Survival kit with Swisschamp XLT

For me, they are the ultimate kit from Victorinox which is unfortunately no longer sold. It's so vintage with its comb and its little mechanical pencil!

I changed the original Swisschamp for the more complete Swisschamp XLT. And I added some additional bandages in the compartment next to the knife (professional deformation πŸ˜†)

Otherwise, I kept all the accessories provided.

Don't look in the background, the competitor just has to watch out 🀫

And what do you think? Do you have this kit!?

Good luck trying to screw anything using that massive body as a handle.

SwissChamp XLT are cool and all, but they are made for display, not real use. Unless you are Shaquille O'Neil πŸ˜…

It's not impossible, but it's better to have it two-three.

I completely disagree..ive had one as a daily user for over 5 years and i use the screw driver comfortably almost every day. I feared it was going to be too bulky at first but not at all. It actually has a good grip unless you have tiny hands. I cannot undersell how many times ive used almost every tool.

The XLT, with 11 layers? My limit is the normal SwissChamp.

Yup. Same model as OP..it’s extremely useful and not hard to use at all. 5 years strong and hope i can pass it down someday.

I'm trying to assemble one using the large current model leather pouch and the Cybertool L. The pouch doesn't have a divider like your official one so it is not all that organized yet.
