The Pocket Knife is the third Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Champ pocket knife that I’ve owned. I carried the last two Swiss Champs in a black leather Victorinox Pocket Knife Clip Pouch (B000HJKT9Q). When the leather covering the belt clip came off that pouch, I reordered the same model pouch. After several years of use, the grips (aka scales), fell off and, rather than returning the knife to Victorinox, I decided to replace the knife with a new one. When the new Swiss Champ came in, I continued using the same clip pouch that I’d used to carry my first knife in, even though the case fell off my belt on numerous occasions. Unfortunately, I didn’t learn my lesson until last week when, while on a hike, I lost both the pouch and my knife, when the pouch unclipped from my belt one final time. That turned out to be a rather expensive lesson.
So I bit the bullet and ordered a new Swiss Champ. Lesson learned, this time I didn’t order a clip-on pouch. Instead, I ordered the
Swiss Army Model 33210 Carrying Case (Pouch), from Amazon. This leather case has a belt loop, rather than a clip. Before I ordered this pouch, I read a number of the many great reviews on Amazon. One of the reviewers, “Tool Collector,” noted that the Swiss Champ was a tight fit in this case, and that the case was made of dry stiff leather. “Tool Collector” suggested using Neats foot oil to soften the leather of this case. Wanting to avoid scratching the new knife’s shinny new ABS scales, I purchased a bottle of Neats foot oil to have on hand for when the new case and knife arrived.
When I received my new Swiss Champ, and the Swiss Army leather case, I was disappointed to see a number of large scratches on both of the ABS scales (grips). The Swiss Champ, which arrived in a sealed Victorinox cardboard box, wasn’t wrapped in a protective layer of tissue paper, or anything else. While I’m not sure how the scratches actually happened, I suspect it may have occurred during shipping.
I immediately contacted Amazon’s customer service, and they graciously agreed to exchange the knife. While I’m disappointed that I had!
To wait another five days for my SwissChamp replacement to arrive, the new leather pouch was nice and supple by then.
The replacement knife arrived in perfect condition.
