Just added another knife to my wish list. This is the Nontron Navette No. 68. Made in France, blade length 10 cm, blade steel Sandvik 12C27 stainless. Toolset as on the Spartan.

There are several more traditional European Spartan-like multitools on my wish list
Interesting. I have a no name and a real old SAK with that set up...

Thank you for the compliment Barry.

This morning I had my new TBS Boar on my belt, not my usual Huntsman, and this evening I've gone Black Spartan  :salute:

That's right Phil!

You can see the coating peeling off in a couple spots but the good news is after it's done I'll just be left with regular ruby scales.   :cheers:

Really? Now that's interesting. I didn't realise they had a coating on. I'd always thought they we similar scales to those on the Traveller ? Maybe I was mistaken. Any clues Dan ?

These are called "soft touch"  yeah, just a coating... I'm not sure about the ones you're referring to..  I seek enlightenment.  :D

I see. I'll dig out my Traveller Lite and maybe post something about the scales. I'm just a sucker for jelly red and that old fish scaler  :2tu:

Are you sure it´s a Vic? The cross and shield don´t look right. The shield should have a dent on top, and more importantly, the four arms of the cross should be of equal length, like in the Swiss flag. To identify the knife and its age properly, a close up picture of the tang stamps might help.
