Swisstools the different models

[J-sews]

So how about the black swiss tool?    Did it come in all those configurations or just one??

The black beauty is produced only in the standard model layout.

Recap on the SwissTool models, which differ only in the four "long" blades:

STANDARD..............plain knife........saw blade.........serrated knife.........file
SWISSTOOL X.........plain knife........saw blade.........scissors.................file
SWISSTOOL RS........plain knife........saw blade.........scissors................curved rescue blade

SWISSTOOL CS......same exact thing as the X model, but packaged with a removeable corkscrew accessory.

Yep lifes a bit more straight forward with just the 2 models

 My wish:  Swisstool model with the 4 big blades: PE blade, serrated blade, file, and saw (like the standard model) but lose the scraper/crate opener and replace it with a small scissors.  Kinda like a LM Charge.  This shouldn't be too difficult or costly to build.

Maybe you should forward your sugestion to victorinox

That crate opener is damn handy at times though.    I agree though, a Swisstool combining both type of blade, the file and the scissors would be awesome.

one of our new members (bdws1975) showed me something today, Victorinox calls the Spirit, the Swisstool Spirit, isn't that confusing?
it's not another model of the Swisstool, but a whole different animal. Eye's confused

I suppose the way to look at it (and this may only make sense to me  ) is that the Spirit is a different form of the Swisstool rather than a completely new one.

what are the differnet spirit models?
I bought one that was suppose to have the ratchet but when it came it didn't so I bought another. I think i have two of the same tool now.

There are 2 models of Swisstool Spirit, the standard and the 'S' model.  The S doesn't have the scissors but does have a PE blade.

You can also buy a Plus model which has a wrench as well as a 'plus ratchet' model which has a ratchet included.  The Spirit is the same as the standard one though.

That's one thing I don't understand about Victorinox: why go to the trouble of installing an awesome bit kit into the Cybertools, if you're still selling stone age* bit drivers?

I really like the idea of the separate bit drivers.  It's rare that I need any "additions" to a tool and therefore it's handy to be able to leave some at home.

I've never handled a Cybertool. What's so "stone age" about the bit drivers?
