SAK Champion, Champ & XLT Champ

[@taazen74]

I LOVE the XLT, perfect fit for me. 😊 👍

[@thesakguy3852]

You must have large hands for the XLT to be a perfect fit.🙂👍 Thanks for watching.

THE SAKGUY Yea, I have those long, thin piano fingers, you know, so it's just right. It's not pocket friendly, but to wear it in a leather sheath in your belt, should be no problem. It's a beauty, and it has that little extra that always means something for me. I'm now thinking of a Leatherman Juice, but, I'm not sure. I've been a Victorinox and Wenger user for years, but I must admit, I really like the Juice. Had one, and gave it away to a friend that really liked it. It's still in his pocket after all these years, maybe 10 years or so. So, it's a very good tool. And I like the finish on that brand from Leatherman. Sometimes I'm sitting and drawing my own multitools dream, hahaha, 😄. They are great though. Oh, forgot, whow, I have the fantastic Victorinox SwossTool SPIRIT RT, Limited Edition with the black leather case and those nice handles color, Anthracite (looks like polished, shining black/grey, strangely nice). The only thing I personally would like, is the original, broad blade that's on the other Spirit knives. This comes with a thin "normal" blade. I've been thinking about asking if the factory would change the blade for me. And I also want the extra set with all those screws and tools in e second pouch. 😊 We'll, I better take it from my draw. 😊. Best regards. 🇳🇴 💖

Nice comparisons, thank you.

Nice review, thanks!

[@thesakguy3852]

Your welcome, Thanks for watching.

[@CogitoErgoSum67]

my champ has the utility hook and pin. I guess the new models come with it

[@thesakguy3852]

That is the only difference between the early Champ and the new ones. Not enough for me to get the newer one. Thanks for commenting.👍😀

[@richardsullivan1776]

Thank you for your service sir. I recently purchased a brand new Champion Plus on Ebay for $67 American dollars. I'm assuming its new old stock. I got yesterday and its gorgeous. I have the pen, wood chisel, straight pin in the scale a long side the corkscrew and the micro screwdriver in the corkscrew itself. The only differences from your original Champion. Can you tell me off hand or approximately what year the Champion Plus was first produced and discontinued?

[@thesakguy3852]

I checked SAKWIKI and it came out about 2003 till 2016. Here is a link www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Champion+Plus

[@richardsullivan1776]

Thank you so much I really appreciate that.

[@aribbonatatime]

Nice review. Thanks. I think the XLT is kinda big too. I am looking to get the cyber tool 41. Do you have any experience with that model?

[@thesakguy3852]

I do have the Cyber tool and it is a nice size. The thing about it that I like is being able to change out the diver bits. This makes it even more versatile. Thanks for watching.

[@taazen74]

PS... I would like to have the XAVT for collection. It's just a masterpiece. I have the largest one from Wenger, but you can't hold it to enjoy it. That I could do with the Victorinox XAVT. That really a masterpiece of a toy. 😊 🤗

[@thesakguy3852]

I would like to get the XAVT also. The price is holding me back right now.

[@taazen74]

THE SAKGUY, the price is also holding me back sadly. But I'm watching on eBay, just in case. 😉

[@saviom8166]

No multi purpose hook in your champ? No straight pin?

[@thesakguy3852]

I got this Champ when they first came out in the mid 80's. Before they added the hook and straight pin.

[@bowtiejoe2413]

@@thesakguy3852 do the tweezers have a metal head?

[@thesakguy3852]

@@bowtiejoe2413 My Champion has the metal head tweezers. The other two have grey plastic.

[@jonasandersson7367]

I'm with savio

[@thesakguy3852]

​@@jonasandersson7367 I saw your earlier comment about the Hook, it is reviewed at about the 12:54 mark it is only on the XLT Champ. The other two where made before they added the hook.

[@saviom8166]

Very few people speak of what they've done with that chisel!

[@thesakguy3852]

I like to show how handy the Swiss Army knives really are.

[@allanjonalisidro7007]

3 big brothers

[@thesakguy3852]

Yes they are. There is one even bigger than the XLT it is the XAVT. It is out of my price range for now.

[@KandiKlover]

XLT ftw

[@thesakguy3852]

Its is a bit large. Thanks for watching.

[@Beaverbush1969]

It is pronounced “ Vic tor in ox.

[@CogitoErgoSum67]

the XLT is just overkill imo wayyy too big for edc

[@thesakguy3852]

You are right about that. The other thing is that it is hard to use due to its size. Thanks for watching.
