Still crafted in the village of Ibach, Switzerland, Swiss Army knives have been known for their quality and craftsmanship since they were introduced over 100 years ago. The deluxe SwissChamp XLT is fine example of these well-crafted tools. The XLT is the ultimate in portable pocket knives with 50 tools packed on its 3-1/2-inch-long frame and encased in translucent red plastic that lets you glimpse the inner workings of the knife.
The tools run the gamut from traditional hiking implements to hard-core gear for household repairs or fixing electronics, such as computers or stereos. The 50 tools include large and small knife blades; a nail file with a nail cleaner, metal file, and metal saw; a pharmaceutical spatula; scissors; a wood saw; a fish scaler with a hook disgorger and ruler; a pruning blade; an electrician's blade with a wire scraper; a case with 4 mm slotted, Phillips 2, 4 mm Hex, and Torx 8, 10, and 15 bits; a wrench with a 5 mm female Hex drive for D-SUB connectors, a 4 mm female Hex drive for the bits, and Phillips 0 and 1 bits; pliers with wire cutters and a wire crimping tool; a magnifying glass; a Phillips screwdriver; a cap lifter with a 6 mm screwdriver and wire bender; a can opener with a 3 mm screwdriver; a corkscrew; a chisel; a universal hook; a 2 mm fine screwdriver; a reamer; a punch and sewing eye; tweezers; a toothpick; a ballpoint pen; a straight pin; a mini screwdriver; and a key ring. All tools are made of first-class stainless steel and are designed to be multifunctional in numerous situations--for example, the ballpoint pen also sets DIP switches. This Swiss Army knife is covered by a full lifetime product warranty. -- Cristina Vaamonde

Now THATS a Knife,
By
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Champ XLT (Transucent Ruby) (Sports)
I have been carrying a Swiss Champ for the last 15 years. As a computer consultant, electronics hobbyist, woodworker, and Scout leader I use the knife constantly.
As the Swiss Army line has been growing, I have been having "tool envy" over the newer, slicker knives with the translucent cases, multiple bit screwdrivers and USB drives. I was loath to switch to the tech tools because I would be losing some of my favorite items like the magnifying glass. When I saw the XLT, my initial reaction was, "It must be mine"! Then rationality took over. I would be adding almost a pound and about 1/2 of an inch to an already extreme pocket load. On the other hand, it had the cool ruby case, lots of extra "stuff" and the freak-out factor when people see it was worth at least $25.00 over the life of the knife. I was sold. For the extra mass, volume and cost here is what you get over the standard Swiss Champ: pharmaceutical spatula: This is a 1" long flat non-cutting item. It's intended use is to get small amounts of powder out of containers. My family refers to it as the "coke spoon". Good for stirring coffee, unsticking stuck things and moving stuff you do not want to touch. Electrician's blade: This is a half-sized blade, about 3/4 inch high. It has a hooked shape that makes it look a little like a linoleum knife. It also includes a notch for scraping wire. It's intended use is for removing insulation from wire. It is great for cutting carpet, cardboard and those annoying wire-ties. Pruning blade: Another half-size blade. This one looks a little like a meat cleaver. Very flat blade, it is designed to remove small shoots and branches from plants cleanly. This is a great blade: it is wonderful for clean cuts in soft wood and plastic. I use it as a hobby knife like an x-acto #2. Driver: This is a 3 inch bit holder and a set of bits. The holder is 4mm hex. The bits include #0 and #1 Philips, a 4mm straight bit, 5,10 and 15mm Torx bits and a 5mm socket. This is really handy. You get a full sized screwdriver with a beefy handle. The Torx bits are nice, and they came in handy when emergency replacement of a headlight was called for. All in all, it is a great product. The only thing that it lacks is the USB drive, and I guess I can carry one of those on my keychain. It is heavy and it is very wide, about 50% heavier and about the same size as a standard flip open cell phone. But it does have incredible geek chic!

The best Victorinox I've ever owned.,

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Champ XLT (Transucent Ruby) (Sports)
I've owned several Victorinox knives over the years and this one by far is the most satisfying and versatile one I've ever owned. It is a beauty to behold and all the tools are well organized. A nice touch is the multiple bit screwdriver tool which has been designed not to fold closed as easily as the rest of the tools. This prevents it from accidentally snapping shut under hard pressure or extra torque. It's ideal for me because I work on computers quite a bit so it's got all the tools I would want or need. In regard to the size or width, it is nearly twice as wide as my old Victorinox but I don't really notice it as much. It has a nice solid feel in the hand and the heft is impressive. I didn't think I would like the translucent plastic as much as I do. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in a high-end and authentic swiss army knife.

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Champ XLT (Transucent Ruby) (Sports)
I have owned a Swiss Army knife for as long as I can remember- from the Camping to the Swisschamp. The Swisschamp has been around the world with me over the past 10 years!
That said, this knife is the best that they offer. While larger than the Swisschamp, it provides every tool that you could need- and it was time for an upgrade... I would, however, recommend a belt holder with this as it is too large for the pocket- but then this is not really a true "pocket knife"...more a "multi-tool"...!
