That's the SWISSTOOL SPIRIT S.
That one came out last year,  Amazon added to their stock since last year, I don't remeber what month exactly, but you can see it here:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/103-6663538-8097432?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=swisstool+spirit+s&x=11&y=18

They remove the scissors and added a clip point blade instead.
Enjoy
Enjoy!

Nope this is a different one that simply changes the butter spreading knife for a spear point one, the Spirit S is a different kettle of fish :)

Spirit S is the top one
New Spirit is the bottom one

Just took a screenshot :D Pasted it into Paint and cut out the relevant bit :) But if you have Adobe Reader 8 and you save the document to your computer you can use the Snapshot Tool (in the menu Tools>Select and Zoom) and simply drag the box over what you want to copy :)

That's exactly what I need.  If I had this new Spirit, I might actually stop carrying a SAK!

Yes, you heard that right!  NutSAK without the SAK.  So, I guess I'd just be Nut.  :D

Long time no news on this model... How come this type of long-awaited SAK is available only from a single online vendor (form what I've come to find through hours of google'ing), and for about double the price of mostly any other Spirit on the net?  >:( ???

Ive heard that Swissbiancho has or had some FWIW.

I wish they would make one with a non locking 2.8"blade for our benighted British cousins. Would kick much buttocks.

Mike , many moons ago I lived in the UK . I often toy with the idea of returning for a visit. From what Im hearing its changed lots , and not for the better. When I was there no one gave a toss what ya carried , an if ya went thru a few hoops guns weren't a big problem.

I haven't tried it, but it looks like disabling the locking mechanism would be fairly easy.
One could even do it just for the blades (are locking screwdrivers OK?)
by grinding down the ridge next to the notch that the latch engages on the blades that need to be made non-locking.
That bit is exposed when the knife is closed.
