The SwissChamp

Ah. The legend of the Swiss Knife! Famously carried around by members of the Swiss Army, we have all heard of these Multi-Purpose Pocket knives.

Never mind the fact that the Swiss Army is more or less unheard of except for this particular little jewel. Never mind that most of the tools you find on the knife are ones that you can never figure out how to use (Apart from the knife that is).

The fact is, that watching someone carry around a Swiss army knife, is just too cool. The slick steel, and the 'clack' sound as the tools snap back into place, give the piece the status of an "Irresistible Goodie". The most famous company manufacturing Swiss Knives is Victorinox. Especially after they acquired Wegner, they are the de facto Swiss Army Knife producers.


And the most famous Victorinox knife, is undoubtedly the Swiss Champ. As you can see, in the picture, it's a dinky little piece fans, which fans out into numerous tools for various occasions and purposes.

With a size of 91 mm, and weighing in at 128 grams, the knife feels pleasantly heavy in the palm of your hand. Apart from the standard tools like a knife, saw, and scissors, the Swisschamp includes some pretty useful stuff like a pen, a magnifying glass, a pin, and pliers.

If you want your "Irresistible Goodie" to become even more irresistable, try and get it in a color other than red. Everyone has a red knife. If you have a black one (Like I do - Though it's not the swiss champ), the Victorinox Logo really stands out, and gives it a very stylish touch.

There are many nice Swiss Knife models to choose from, and if the Swiss Champ isn't your style, you can find one that is. Another nice part of owning a Swiss Knife and drooling over it, is checking out the Victorinox Website. It fills you with info, and gives you true stories of how the knife has helped save people's lives, making you feel like the ranger you aspire to be (You wannabe, you!)

So carry at least one of these around, and watch people's eyes pop as you flash it out to trim your beard, or pick your teeth! To get it at the best deals, find it at www.pricealerter.com
