well seeing that I've been carrying either the Rebar or the Spirit 90% of the last 2 months, and they've done all the things I would use a SAK for, I suppose I'm in.

(Image removed from quote.)

Can we use a folding knife (OHO single blade only) as a compliment to the tool?  :think:
I've never not carried a OHO folder for 4 years now, and I don't think I'm gonna start now.  Especially since I'm on my moonlight phase with the ZT Nix gifted to me :P

If it doesn't fit in the rules then I'm out, but still following with interest.
Otherwise, and if it is OK to you folks, I'm in with the Spirit + Folder for the challenge   :salute:

See Quote Below,  :facepalm:

Try and post as many action/ use shots as possible.  If you have to use another multi because the Spirit is not up to the task tell about it and why.  Oh, don't miss a day, if you do you will be sent to the Naughty Step.   >:D :whistle:

Any other restrictions? Can participants carry a secondary knife or is this a one tool only challenge? I believe the last Spirit challenge did allow dedicated knives so we didn't have to rely on the serrated butter blade for everything. I wouldn't have bothered though if I had the Spirit X with the straight edge blade.

I don't have an X yet.  Hoping to have an XBS after the December drawing.  Even if I do I will still cary a dedicated OHO for boxes etc...  This has always been how I have worked as I find box cutting not to be a propper function of a MT, so yes I am good with a secondary single blade folder.  Now as to the butter blade I realy like mine it's been MODDED and no longer has serations,  my pliers are also modded to be true needle nose.

Assuming the Spirit fits my Maxpedition Micro, I'll have to remove a couple of tools, that the Spirit already has. Not a fan of the combo blade, but hell, it'll be a nice test for it.

Doiglas talked me into it. I'm in!.
The handles are slightly twisted already from hard use, so if I completely break them, I'll send them to Dr. VIC. :tu:
Just know I'll be up poop creek if I tear off a fingernail with this challenge. The SwissTool challenge was tough, because of torn off/damaged fingernails. I'll be carrying a small screwdriver in my front pocket in case I need to extract a tool with messed up finger nails.

Great news, Poncho. I find the Swiss Spirit tools easy to access--and I have brittle nails!

(BTW, the temp here is 5º...without the windchill.)

El Peacent, you better check with Douglas to see if the challenge rules will allow the carry of four (4) hammers......... :rofl:

You're gonna need at least two of those hammers without the big ole' SOG, LM, or Gerber. :rofl:

I think a few of us voted to start a new thread over in the Swiss Army Knights' forum.

I was planning on a new thread but planned on keeping it here in the general discussion so those not familiar with or stuck on another brand would be more likely to BE ASSIMILATED follow the challenge. :assimilate:


Well I pulled the trigger on this

(Image removed from quote.)

So I might be in on the challenge but can we carry a slipjoint as well rather than a OHO folder ?



A couple of people have asked about other knife carry.  I have no problem with any one having what ever they need to get through a day.  Just remember the point of a challenge is to put the tool to use in as many ways as possible and report on its successes and failings.  So before grabing that OHO or Slipjoint give the Spirit a shot.  If the Spirit is not up to it then go for the other knife, tool etc... Get the job done and tell us about it.  Take and post pictures of the fails as well as the victories.
Hope this clears things up a little.

So , Poncho and I are thinking about starting early since he's going to be going on vacation at the end of next month.
Anyone else want to start early like tonight or tomorrow ?
