Nice job!  You better start easing down on the weight from the Swiss Champ to the Tinker Small soon though  :rofl:

Not in anyway affiliated with the scale maker. Just makes good stuff.

For not being affiliated you sure have done a good job at salesmanship. I think I need some of those scales. I love that old cross vibe.

The SC feels so small compared to the XLT that got most of the pocket time this Challenge.

Will be crazy with just the Small Tinker on a TEC clip.

If you like them the ones he makes with the cross outline are even better. More of a clean look and he can do almost any color.

Day 53: Went fishing but didn't get a chance to use anything except the scissors for cutting line.

I have been wanting to get out there and fish. I think the Pliers, hook disloger/scaler, scissors, and screwdrivers seem like they would be all I need. I will just tie the champ to my life jacket in case it gets thrown overboard in the action.

Day 53 or 60!

Can’t believe it’s almost over already.

A little light wood working today with my trusty SC.

That's actually it for me to.  I put the body of the knife in a plastic baggie when I use it while fishing.  It keeps things clean and a little drier.  The Swisschamp is a great fishing knife!

Day 53

Today I was dressed up for a conference and the scissors came in handy for a few loose threads.

That’s something I can’t stress enough about - no need to worry about rust with SAKs. Priceless

Day 55

This knife has all the tools I need for all the various projects and crafts I end up doing with my kids. The file putting in work here to remove the sharp bits off a plastic knife to allow safer sword fighting in the tub.

Looking good gents.

 Its always good to not have to go back to the shed for a cutter for the trimmer cord.
