About this deal

This is one I probably carry more than I should. I like it more than the Champ version (not listed in my review) because it doesn't have the pliers which add significant size and I personally find not very useful. The pliers are too small to get good torque. If I want pliers I end up pulling out a "real" set. Classic of Creativity: The Original Swiss Army Knife is a timeless classic, known for creativity, functionality, and quality. Compact, agile, and adventure-ready, it has been an icon since 1897.

With its compact size and ample skillset, the Victorinox Rambler is perfect for lovers of the original Swiss Army Classic who want a little extra functionality.A second larger run of silver Alox scaled Ramblers with the standard red Victorinox shield was completed for SB in 2011. Several other runs have followed Given that, I can't really give this version a fair review. If you want to get it scissors on a plane, it sounds like it works. I just haven't had the energy to test that theory when push came to shove.

The MiniChamp is kind of unique in terms of size, weight and functionality. The only other keychain multi-tool I find comparable to the Victorinox MiniChamp is the Leatherman Micra. The main advantage to me of this one over the Super Tinker is it has the wood saw. While I don't use the wood saw often, I actually use it more than you would think and it works quite well. It is slightly larger than the Super Tinker (because of the saw), but I don't really notice the difference carrying it around. Whether or not you would like it over the tinker depends on how much you want a wood saw.

However, this confuses me often as I am accustomed to opening the knife from outside in the Classic or the Rambler. Hopefully, with more practice, this won’t be an issue for long.

This is directly related to the weight consideration. When shopping for a multitool, your objective should be to get the best components possible within your given budget. This is one of the places where Leatherman shines. This full-size, budget-friendly offering from Leatherman serves as a one-two punch. And at just over half the cost of our top offering, its cash-to-capability ratio is actually arguably higher. Being a minimalist, I do not like carrying useless tools. In this sense, I would have loved it if the cuticle pusher was replaced by something more useful, or not added to the MiniChamp at all. But that is just me, you may find it useful.The file and flathead sit next door, with the grinding surface facing outward. Users will have to reach over the scissors to deploy this limb. This takes a bit of adjustment for those used to the Classic’s inward-facing layout, and could result in additional wear on the exposed portion of the file.
