<p>I just got a Swiss Champ after borrowing my son's off and on for the past couple years. I love it! I used to think they would be an awkward carry until I started carrying one and I hardly notice it's there most of the time. My youngest son's dream knife is an XAVT!</p>

<p>Wayne,</p>
<p>Your XLT is the ultimate SAK! You did a remarkable job of getting <em>'most'</em> of the blades opened for a photograph. I know what a task that can be and usually cut myself while attempting to do it on just about any SAK that is larger than a Huntsman. So, I applaud your <em>near-success.</em> lol</p>

<p>I really like your translucent ruby red scales! And, I especially like that they still allow for the pressurized ball point pen! As you know, oftentimes, when an SAK has scales that are colored anything other than the traditional red or black they do not provide the additional slot for the pen and even go on knife backwards, with the shield on the same side as the corkscrew or Phillips screwdriver.</p>
<p>Great looking knife, Wayne! Good to see it...and, especially good to see you! </p>

<p>Here is a shot of my SwissChamp XLT model. These are hard to shoot with the tools fanned out. The pruner and electrician blades are not opened but are visible in the middle of the knife.</p>

<p>Thanks, George!</p>
<p>Yep! Ebay is the place to get a great deal on a Victorinox or Wenger knife. There are numerous Sellers who buy large lots of airport confiscations, clean them up and auction them off on Ebay. I would venture to guess that about 75% of the SAK's I currently own are from auctions like that. </p>

<p>Ricky, </p>
<p>Thanks for sharing your SAK's with us! I really like that pearl Classic! Is that a Knife Roll in what appears to be red (p)leather with the two buckles? If it is, I would really like to see a pic of it opened up -- If that would be possible?</p>

<p>I like your champ. I also have one I bought new earlier this year. I need to get some pics on here. I love the sheath , I don't have one for mine yet. Just picking that knife up makes me want to fix something !</p>
