History
The SwissChamp XLT was introduced in the year 2000 shortly after the Cybertool became available. It replaced the much rarer SwissChamp XL model which had only been in production for a couple of years. Whilst the SwissChamp XAVT is rarely carried as an everyday tool, some users do carry the XLT regularly due to its extensive tool capability.
