5.0 out of 5 stars An indispensible multitool that will withstand more then a few knocks!, 3 Jun 2006

By	Ethan Hammond "backontheroad" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

First of all, I was contemplating on whether to buy the Voctorinox Craftsman, but after much procrastination I decided to spend 6 pounds extra in order to get the Champ.

I am a student and it is a real pain, when I don't have utensils or tools to hand. I have used the knife on so many occasions, such as cutting food, perforating packaging and a multitude of other things. The other components such as the saw, screwdrivers and reamer have come in handy, when assembling flat packed furniture. Lastly the tweezers have a literal god send in removing splinters or picking up delicate items that are fiddly such as watch screws.

One tiny disadvantage is that the pliers cannot really be used for anything too substantial. The jaw span of them only seem to open to half an inch, thus the pliers are not practical for the big bolts and hexs around the house. But with that said, that isnt really a big problem and they are still useful for small camping based jobs, such as mending portable butane stoves or aspects of your tent. To remedy this I also have a pair of Sebertool (M2) snap on pliers that I carry with me.

Im yet to backpack to Croatia and Romania and I am inevitably going to throw this into my travel luggage.

In regards to the dimenisions of the knife, I would say it definitely fits snuggly into my hand and is in now way cumbersome ! I have the tan brown leather Victorinox pouch and so I have the 'Champ' holstered on my person most of the time, whether outside on the town or in the house.

I have owned 2 swiss army knives (huntsman and classic SD), but I must say that this knife is the most durable and useful that I have ever come across. It really is an essential piece of kit equally useful to both men and women. I cannot complement this knife too highly!

P.s. This knife has a lifetime warranty (with proof of purchase shown) and Victorinox UK have excellent customer service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic gift for a man who's difficult to buy for, 8 May 2005

By	Elise (Southend on Sea, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

My dad is extremely difficult to buy presents for, you spend hours trekking round shops wracking your brains, and even when he gets them tends to be inscrutable and so you're never quite sure whether he really likes what you've bought or not. In general, therefore birthday present buying is approached with some trepidation. This year I bought him this swiss army knife, knowing that he had a much more basic one and found it useful.

I was not disappointed, he actually appeared very pleased, and spent a lot of time investigating the uses of all the attachments (which there appear to be a couple of hundred of). I can highly recommend it for any man who loves a gadget, and as it comes inside a box, it's even easy to wrap up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, 1 Aug 2008

By	Mr. G. B. Powell (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I add my name to the other positive reviews of this magnificent knife.

Over a period of 25 years I have owned two of them, because the first got stolen twelve years ago and I immediatly replaced it.

It has been used daily. The blades have retained their sharpness. The chisel, boring tool, screwdrivers, scissors have been used daily.
The crosshead screwdriver has been challenged by some very nasty old screws yet the blades have retained their defintion. You can tell that it has been used by micro-dents, but most other screwdriver bits would have lost the ability to engage the screw at all. This one engages as new.
The scissors have done regular string, cotton, paper, thin card and fingernail duties and have not only retained their sharpness, but the machining of the pivot remains as solid as when new.
The files have had light use on metal and fingernails through the years and retain their bite without any dead zones.
The only blade I have not used is the fish-hook remover and descaler.
All blades lock and unlock smoothly and precisely.
The pliers are more suited for light duties. They can do noble battle with whatever is small enough to fit between their jaws. I have typically used it to remove or restrain small nuts or to hold things for soldering or bending.
The magnifying glass has two minor scratches through wear .. hairline and about two millimeters each but optical function is not impaired. It achieves big magnification over a small distance and is more for inspecting tiny components or splinters in skin than wider areas. There is minimal distortion over two thirds of the lens's diameter but then degrades rapidly .. that it the price we pay for combining a small lens with massive curvature. I could see no chromatic aberation.
The red plastic knife-casing has received no special protective treatment ... it gets put in my pocket alongside other tools and shows no more than a few minor scratches and the overall glossy finish of the red plastic has toned down to a lusterous glow.

Its very widest dimensions when closed are 90 by 32 by 26, and words I would used to describe it are 'compact', 'chunky' and 'dense'. It will fit in your pocket, and will not catch on things but will drag on light clothing.

Alternatives to this product?

Leatherman and similar. But these are, IMO a different category of multi-tool generally built around full size pliers. This enables them for some more heavy and outdoor use, as does their optional hex-socket driver attachment for screw-bits and sockets.
