I've got the Spirit! ( All 6 of em... )
on: October 22, 2013, 10:37:20 PM
I was finally able to get my hands on the dutch military BO Spirit S which was the last of the spirits I was looking for to get one of each type.   

:D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D 



In order in the pic below we have... (All the inner tools are the same on all models, so I just extended the unique ones)

Spirit
Spirit X
Spirit S
Spirit RT
BO Spirit X CC
BO Spirit S



Most of my plier heads have the stamped in swiss symbol, but 2 of the newer ones dont.  Notice the BO X has the cap crimper.



I had to do an all tools out pic, but man its easy to cut yourself when doing this... :D



So I'm very happy to have the swisstool spirit family complete.  Next for me is to grab the variations of the big brother full size swisstools. :D

If you dont have a spirit yet, get one! You're missing out!  :tu:

My wife is a total convert.  She EDC's a Spirit and absolutely loves it.  Now of course, she is completely adverse to grease/oil/diesel etc so slippery handles are never an issue for her, BUT, I will admit, it is a fantastic EDC tool.

Best tool ever. I'm building a kitchen at the moment and the Spirit is just insanely useful - from cutting holes in fiber board panelling (butter knife goes through it like a light saber) to wiring to slicing open cartons with the corner of the chisel tool.

And you've got them all. Sweet!

I must say the RT looks slightly less cool than the black ones. Never seen one in person, though.

The black butterknife... The best bit of the best tool ever made. Hard to believe anyone could be daft enough to swap it for a pair of flippin' scissors!

Great collection!

The numbered ones x/199 from the Military series also have the cap crimpers.

I'm not sure either if there's a non CC BO X model out there. :think: If I find one, I'll let you know. :D

Don't worry. The cap crimper is such a silly idea it doesn't really count. There were maybe six professional bomb disposal experts in the whole of Western Europe who said "Yes! At last! A Cap Crimper!" Everyone else was like, what the hell is that? I thought it was a place on the coast of France when I first heard it. "Yes, this year we are 'aving our 'oliday on Cap Crimper..."

Ah there are numbered ones eh.  Thats ok, I swore off any numbered limited edition of alox SAK, so the same rule applies to these for me.

Plus Ive got enough.  I have more than 6 but those are the collection, the others are users.  :D

If memory serves me correctly, the BO Spirit X CC was originally developed for the Swiss Army.

A CC has been used in the US Army since at least the Korean War (excuse me, Korean Police Action) not for bomb disposal but for crimping devises for various explosives. Every infrantryman was taught how to do that.

I really like the build quality and sturdiness of the SwissTools.
However, it drives me mad that there's no version which includes scissors and both the serrated and the plain blade. :ahhh

The SwissTool RS - VT 3.0326 N (called Swisstool II on Victorinox's official site) actually does include scissors and both the serrated and straight-edge blades. The only drawback is that the serrated blade replaces the file, but it does fit the specifications you're looking for. It's a great tool.

Not quite, the serrated blade is more a rescue tool (belt cutter) with a curved blade. It's not the real deal.
