In fact, most of the tools in the Swiss Champ feel bulky and unwieldy for prolonged and heavy use, especially with my medium-sized hands. If you have bigger stronger hands, your experience might be different. For occasional use, however, this discomfort is not noticeable. Victorinox Classic SD sacrifices a bit of versatility for lighter weight and better carry ability. It’s not as vicious-looking as its big brothers, but it’s irreplaceable for EDC. The Swiss Champ is a Swiss Army knife cranked up to 11. It has EVERYTHING and then some! Even a ballpoint pen!

Admittedly, you’ll have a tough time with it in a survival scenario or bushcrafting in the Brooks Range of Alaska. However, this knife should be more than enough for an average handyman, cyclist, or gardener. I call it “the Tinker with an extra saw.” Apart from the small saw, this top-quality piece is identical to the Victorinox Tinker. However, an aggressive double-tooth serrated edge saw blade is a must-have in the great outdoors. If I have to carry it with me, I would rather use a sheath attached to my belt. In case I don’t have a sheath, I would prefer to carry it in my bag. If I am not carrying a bag, I would rather avoid carrying the Swiss Champ altogether. I would go for something smaller and lighter, like the Vic Compact or the Vic Super Tinker. Apart from regular outdoor stuff, your knives also need to handle potential wounds, punctures, gashes… A slot for a sewing needle, a good pair of scissors, tweezers, a reliable blade… This is all a MUST-HAVE!

That last paragraph is just to prove this is a real review, from one who has two Victorinox SwissChamps - and a whole host of other items from the same source. Not some "Paid-for" chinglish scribblings. The toolset includes a large blade, scissors, can opener, wood saw, bottle opener, fish scaler, slotted remover, thread loop, Phillips screwdriver, corkscrew, nail file/cleaner, reamer, and a key ring. However, this is not very comfortable with the Swiss Champ. Using the ballpoint pen like this feels even more awkward just because of the wide girth of the Swiss Champ. There’s no such thing as the best Swiss Army knife. There are only the best model knives for specific activities. Victorinox offers Swiss Army knives in three distinct sizes: small, medium, and large — and as you probably could assume, the second one is the most popular among consumers. On the other hand, small knives are the most suitable for wearing on a keychain. Large Swiss Army knives have longer blades and tools for more demanding tasks but are the bulkiest to carry around. Depending on the size you select, upping your budget will also get you more onboard tools.

The Victorinox Fieldmaster Swiss army knife only comes in red, while the Huntsman features more color options. My favorite is regular green camo, but translucent sapphire looks awesome too. The hook can do anything from carrying a bundle to tightening lashings. It’s a pain to open though unless you have long nails.Make sure you consider this, especially if you want something that opens with one hand.The saw is housed in an extra layer. So, the Victorinox Hiker has 3 layers of tools, while the Victorinox Tinker has only 2. Just some food for thought regarding a slimmer profile and its effect on the overall carry ability. That’s why Victorinox Swiss Army Fieldmaster will always be my champion Swiss army knife for survival. The Victorinox Huntsmanis an excellent alternative. There’s No Such Thing as the Best Swiss Army Knife… My own favorite Swisschamp tool is/are the pliers, which, though small in size, include a crimper, wire cutter, nut gripper and serrated plier tips - all in a compact yet robust tool.

The Victorinox Swiss Army Fieldmaster is primarily designed as a multi-tool for outdoor use, including camping, gardening, hiking, fishing, bushcraft... This makes it a perfect companion in any type of survival scenario. As such, some of the tools in the Swiss Champ like the fish-scaler and even the wood saw, are almost useless to me as these are mostly used in an outdoor environment. Your usage may vary. Also, if you are a big and tall man, the size and weight may not be an issue for you. As you can see, that is a long feature list. The SAK 91mm models are the most popular Swiss Army Knives from Victorinox. And the Swiss Champ has almost all the tools that you will find in any popular 91mm SAK. Yes, in a way, the Swiss Champ is the Swiss Army Knife of Swiss Army Knives! As I already mentioned, when it comes to classic Swiss Army knives for any outdoor activity, my favorite is Victorinox Swiss Army Fieldmaster. If you want to open a bottle of wine, you can go for the Huntsman, for the extra corkscrew.It’s a bit on a bulkier side, though (with 4 layers) so I wouldn’t recommend it as one of your EDC knives. However, it should be a perfect companion for hunting and fishing.

I remember having to cut my friend out of his jeans after getting impaled on a large branch. The blade on my trusty Victorinox Fieldmaster did it in seconds. You never realize how important a blade, scissors, and a sewing needle can be until you’re faced with that kind of situation.

I want to be able to open a can or a bottle, saw through a branch, drill a hole through a piece of wood, start a fire… Regular camping stuff. My gear needs to be able to handle all that, for the right price. I generally view the Victorinox Classic SD knife as the Leatherman Skeletool of Victorinox Swiss army knives. It’s a perfect piece for your everyday needs as far as multi-tools go, and one of my favorite EDC tools.
