We've all gotten so picky and bougie when it comes to knives but in all honesty this is all 95% of us would need for a lifetime. I'm not ready to give up my pocket knives but I sure feel better prepared with a SAK on or near me. Thanks John

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

anytime shayne!

@simonh6371 Год назад

I own both SAKs and folders like Spyderco, Boker, Manly etc. Sometimes I carry both together.

@duckmusic 11 месяцев назад

I had one for the last 15 years and it was robbed out of my car a few weeks ago. It had travelled the world with me. But... I just bought a new one, so time to start making new memories with this one.

@TheFossilChannel 11 месяцев назад

sorry to hear that. the newer ones may have some slight upgrades to them.

@YoushouldloveyourselfNOW1738 8 месяцев назад

Sad to hear that, thieves are so pathetic

@jasoncabral3831 Год назад

I have one of these, 40 years old. Given to my dad by my grandfather, and I inherited after my father died

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

thats amazing. i hear stories about these being passed down.

@davidlocke1668 10 месяцев назад

For Fuc*s sake, don’t sell it period

@makr7895 9 месяцев назад

I hope you'll never lose it. Do you know Victorinox maintaines it for free? You can even have broken parts returned to you if the knife is of sentimental value (which yours is I guess).

@jeffreycastillo6522 Год назад

Swiss Champ is a complete package pocket tools for adventurer

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

yes it is! great item to have on the trail!

@Uns_Maps_8 3 дня назад

Great tool the Swiss Champ

@joshtaylor6634 8 месяцев назад

Just got one of these brand new current production.Started a dead leaf on fire with the magnifying glass and found out the fish scaler makes a decent back scratcher.

@video2193 Год назад

Once again a well made and informative video. The champ is by far my favorite SOK. With a bit of research and practice, i actually transplanted the digital watch scales from my Voyager to my champ and it fits fantastic. Also, i think its fantastic that you feather your tools while closeing rather than snapping them shut. Your champ will last a lifetime.

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

Thats a nice upgrade my friend. The swiss champ is probably my favorite model out of all of them. if it had a Lite module on i id be pretty happy.

@user-sc9xx7gf4r Год назад

Перфектен нож, който ми върши много полезна работа!

@davidv3281 Год назад

I really enjoyed the video. I appreciate your detail-orientated approach. I’m saving up for a Swiss Champ. I can’t wait to get my hands on one! Current SAK is the Huntsman. I carry it everyday… I can’t imagine not having it on me. Thanks for all the work you put into your video. I subbed!

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

thank you. i carry my cybertool lite everyday .

@pastrybaker72 Год назад

Love the Swiss Champ! I carry mine in a belt pouch, tho. It takes up so much real-estate, in the pocket.

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

this is true

@TBEDC Год назад

Great..SAK are timeless

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

love them. just got in another huntsman lite with newer module. it is warmer led and a bit brighter.

@leemichel8199 4 месяца назад

Love mine carry it everyday

@12345678927164 Месяц назад

Love my huntsmen, but this is amazing. Might have to pick it up!

@peddypeoples941 Год назад

The Swisschamp and Cybertools are very handy and a joy to use. I however prefer the Swisstool since it got the clip, more pocketable, locking tools, everything more beefy just the best multitool on the planet imho:)

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

agree with you. i love my swisstool quite alot. swiss champ is great for smaller carry! i believe some laws dont allow for locking blades in certain countries.

@magnusjohansson295 Год назад

I can't believe how much the price of this knife varies between different sellers. From my point of view as a Swede, the price ranges from about 800 to 1700 swedish crowns. Crazy.

@Kyle-bb9zp 11 месяцев назад

Wow that's crazy it's like 100 hear in us but that was a yrs ago when I got mine.

@YoushouldloveyourselfNOW1738 8 месяцев назад

Just bought my new one on Amazon for about $90 USD, for the blue transparent scale version

@stephengardiner9867 5 месяцев назад

The Swiss Champ has been my favorite for over 30 years now. Big but still practical. A light would just make it chunkier and heavier or it's inclusion would require omitting a couple of the existing features if it were to remain the same size. I keep a Mag Lite on my key-ring. Any Swiss Army Knife that lacks a corkscrew is...well... "underequipped". Very useful in its intended role of removing corks but also because it can hold one of those tiny screwdrivers which are perfect for tightening up those miserable little screws in the hinges of eyeglasses!

@TheFossilChannel 5 месяцев назад

Love the swiss champ its my second favorite next to the cybertool lite

@eugenesaint1231 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. I love my Swiss Champ -- wouldn't leave the house without it. It's great for everyday carry and priceless in a survival situation. I've added a Fire Ant and a magnet (in the screwdriver hole). I also keep a small metal (1 3/4 inch piece of) coat hanger under the fish de-scaler with which to poke things through small holes. I sharpened one end to a point and when clasped firmly between/beneath the Hook and Corkscrew (it locks in very well) it makes the knife into an excellent drawing compass or for checking radii. Great hack! Just sane... :^) Saint

@TheFossilChannel 11 месяцев назад

thanks for the info! good idea. The swiss champ provides a good platform for experimenting with things like this!

@e.s.l5861 Месяц назад

If a guy goes to Home Depot over to the hand tools, on the bottom shelf there’s some cheap needle nose made by Stanley. The interesting thing about them is they are Multitool style, needle nose, regular, wire cutter combo. A pair of those with a Swiss champ and a guy is pretty set up

@davidpayne4315 Год назад

I really like these knives

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

theyre great and work well!

