Measuring 2-1/4 inches long, the Midnite MiniChamp is stylishly cased in a timeless red housing with the familiar Victorinox logo on the side. More importantly, the unit contains almost a dozen stainless-steel and plastic tools appropriate for just about any occasion. The standard tools include a small blade, a small set of scissors, an emergency blade, a nail file with a nail cleaner, and a ruler with a screwdriver. That's just the beginning, however, as the as the Midnite MiniChamp also includes a retractable pen, a cut and picker blade with a scraper, a cap lifter with a magnetic Phillips screwdriver tip and wire stripper, a mini light, a cuticle pusher, and a key ring. In short, there's no better accessory for camping, hunting, and fishing trips, along with general around-the-house tasks.

As with all Victorinox items, the Midnite MiniChamp is made to exacting standards, with dozens of individual parts and hundreds of 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. Outfitted with a plastic housing, the Midnite MiniChamp 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.

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Midnite MiniChamp Pocket Knife (Translucent Sapphire) (Sports)

The "Victorinox Swiss Army Midnite Minichamp Pocket Knife" is truly a wonder of miniaturization! Coming in at roughly 2" long, the knife attaches unobtrusively to my keyring.

The tools on this swiss army knife really do not lose much effectiveness despite their small size. I find the VERY SHARP knife, magnetized philips head screwdriver, practical (really!) scissors, and the bright red LED to be very handy. The built in pen has been a useful thing as well, but I try to not use it too much since replacing it might be difficult. The high quality and solid construction should make this little knife last for years.

Highly recommended! I might have to order more since my wife and my son keep eying up mine!

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Midnite MiniChamp Pocket Knife (Translucent Sapphire) (Sports)

My dad bought me the original red minichamp when I was studying abroad. I lost mine a while ago. After watching a few episodes of MacGyver, he got me thinking where my SAK is. So I looked for a minichamp that I used to have it around, then I found this with a mini red LED in place of tweezers.

I know there are other colors available for this model. But I wanted a color that I truly like. This is it, Translucent Sapphire. If you're tired of the original red. This is the solution!!

This SAK has everything I need for daily usage. I use the blades and bottle opener the most. I have my SAK in my pocket 24/7 when I go out. I don't hook mine to the key chain, it won't scratch the plastic surface as much. Plus, it's easier to pull my knife out this way. It's annoying having bunch of keys around when you're using the knife.

The instruction sheet that comes with it doesn't explain much about this particular model. I wanted a bit more history about this model and the functionality it got.

If you wish to get a pocket size SAK with cork screwer and a wood saw, this isn't what you what. This is a key chain size SAK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool little Swiss Army Knife, December 20, 2009

The MiniChamp is the biggest little Swiss Army Knife out there, with more attachments than you'll know what do with. But it's very useful, with a bright white LED flashlight, mini ballpoint pen, scissors, and numerous blades. My only CON is that it looks so nice, I don't want to carry it around because I know the shiny transparent blue plastic cover will be covered in scratches in no time.
