Victorinox Original Champion Swiss Army Knife

DESCRIPTION

In 1973 Victorinox added a magnifier and Phillips screwdriver to the Vintage Champion knife, and made their "top of the line" knife one layer thicker. This version of the Champion stayed champion for about 15 years, until it was replaced by a revised version of the Champion that added a chisel on the back, and then a still later Champion that added a hook.

NOTE-- In 1986, Victorinox added a set of pliers to the Champion, and introduced the SwissChamp knife (which also evolved through several versions during its production).

WEIGHT

The Original Champion knife weighs about 147.2 grams (5.2 oz).
