Great to see my home town and your Swiss champ touring about it. Manys the time I enjoyed chips out on the pier in Howth.

Ah no way lol.
Guinness in there is lovely, my homeplace is five mins from there.
Love to walk/cycle on the coast out to the bull wall in the mornings when I'm up. Enjoy your trip and shout if your down south near Cork and I can advise some places for you and the ever useful Champ to go to

A brilliant thread and relevant as my big old Champ comes with us when travelling. It's always in demand from Wife and kids.
I decided to retire it from hard duties as I found I needed a more stout pliers that the one in my Champ which was being abused.
The new Vic Spirit should do the job.
Wish you and the family safe travels.

I knew it would happen we had to buy a new suit case to fit all the stuff Nanna wants us to take home... Classic Nanna.
My wife cut the tags off the new suit case with her 80's Huntsman

I cut open two cushions and took the stuffing out of them so they will fit in our bags.
Nanna doesn't think we have places to buy cushions in Outback Australia

It's not the last but one of the last apples I'll peel in Ireland. There's still three left.

A little throw down action between rain showers. We can't take them home so we may as well use them. My son likes stomping on them.

I love threads like these. I've always doubted the utility of something the size of the Swisschamp, but between you and
Buzzbait
, I'm seriously considering adding one to my rotation.

Do it mate. I'd be lost without mine. I have a few other knives but this one brings back alot of memories. It's one of my favourites.
