionate amount of pocket time because of the way it situates itself in the pocket.  The slimmer ones turn sideways and try to lie horizontally across my leg.  The Champ's width, combined with some mysterious combination of my Levis fit and my anatomy, cause it to settle toward the centerline of my body in a vertical position.  I can almost forget that six ounces in is my FRP.  Amazing.  (To me, I least.)

I use a dangler made from some keychain parts I got from Walmart. It has a quick connect with a belt clip which is nice because I don't like having a lanyard or other material getting in the way when using the knife. I like danglers also because it puts the weight on my belt instead of my jeans. It also makes it easy to get change, ect put of my pocket. I also put my keys on the belt loop. :tu:

Leather pouch on right hip behind my Surge.  Been the same every day for the last 5+ years.

I carry my SwissChamp Plus in a leather belt pouch on my right hip.
I carry a Spyderco Endura 4 or a Cold Steel Recon 1 Tanto plain edge in my front left pocket.

When I have a Swiss Champ (I will own one again some day), I use a nylon keychain fob that came with my Tom Bihn backpack. Works perfect for 93mm, 91mm, and 84mm SAKs. One end connects to my belt loop, the other to my SAK, and in my right pocket it hangs unnoticed.

Probably not the answer you're looking for, but I carry my SC in the console of my vehicle.  It is handy, but more than I care to carry on my person, generally.

Most of the time I wear a pair of Fjällräven outdoor trousers, and they have a nice pocket on the leg, very suitable for the Swisschamp (see pic, not my pic by the way).

On the rare occasion that I do carry a Swiss Champ instead of a Climber I use a Zermatt sheath.  I've already got too much junk in my pockets with multiple sets of keys and a Kershaw or ZT folder clipped to the pocket.
