Victorinox Swiss Champ Swiss Army Knife

Fab. Brilliant and really happy

The Victorinox SwissChamp is possibly the perfect pocket multi-tool - Period. Whether black, red or all colours of the rainbow is a minor detail - though the fact that there are so many after-market scale options is good for those that are fussy about such ephemera. What is important - above all - is the sheer quality of each component in this wonderfully compact toolkit. Mine sits in a Victorinox mult--pocketted pouch (#4.0567.03), with an AAA flashlight, spare (Lithium) battery, fire-steel & striker, sharpener and flat-folding Hex-key & small screwdriver set. All-in-all, with the Swisschamp, a total of 47 available tools available - in one compact belt pouch. Amazing. What's even better is that many of the Swisstool features are dual-purpose, particularly if you spend a little time on YouTube, where there are several Victorinox enthusiast's videos demonstrating uses for Swiss Army Knife tools that Carl Elsener never dreamed about..! In my case (pouch), I carry a full-size Fire-steel & striker, but if you don't pick your teeth, you can even buy (from Firefly), a miniature ferrocerium fire-steel that slides into the same toothpick slot. More versatility... 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. To make the Swisschamp perfect, Victorinox could have included a Locking main blade (as on their Wenger-derived model), for safety (I'd rather not lose blood because some moronic politician says all locking knives are "deadly weapons", purely to gain votes). It would also be an improvement if both the large screwdriver/bottle opener And the Phillips #2 driver incorporated the Wenger "Push-Lock" mechanism, which makes each item safer in use. Finally, Mr. Elsener (the fourth), can we PLEASE get rid of hook & loop (Velcro), fastenings for ALL Victorinox belt pouches..? It's cheap, it's nasty, it gathers fluff and stuff - and ALL such fastenings should be replaced with proper Stud/Popper fasteners.. 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. In short, buy a SwissChamp and a Leatherman Free P2 and all your EDC needs are covered.

Love it. Had it engraved as well, will be adding to it to make a collection

Excellent Product...very good engraving service!

The best Swiss Army knife, everything you could need, superbly engineered.

Arrived so quickly, engraved text on the blade looks great!

Fast delivery, item as described and a very happy 16 year old who has been admiring his new super useful gadget on a daily basis! : )

Far more than a penknife this is a pocket sized tool kit and had just about everything one is likely to need including a ballpoint pen and toothpick, for which replacements can be bought, a little screwdriver useful for specs etc, corkscrew, bottle opener, pliers, scissors, tweezers, nail file, cross-point and straight screwdrivers as well as knife-blades of course, I recommend it strongly and very handy multi-function tool.

Beautiful item and excellent customer care and service. I opted for an engraving in ancient Greek. However it turned out that some of the hyphened characters would not print correctly. Rather than sending this directly for the laser printing, the 365 team contacted me to let me know so that we could find an alternative solution. Finally the team managed to find the perfect solution for getting the final result and engraving I had in mind. The final result is just wonderful while I am very thankful an grateful to swissarmy 365 for all their care and support in delivering an excellent product.

My fiance wanted 4 of these as wedding gifts for his bestman etc and we ordered all with laser engraving using Times New Roman as the font. The engraving is immaculate, they told us how good it would be over the phone and we weren't sure what to expect but having opened each one up we are delighted.

I ordered this midway through Friday afternoon with next working day delivery and was chuffed to bits when the item turned up on Saturday morning with the first post. Thank you for a great product and top service.

Top quality item and service, good packaging, fast delivery and one very satisfied customer.

I bought my original knife in Riyadh Saudi Arabia in 1981 when I was working there. I had it confiscated at airport security six weeks ago. I was sad to lose such a well made useful knife. This replacement is just as good if not better.I hope I don't leave this one in my hand luggage.

Bought laser etched with a personalisation, it was badly printed and not laser etched, loads of overspray, almost illegible. Very disappointing

Very good service. Thank you

Enjoying having a personal tool kit on my person no matter where I go or what the need be for it’s uses. This is the replacement for a 30 year old Huntsman I had that was starting to fall apart and played its part in me achieving the Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award. Thank you

28 years later and it's still going strong.

Absolutely fantastic knife and incredible customer service. Was engraved and delivered within 24 hours! Very pleased, thank you!

Perfect present, my friend loved it.

