Talk:SwissChamp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I believe the Swiss Army Knife model that is in the permanent collection of MoMA (Museum of Modern Art in New York City) is the Victorinox Champion (and not the SwissChamp)

Searches at MoMA.org for -
"SwissChamp" - shows No results.
"Victorinox" - shows only the Champion in the Collection.
I have a scan from an older Victorinox brochure showing the Champion model with its functions.
There was also a more recent limited re-issue of the Champion PLUS model - which adds the "Plus" scales accomodating ballPoint pen and straight Pin in the handles - as well as the jeweller's mini-screwdriver stored in the corkscrew picture here
