The Swisschamp, from Victorinox (Now the only Swiss Army knife company since they bought out Wenger, their opposition).
It's 33mm across. That's a good couple of fingers thick. It's right on the edge of being comfortable to hold in your hand.
It weighs in at 185 grams. Better than a small tin of tuna. Put it this way, it's not ideal for carrying in the pocket of a pair of tracksuit pants unless you don't mind hitching the waistband up every so often, or giving people an unwanted surprise! ![]()
It's got everything that opens and shuts, ha ha.
It's a good "carried in a belt pouch" kind of knife.
I told you it was a chubby little thing. ![]()
And it has a tool "for any occcasion"...
There's even a number for everything!
I tried matching the numbers up to the tools and after a bit my eyes started to glaze over... ![]()
Here's a list of the tools, anyway, just to overwhelm you with detail. ![]()
