Victorinox SWISS champ

I doubt there isn’t a boy scout in the land who wouldn’t swap an armful of badges for this Swiss army knife. However, what’s good for the Swiss army and boy scouts doesn’t necessarily make a good knife for sailing. The blades came through the saltwater test shining, but the insides of the knife were less corrosion resistant.

None of blades lock open. The only time this was a problem was when applying pressure while screwing – the driver blades can fold on to your hand. The pliers are okay for small jobs but aren’t big.

This knife has all the blades one could wish for, and while it has pliers, we missed a shackle key. www.victorinox.com SPECIFICATIONS MAKE Victorinox MODEL Swiss Champ WEIGHT 185g BLADE LENGTH 60mm CLOSED LENGTH 91mm LOCKING BLADE No FEATURES 33 SINGLEHANDED USE No
