Posted these for the MTO Unleashed challenge.  It raises the question "How do you define the biggest?"

Not too late, am I?

Just to report that while preparing for our first post Covid19 trip, I happened to find my first SwissChamp which I'd lost years ago (at least 8-10).

I spontaneously decided this was fate pure and simple and that I'd take it along for the trip.

I.love playing with the mag glass.  There's a thread on the Swiss Army Knights forum dedicated to just that.

Good for you Tony!  I typically don't need the whole toolbox either, but I love it's personality.  I missed Swisschamp Sunday, but have mine with me today.

I bought a new Swisschamp last year (my first one) and it has the blue translucent scales.  My latest purchase was a used Swisschamp with the standard red scales.  I'm more excited for it to be delivered today than I probably should be, but this one is going into my 72 hour kit once I get it all cleaned up and sharpened.

Am I allowed to admit that my 72-hour kit doesn't contain a SAK (because there's always one in my pocketses)

I hear ya.  My plan is to have a Swisschamp and Soldier in my 72 hour kit and then anything I may happen to have on me at the moment of emergency will be a plus.

...and actually in a 72 type emergency, I'd be grabbing it on the way out!

My kit has a Gerber, and a SAK is always in my pocket.


I always envision having the SwissChamp in a kit that I haven't actually made (yet) an extended adventure kit - backpacking all the way through a continent, or something like that.  It's a permanent item on my bucket list.  Never checked off.

SAKGuy hiked with a Champion thru Europe.  He was my inspiration for getting a Swisschamp, hopefully to hike with on adventures somewhere, someday.
