this knife is good, but, i will highly recommend “Swiss Champ”. because, “Swiss champ” have every thing that “Swiss Work Champ” have. “Swiss Champ”, the size is more easy for you to carry. and price is lower then “Swiss Work Champ”

the work champ is quite heavy and long for the pocket. it could use a short blade added. otherwise great for the purpose of a multitool for hiking. the swiss champ would be a better value if the main knife blade would be locking.

It has all the essential functions of a well-rounded Victorinox multi-purpose knife.
Though it is possible to fit this into a pocket, I purchased the Swiss Army 111mm pouch with rotating clip to hold the WorkChamp. For me, the most layers for pocket carry in a Swiss Army Knife is between 3 and 4.
I would like to see the lock blade as a one-handed opening variant (ie. One Hand Trekker) with a liner lock. Also, if the bottle opener/flat bladed screwdriver was also locking (again similar to the One Hand Trekker) that would be nice and the inclusion of the sealed ball point pen.
All in all another great SAK to add to my edc rotation.
Addendum:
Also wanted to add that in order to access the two phillips screwdrivers, the pliers/scissors has to be folded out of the way first, deploy the screwdrivers, and then fold back the pliers/scissors. This is different as opposed to the SwissChamp/Explorer phillips screwdriver where one can just fold them out.

This product is up to or exceeds (if that is possible) the high quality we have come to expect in a Victorinox Knife. Yes, the knife is larger than the average pocketknife, and that is just the point! This is not your average pocketknife. The knife feels good in your hand given the shape of the body of the knife. All of the tools work well and the knife comes razor sharp.

I received a small (keychain size) Swiss Army Knife as a gift and was impressed by its quality and functionality, despite the small size. However, I wanted something larger that could tackle bigger tasks and was easier to grip. After much searching (I thought I’d never get through page after page on Amazon) I decided on the Work Champ. For starters it has a locking blade-very important in my opinion. It fits the hand nicely and has a good selection of tools without being overwhelming.
The quality of finish is superb. With so many cheap knockoffs from China I’m glad that products of this caliber are still being made in their original countries. Certainly, you pay a bit more but it’s worth it knowing you have the real thing. My only complaint is that it didn’t come with a belt pouch-I had to order it separately from Swiss Army’s website. I definitely recommend Victorinox products.
