The Victorinox Champion Original is an iconic and historic model, the direct predecessor of the modern SwissChamp. This example is an early version, recognizable by its configuration without a multifunction hook and the magnifying glass with the characteristic gray plastic mount. The knife features a wide array of tools from Victorinox's early production period, making it a worthwhile item for collectors of vintage Swiss Army knives.
Stands:
- Blade: Shows clear scratches and signs of use on both the main blade and the smaller tools.
- Handle: The red Cellidor scales are fairly heavily scratched and show clear wear, justifying the Grade C classification.
- Mechanism: Despite the cosmetic wear, the mechanism is functionally sound; all tools have the necessary resistance and snap. The metal file shows minor signs of age/oxidation.
Specifications:
- Brand: Victorinox
- Model: Champion Original (Vintage)
- Steel type: Stainless steel
-
Lock: Slipjoint

We are strict in our assessment, so that upon receipt it can only be a pleasant surprise:
- Grade A: In excellent condition. May show minimal signs of storage or light rubbing on the scales, but is in very good condition.
- Grade B: A fair example. It has normal scratches on the handle or blade from previous use, but is technically 100% sound.
- Grade C: Clearly heavily used. Expect visible scratches, dents, or dull spots. A true work knife.
- Outlet: Here you'll find knives with engravings, heavy wear, or defects. Always check the specific description and photos.
