Victorinox Swiss Army Champion Plus Pocket Knife
From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife a century ago comes the Champion Plus, a complete set of tools for campers, hikers, hunters, fishers, picnic enthusiasts, and people all trades–all neatly contained in a single implement. Measuring just 3-1/2 inches long, the Champion Plus is stylishly cased in the famous red Swiss Army body that’s recognized around the world. More importantly, the pocket knife contains 30 stainless-steel tools appropriate for just about any occasion. The standard camping tools include a large blade, a small blade, a corkscrew, a can opener, a bottle opener, a small screwdriver, a large screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, scissors, tweezers, and a toothpick. And that’s just the beginning, as the Champion Plus also offers a punch reamer, multipurpose hook, wood saw, fish scaler, and hook disgorger. In short, there’s no better accessory for camping, hunting, and fishing trips.
Should the basic tools not cut it, the Champion Plus steps up with a host of extras, including a metal file, metal saw, fine screwdriver, mini screwdriver, and chisel scraper. Add in such tools as a ruler, nail file, nail cleaner, magnifying glass, pressurized ball point pen, straight pen, sewing eye, and key ring and you’re well equipped for everything from repairing holes in tents to reading the fine print on instructions.
As with all Victorinox items, the Champion Plus is made to exacting standards, with 60-plus individual parts and 450 steps going into its construction. Victorinox attends to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. Such care is unmatched, and is why the Champ series is recognized by such international experts as the New York Museum of Modern Art and the State Museum of Applied Art in Munich, both of which have selected it for their “excellence in design” collections. Outfitted with a nylon handle and an aluminum housing, the Champion Plus carries a lifetime warranty.

About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener’s mother, and “inox,” or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer’s and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.

5 Stars Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Champion Plus
My gift recipient was thrilled with this Champion Plus Swiss Army Knife. It has so many features, one could “live in the woods” for 3 days using it. The price was wonderful, and I appreciated the fast delivery for an on-time birthday present. I highly recommend it for its utility and quality value.
4 Stars snazzy knife
My husband has been buying Swiss Army knives for many years. He loves the products. So naturally he had to have this latest for his Birthday gift.
He is very happy with it.
5 Stars How did I get along without this before?
What can I say? This knife has so many tools its geek-tastic to play with them all. I ended up buying 2 of them, one to keep in my car and one for my laptop bag. The build quality is excellent and every tool comes in handy. Perfect for road trips and such. The scissors are well made, the tweezers, the the files, the blades, the PEN (holy cow!). Talk about the one thing you’d want on a desert island.
5 Stars Swiss Army Champ
The name says it all. Victorinox has a nice warrantee and will replace any tool needed. Quality is good and I cannot see how normal use would cause a tool to break. How a company stand by its products could be the deal breaker for me. Highly recommend.
5 Stars Super Duper Sharp Slicer Dicer All In One Anything Everything thingamajig
It’s a great tool. The nail file is the hardest to get out. The rest are pretty hard. The knife cuts trough anything, and i use the mini screwdriver to get the tools open. There are too many screwdrivers. i use the hook disgorger/ ruler as a fork. i have used it 10+ times in the first day. But it is kinda large for a pocket. The corkscrew is useless because i dont drink wine. I’ve tried to burn ants with the magnifying glass! I dont know what the hook is for, and whats the point of the keyring? it’s too big for a keychain!Also,the scissors work really well. The bottle an can openers are helpful. The reamer isnt helpful. The fine screwdriver works well too. Haven’t used the wood chisel yet, or the wood saw. i have to wash the toothpick before every use! the pen is great but it is a straight pen you pull out of the side. The tweezers are great to for picking up anything small. The tools on the second side are almost impossible to remove. I dont know why amazon says there are 60 removable tools because there are 4!
