I got this Victorinox Hurcules this week.
It's a heck of a SAK,much bigger than my old Champ
& almost as big as the SS4.

I wanted pliers,a saw,scissors & screw drivers without the weight of a multitool.
The knife blade edge is 3 3/16" vs the 2 3/8"of the Champ.
The saw is 3 1/2" vs 2 7/8.I've used the saw on my Champ a heck of a lot & the added length of the Herc saw will make any needed sawing tasks that much easier.
I used my Champ as a mechanic in the Marine Corps & always wished I had the version with pliers.
The knife blade locks also,not really a biggie as I've never had the Champ blade close unintentionally,but you never know.
I'll be carrying the Herc in the psk while camping for now on & keep the leatherman surge in the truck.
The surge is one heck of a sturdy multitool,but it weighs a ton.

I bought the Champ at the PX in the early 80s & it has been around the world with me,but it's time to retire it to home duties.
Long live the Champ & hail Hercules.
