Amazon.com Product Description
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.

 Wonderful Product January 9, 2009
What can I say? Anything with the Swiss label from my personal experience to date has been nothing but the equivalent of the highest standards in excellence. Everything you expect in terms of function and efficiency, and then some. I purchased this version instead of the regular Champion because I was afraid that this would already be too bulky for my personal taste; I am glad that I was wrong. Not only is this product so lightweight that I would not worry the link breaking if I hung it on a lanyard chain, it also feels natural/is easily gripped by my hands. Solidly built, the tools (asides from the plastic magnifying class) looks highly resistant from breakage/wear.
The only thing I would have to say is that the primary knife, although nice, is not as long as sharp as I would have hoped. It is more ready to cut a stick of butter than to cut off a chunk of meat when you're out in the woods.
excellent product January 9, 2009
This was a gift for a guy who has everything. He loved it so much! I recommend this to everyone who has everything and doesn't know what he wants! Great gift.

Kook Knife! January 7, 2009
This knife is the real deal! I've had the fakes. They look good, but are always cheesey in quality. This Victorinox Swiss Army knife has ALL the goodies, and the price was unbelievable! Twenty years ago, I paid $70 for this same knife. Amazon offered it for a fraction. I bought two! If they offer them again at this price, I'll buy two more!
