It's the same blade that is on the Spirit S- really nothing new, just a different configuration of existing tools.

I may have a line on some of them, and if I do, a group buy will be arranged.

Check out this image on toolshop.de and this one from messerland.de (I didn't inline them for fear of any copyright issues). How long until they produce a BO version of this beauty?

Def, if I can take part in a group buy, I'm all for it. AFAIK there is no announced BO version of this Spirit variant. OTOH even the existing BO ST looks like a US-only item (no mention of it on victorinox.{com,ch}), while the BO Spirit S (US #53815) is sort-of-a ghost tool... How about a group-buy, followed by a group-BO?  :think:

I was looking at those pics again (and again...) and only just noticed that they've also taken away that little metal nib that prevented the original Spirit scissors from opening all the way...   :tu: Any news on that group buy? :D Toolshop.de and webers-world.com are already selling them ~17% lower than advertized... and the latter will also do some engraving for you...

Yeah i'm also interested in the Swisstool Spirit with spearpoint blade and scissors.
I've been told they exist, i've seen pics on European websites but can't find any north American sellers.
Does anybody know any online dealers who have the Swisstool Spirit with spearpoint blade and scissors?

No info yet, but here's a funny story for you...

At SHOT I found myself talking to the top man in North America about the sites and I mentioned that I had two websites full of members who would love to get their hands on the new Spirit with the scissors and drop point, and he just gave me a confused look!  The head man for all of North America, and who is in direct contact with the Elseners, did not know about the third Spirit model!  :D

Anyways, I will drop him an email today and see if we have made any headway on this!

According to an exchange i had with Swissbianco over on bladeforums he said
"there is no current sak made in swiss that isent avaliable tru +B in usa/canada and the rest of the world".
He also says "they where in my newsletter some time ago and still avaliable".
I just emailed him through his website asking about pricing.
I 'll post the info here when i get it.

That's true. I'd also contacted him some time ago but never got an answer. It was a hard time for +B back then, though, as he was moving to the US and getting prepared for the SHOT show... Let's see what tholiver comes up with now...

On Feb 2nd Swissbianco replied to my email about the Spirit with spearpoint blade and scissors.
He said they were in stock in Switzerland and that he would get back to me on availability.

FWIW the "new" Spirit's have been available in Europe for a long time. They sell for around 80 euros, translating to $100-$105, as do original Spirits as well. I have a couple of German and Swiss eBay sellers that stock them but don't advertise them as such; you can contact them on checkout and ask for the model to be a "3.0224" one. The whole fuss is for these tools to be available through a US dealer, hoping that their price will half, just like with original Spirits...  ::)

Hmmm...maybe I need to BUY one TOMORROW at the Comstock Lode store here in Seoul.  He has some in stock, and I have seen it.  About $89 or so dollars, with leather belt pouch.
