Thanks Douglas and 50ft Trad! the only time I've had to use this tool so far at work is to cut open bags of Ardex for flooring, but I'm planning to really put it through it's paces this weekend It is really nice to carry on the belt though, half the time I forget it's there!
Thanks guys! That Surge is a neat tool Poncho, How do you like it as a work tool?
Add another follower of your 'Spirit'ual challenge. The Spirit is my goto for days off hopping around town. I use the nylon sheath for it, because it is a little bit lower profile than the leather. It is quite capable for a light-medium duty MT. Probably the best MT for average users. The light weight and compact size are my favorite aspects of the Spirit. Sometimes, if I am wearing shorts without a belt, the Spirit is the only MT I have that I trust not to tear up my pocket liner. Although, the price of the Spirit will hurt you in the wallet pocket.

DAY 11 Thanks for following along gerleatherberman! Unfortunately, the price is pretty steep The only reason I have one is because I found it and a pioneer x together, brand new, for $120. I really wanted a pioneer X, and thought the spirit would be neat too. I'm glad I didn't pass this one by! Although, I find myself missing my Center Drive these days

Although, I find myself missing my Center Drive these days The Centre Drive really has won you over hasn't it? It's interesting that some people (including Gerleatherberman) see the Spirit as a lighter duty tool somehow. I think I'd probably subject the Spirit to as much force as I would my Diesel or MP600 and I know it would handle it, yet somehow it seems "proper" to let the MP600 do the grunt work. It's as though the Gerbers (or some of them) are perceived as more of an "all-terrain" tools. Has the Spirit let you down on anything yet, Spartan, or has it risen up to and conquered every challenge?