Many years ago I was in Saudi Arabia and a truck got stuck in the mud. I used my Swiss Army knife to cut some branches off a tree and put them under the wheels. Low and behold the wheels gripped on the branches and the driver managed to go on his way. My knife saved the day, I wouldn’t be without one

This was a gift for our teenage son who loved discovering all the tools. The icing on the cake was the engraving of his name on one of the blades. It will be a gift to cherish. Great customer service. Would recommend

bought this for my sons birthday ,he loves it so well made R.M

Wanted a socially acceptable knife that does not look offensive. Class handle, stiff lock. Not legal but suits my needs v well

Very well made and excellent fast delivery

For me l find the swiss champ Army Knife is an every day aid. From the two blades to the the pliers and especially the scissors. Have already trimmed some bushes with the saw blade,and for the price l am well pleased. This is my second Swiss Champ Army Knife l have had over the years.

This is my 4th one and as ever the product continues to improve. Build and service as good as ever.

Great quality knife and everything you expect it to be from the Swiss Army store. A great range of useable tools built to the usual exacting standards.

I never got it. Paid for not recieved

Excellent product, has most things you might require when away from home.

Had this engraved for my 18 year olds birthday. Looks amazing and is a very high quality. Highly recommended. Excellent service.

Excellent product..great build quality

Excellent piece of kit, and the engraving made it even better. Quality made and has everything I need.

Excellent product. Bought as gift

Hopefully the S.A.K will be appreciated this w/e. Excellent service andI hope a very exciting present.

A great all round pen knife, everything you need in one place for lifes little emergencies. I've carried one around with me ever since I was in the cubs scouts and this year I thought I'd treat myself to an up grade, I'll save my old one for when my grandson starts going to the cubs scouts, I'm sure he'll have lots of fun whittling wood and making tent pegs with it.

I don’t know where I’d be without it. My previous Champ was pulled by Airport security and I ordered a new one not long after the plane landed; that’s how important it is. Also.. I’ve used the knife for a huge variety of jobs - a real toolkit. If you have got one. GET ONE.

Excellent quality, versatile tool.

Bought this as a gift for the boyfriend for Christmas so I can't really give a review on how it works, but it looks and feels like it's great quality.

This was purchased as a birthday gift for my son he was very happy with it.

My husband really liked his present

Great quality as you would expect - we already have one and its invaluable and this was a gift for our nephew - it will last him a lifetime - thank u

I bought this as a birthday present for my son who is a sound engineer and he is absolutely delighted with it. There are so many tools that are useful to him. He also likes that I was able to have his name engraved on it so that if colleagues borrow it he will get it back!

It was a present for our son and he loved it.

Brilliant tool, light enough to have in a pocket with at least one of the items you will use daily. This one was a present which we had personalised and went down a treat.

the swiss champ is a awesome tool Mine lasted about 10 years I shall be ordering a new one in the near future

prompt quick service

Excellent knife and service from your company. However, I'm a little disappointed that the missing pin that should be inside the knife was missing upon arrival and despite my having informed you of this, I still have not received it.

I purchased my SwissChamp in Miami late in the last century, and it came in a leather case with a number of other useful accessories including a tiny Maglite torch, a compass and many other useful items. Sadly, these other accessories do not seem to be available now. The knife itself has been first class, being in as good condition as when purchased; I can highly recommend this knife.

My father bought me the SwissChamp knife in Jamaica on a family holiday when I was 13. I'm now 30 and the knife still works perfectly. I haven't exactly kept it in a display box, either - it's seen some pretty brutal use in its time but has withstood it all. I came to visit this site because I wanted to check if it was still available to buy for my children when they're a bit older. I couldn't recommend it more strongly: I am sure mine will last my whole life and longer.

I have owned one of these for around 10 years and apart from losing the pen along the way it is still as good as the day i bought it. No rust at all.

The SwissChamp is my third Victorinox. Having owned the Spartan and Huntsman which are of the same high quality, I wanted something with more functions. The SwissChamp was the answer, it has so much on it but doesn't feel really heavy or bulky, it still feels really compact. Everyday you find yourself turning to it to fix a little job or carry out a task. I use it at home, for work and also take it camping and hiking.

We bought this as a leaving gift for a member of our team who was leaving after 11 years of service and wanted something special. The SwissChamp was a brilliant solution as a memorable gift that can be used everyday but will also stand the test of time.

The best swiss army knife by miles. Has everything you need it on it and more.

This product looks even more impressive when you receive it compared to the pictures. I ordered mine with engraving on the blade and the finish is professional grade. I am very happy with my purchase and will shop here again.
