Champion Plus Features:
Abουt Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop іn Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel іn Tobelbach Brook tο rυn hіѕ grinding аnԁ polishing machines. Thus bеɡаn whаt wουƖԁ become thе international brand name Victorinox, a combination οf Victoria, fοr Elsener’s mother, аnԁ “inox,” οr stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, аnԁ, famously, Swiss Army Knives. Thе original product dates tο 1897, whеn Elsener patented thе Swiss Officer’s аnԁ Sports Knife hе supplied tο thе Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen аnԁ women shopping іn PX stores shortened thе name tο Swiss Army Knife, whісh lives οn іn English-speaking countries around thе world аnԁ hаѕ become a metaphor fοr versatility.

More useful then you may imagine,
The Victorinox Swiss Champ Plus is a very well designed multi-tool. The more you carry it, the more it will endear itself to you by proving it’s worth in the field as well as in the workplace or at home. At first glance some of the tools may seem superfluous, but in the long run you may very well use some of these tools even though you originally never imagined yourself being in a position that requires them. Fit and finish are first rate, as is always the case with Victorinox products. It amazes me that Victorinox is able to offer this tool at such a fantastic price while still manufacturing in Switzerland.
This tool is basically the same as the Victorinox Swiss Champ, minus the pliers. Losing the pliers gives you a tool with a considerably smaller profile which is therefore more pocketable, and as such I consider this more of a trade-off then a negative. If you plan to carry in a toolbox or glove compartment, you might very well choose the regular ‘Victorinox Champ’, while the ‘Champ Plus’ will be better suited to people who prefer to carry a tool on their person at all times.
Speaking of weight and size, this is at the very limit of what I would consider pocketable. It *will* fit in your pocket, but the weight may bother you depending on the type of slacks you wear. For dressy trousers in particular there may be some concern, less so with jeans or more casual trousers such as Dockers. A belt sheath is another method of carry that can alleviate concerns of the tool feeling too heavy in your pocket, but of course the trade off is a belt sheath is a bit of an eye sore in business or dress environments. Overall the size and weight is still smaller then a Leatherman Wave or other similar plier based multi-tools, so it is definitely small enough to carry on you if you are so inclined to do so.
Recommended Highly:
Every guy should have one of these on his person or close by, and you *will* be the hero and ‘save the day’ numerous times in your life as the months and years roll by. Take it with you to work, take it with you on dates, take it camping, take it everywhere you go (except the airport, unfortunately). Ounce for ounce, the Victorinox Champ Plus packs a huge punch. The Victorinox Champ Plus may very well become your best friend. Just give it a chance and carry it on you for 30 days, and you might wonder how you ever got along without one.
Pros:
-Value for the money
-Fit and Finish
-Encourages ingenuity and problem solving
-Useful and numerous assortment of tools in a small package
-Workplace/people friendly (not as likely anyone will accuse you of carrying a weapon versus a dedicated knife)
-Lifetime Warranty
Cons
-Size and weight are at the upper limit of what I consider comfortable ‘pocket size’
-No one hand opening or locking blades
-No included belt sheath for those who prefer that over keychain or pocket carry
*Other multi-tool and Swiss Army Knife recommendations that you should consider:
Victorinox Farmer (if you prefer a more spartan approach)
Victonrinox Executive (very slim and lightweight)
Victorinox Explorer plus (good compromise between size and versatility)
Victorinox Compact plus (one layer smaller then the Explorer, but with similar tool selection)
Victornix Manager (for keychain carry)
Leatherman Charge TTi (if you need pliers, one hand opening and/or locking blades)

|Awesome Knife/Tool,
I really like all the features of this Swiss Army Knife. It was affordable and really has a lot of useful tools. Some tools not mentioned above packed into this knife include:
Needle (near the corkscrew)
Micro Small Screwdriver within the corkscrew
metal saw
wood saw
These things come in really handy in the tackle box or glove compartment in the car. They also really work well hiking/backpacking/camping or unpacking or whenever a quicktool is needed.
A great knife at a great value with a great warranty.

|Great for the botanist/biologist as well as the handyperson,
I like this particular Swiss army knife because it has a bit more than the standard knife. As a botanist and biology teacher, the hand lens has been used many a time to examine detail on a moss or beetle. The saw is great for camping, as well as collecting specimens. Additionally, you have all the basic handy gadgets you need on a knife: screwdrivers, scissors, nail file, tweezers, etc, as well as your basic, essential knife blade. I’ve had one of these for over 25 years, and have used it on five continents and for a hundred picnics. My only complaint is that as a lefty, food/muck can get lodged in the grooves of the handle when you use the blade (e.g. cheese, bread crumbs, etc). I use the toothpick to clean it up, but a hassle nonetheless.
