Have Spartan and Weekender will challenge!  :salute:

Weekender as I understand was the serrated blade version and only was a short time, maybe only a USA  item?  (Unclear/confused) Then the SE blade was new package sold as a SPARTAN.

We could include the Climber, it is a Spartan with extra layer that just so happens includes a “scissors “!

And, then the new Red COMPANION, might fit into the mix?

Corkscrew is required,
AWL is required,
SPEAR POINT main blade is required!
And, scale utensils as well.

Definitely no TINKERS, they have a whole branch of variety.

I am just throwing some thoughts out there.
But can function with just an original SPARTAN  with no problem.
2 layers is about perfect in this package.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Good idea Barry and overdue.

For my money a Spartan (and Tinker to be controversial) two layer challenge would be interesting and a good reminder that all these extra layers are just complications to the idea:
"Keep It Simple - Spartan!"

I think allowing for 84 and 85mm variants could still meet @LoopCutters terms too.

But ... the Climber really does get overlooked too and most people will have one and overlook it in the rush to get an extra tool. A challenge round them would make a change  :cheers:

We could do any combination of the above. The badges would be the tricky part of combining the Climber with the Spartan.  For that matter, we could even have a Climber Challenge.  I'm open to any ideas.  Thanks Gordon and Phil!  :hatsoff:

RED  I blame on Gary, he posted his translucent RED and searched!

THE BLUE is on me, lack of self restraint, saw when searching for the RED.    A CLIMBER  to match my Spartan.
Black SPARTY at normal price hard to find :think:

Whichever decided is ok by me.
Years ago you guys had me searching for a Spartan with a scissors  :facepalm:
Dan- El Corckscrew gifted me one......

SPARTAN Saturday

A Translucent RED arrived this week, my Tech has been handy and I retrieved a SE SPARTAN from my office.

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

I was tempted by GARY’s beautiful picture of his two RUBY REDS, to search for my own.  ☺️

A Blue CLIMBER also arrived. 🙄

The SPARTAN as a 2 layer carries very well and provides great function for my simple life style.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Gentlemen, I'm going to host a Spartan Challenge later this year, and follow that up with a Climber Challenge shortly thereafter.  I'm looking at sometime this Fall, but I have to check out my own calendar  :facepalm:  It's going to be fun!

I agree buddy!  I was always a green fan, but now I have a bunch of blue tools, knives, etc.  It really is calming.

A GREAT CALL to separate the CLIMBER with its own CHALLENGE.

about time  :hatsoff:

Look forward to be able to purposely share these two models as used daily.