@simplepreparedness Год назад

That thing is loaded. Depending on what you do that could come in handy. I think that would be a bit much for me but still very nice. Appreciate the review.

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

thanks brett !

@penguin9952 9 месяцев назад

Perfect video as I just bought a Swiss champs de VA6RJ

@TheFossilChannel 9 месяцев назад

Glad you got one ! 73 my friend! See you on 20m ssb

@fredhinck9685 Год назад

I believe the notch in the end of the scaler is a hook remover. Mine is in black

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

thanks for that !

@isthi000ify Месяц назад

Solid review of a solid tool thanks, but ive seen some of these with torch included?

@joshuasutton4043 Год назад

Yes it is love my tinker

@Kyle-bb9zp 11 месяцев назад

I like this knife it's awesome 👍👍👍👍👍. Some people or channels on RU-vid say it's to big it's 2 heavy you have to carry it in a pouch. I never carry it in a pouch. Just in the pocket. It also might have fit in the 5th jeans pick but can't remember. You are ready for anything with this knife.

@TheFossilChannel 11 месяцев назад

agreed!

@edwardfletcher7790 Год назад

I've got an old one, minus the hook & pin, can confirm it's second only to my Hercules 👍😆

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

i love the swiss champ because has many tools that i find useful packed into one unit and for size and weight. it is heavy and big ! but i find tradeoffs so it is useful.

@brucesmith9144 6 месяцев назад

I have one that’s nearly 30 years old (red) and a newer silver model which I think only has 31 tools. Purchased a new black one when the red one is retired.

@grahamekellermeier8280 Год назад

Great knife its a Champ among pocket knifes.

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

yes a very good solid choice

@markmacrae5373 9 месяцев назад

I'm glad you use the term slotted screwdriver. The other popular term flathead annoys me. Thanks for great video.

@byteme9718 3 месяца назад

The screw has the slot hence the need for a flat head driver.

@Dirtyhairy69 3 месяца назад

Nobody cares what annoys you Mark. Get over it

@lorenzocasano9060 25 дней назад

never go adventure w/out one . swiss champ , explorer, huntsman , climber my favorite SAK

@michaelbuddy Год назад

FYI the "wire cutter" on the pliers won't even cut a paper clip so it really is for thin stuff. That said still love this tool.

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

yes very small items and it also highly depends on the metal too.

@simonh6371 Год назад

But I guess you can cut through it with the saw edge on the file...I just ordered one and it's coming tomorrow so I'll find out then.

@devatwell334 11 месяцев назад

I cut welding wire with mine fir years.....yours mightve been bad or defective from day 1

@e.s.l5861 Месяц назад

I don’t know man, I’d never sacrifice the toothpick. I use it all the time for my teeth, also works good for gently cleaner electronic ports

@TheFossilChannel 26 дней назад

The tooth pick is a great tool and yes to the electronics. Im outside more than inside and i usually have a electronics kit for when i work on electronics.

@byteme9718 3 месяца назад

Keep one in your car along with a pair of pliers and a cheap Mora knife and you'll have everything you'll likely need.

@TheFossilChannel 3 месяца назад

Yes!

@americanpaisareturns9051 Год назад

I still forget there’s a push in there too.

@michaelcolloton6971 2 месяца назад

Except for the WOW! factor, I can't imagine any reason I'd carry this brick around. Among the merely stupid or utterly ridiculous toos in this beast, the pliers and the fish scaler immediately stand out.

@TheFossilChannel 2 месяца назад

Different tools different purposes.

@americanpaisareturns9051 Год назад

9:06 Yup! I’ve got the gray with glass magnification on mine.

@TheFossilChannel Год назад

lucky! those are the better magnify glasses!

@AwkwardHypernerd413 7 месяцев назад

I had a fake one of these. I used the majority of the tools, but there were some obvious flaws. The scissors were dull as fuck, the fish descaler wasn’t even sharpened, as was the case with the awl, the hook was missing, the pliers were thinner, the file wouldn’t stay in half the time, and it didn’t have the pen. That being said, when I finally got rid of it and I got a super tinker, I realize just how much I missed the other tools. Eventually I’m going to get a genuine Swiss champ to fill the “thick multitool” shaped hole in my heart.

@TheFossilChannel 7 месяцев назад

Godspeed. You will not regret it.

@byteme9718 3 месяца назад

Watch the prices as they fluctuate massively and then buy when the time is right.

@kommandokodiak6025 Месяц назад

now do a review of the workchamp XL (I say the XL model because the workchamp tools are already filled by your Swiss tool)

@TheFossilChannel Месяц назад

Have to save up to get one

@freman007 5 месяцев назад

I have a Swiss Champ but it doesn't see a lot of pocket time due to the size. I did pick up an old Champion (C) which, with the later scales, has most of the functions of the Champ, but in a more portable package, at least for me.

@TheFossilChannel 5 месяцев назад

The champion is a sweet spot for some who dont need the functions of the swiss champ

@paaruxd9679 9 месяцев назад

You can build a house with swiss champ

@tomvana4270 8 месяцев назад

City boy knife. When you might need to file your fingernails or cut a loose string off your suit. Can’t forget the wine cork remover and a tweezers to pluck that rogue eye brow.
