 Cool knife-set November 10, 2008
Kumar Ravichandran (Greenbelt, MD USA)
I guess this is something everyone dreams of owning as a kid. Very nice collection of excellent tools, although I wish they would include an LED in one of the larger sets. Also, a wire cutter would have been welcome, although there are other tools one could use for the purpose. Superb gift, or just something super-useful to have lying around any time. Incredible how they manage to fit everything into such a small package!

I have a thing for the real Swiss army knives and decent multi-tools, and this Victorinox Swiss Army Champion Plus Pocket Knife is the one that sits in my camera bag, ready to go at all times. It's perhaps one of the best all-around tools that a pro or amateur photographer could look for as far as versatility goes.
There have been many times that this well-designed tool has come in handy in the field, and on a number of occasions it's been the one single item that has made the difference in a good day when shooting photos in the woods or wilderness. This knife isn't overly large, and even though it has a number of tools, it's quite manageable. The design has been proven over the years, and it's quite well thought out. Every single tool here has proven to be usable and easy to access once it has been used for awhile.
I'm not going to go through all of the tools that this handy Champion Plus Pocket Knife has, but read the specs and use your imagination. The large and small blades do just what is expected. The ruler is marked in inches & centimeters, and is located on the fish scaler/hook disgorger tool. There's a small multipurpose hook tool on the reverse of the knife that's quite handy for carrying heavy plastic grocery bags (twist and loop them), keeping them from cutting into your fingers. Works fine with clothes on a hanger as well.
[Note: see the photo with notes that I've posted here for a graphic breakdown of these tools and blades.]
Not well noted is the fact that it comes with a handy small micro screwdriver that's stowed within the corkscrew, so don't lose it. The tweezers are quite handy (for removing splinters or holding small parts) and these, along with the toothpick and ball point pen refill, can be picked up as spare parts from Victorinox if and when needed.
Some might prefer the Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Champ Pocket Knife because it has pliers, but I prefer the larger needlenose pliers in a regular multi-tool such as the lightweight Leatherman Kick Pocket Multi-Tool or the Gerber Suspension Butterfly Opening Multi-Plier for really getting the job done. If either of those seem too large, there's always the super compact Gerber Clutch Mini Pliers Tool, which can be carried in a pocket at all times.
Pros:
- Excellent value for the money
- Made from high quality Swiss stainless steel
- Excellent assortment of tools, all in one small package
- Has a lifetime Warranty
Cons:
- Blades don't lock, so be careful!
It should be noted again that all of the blades and tools are crafted from stainless steel, and it's still made entirely in Switzerland... and it has a lifetime warranty from a company that know how to back it up.
Tip: if you get one of these, spend about fifteen minutes familiarizing yourself with it, opening and closing all of the tools, and "exercising" them. Gently spray some WD-40 with the red nozzle tip into each of the joints so that they'll move freely in the field when you need them. Doing this will make it pay off with years of service for you.
This Victorinox Swiss Army Champion Plus lives up to its name. It's a great tool, an excellent value, and a splendid gift for just about anyone.
Swiss Army Champ Plus Complete September 15, 2008
Robert A. Mullen (San Jose,, CA USA)
The Swiss Army Champ is actually more knife than what I thought was ordering but it has everything from a little screw driver in the cork screw to a saw, to ball point pen, and also a regular knife blade. The knife is well made and is not a knock-off one from China. The only thing I don't really like is it fatter than I thought. At least one inch wide.
Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Champion August 31, 2008

The reason I purchased this knife is because I wore my other knife out; to many sharpnings and to many improper uses. I have had many pocket knifes,four of them Swiss Army Knifes. Victorinox makes great Swiss Army knife.
Very nice and usefull knife. August 30, 2008
I. G. Hristov (USA)
I own 4 Victorinox knifes and this is the best of them all.
I had a little problem with delivery of the product - the USPS post guy took the original shipment and kept it for him self ( I supose ), because he explain how he put the package inside my garage, which is impossible - I'm always keep my garage locked! There for I contacted Amazon.com and was nicely surprised when they told me I will get another knife. It took me exchanging of 3-4 e-mails and about 2 weeks to get the replacement, but I'm very pleased whith the knife!
All the tools are easy to be open (I had problem with that in another pair of knifes) and very, very useful. I'm taking the knife for hiking in Colorado where it will pay itself back in 10 days!
Thank you, Amazon.com!
