Just got my new Spartan today , couldn’t pass up the deal , I already have one like it but my question is how many of you would use this SAK or just keep as a collectable ? I’m leaning towards keeping one nice and using one

Is there something on the Spartan that makes it physically different from a regular spartan?
Hooked, like everyone else.
All hail the hook!

Do whatever makes
you
happy.
I would have kept one as a pristine backup and then used it anyway, because knives are supposed to be used.

That series has serial number in the liner behind the corkscrew.

I think i have carried mine twice but i bought it as a collectable so i'm happy for it to sit on the shelf, it will never be a daily user. I am not sure how many were made but it has a 6 digit serial and i bought mine NOS in a shop 5 years after it was made..which kinda says it all really, there are a lot of them but i still love mine and will always treasure it

I would just use that Spartan. The serial number is a bit of a joke - it is a very basic SAK that isn't about to be discontinued anytime soon, and there are millions of them in existence. It is basically useless as an investment, but very useful as a tool.

There's so dang many of this so called "limited" edition, that I don't think it will ever become rare. I still find the things new for just over what a regular Spartan is. Carry it and use it.

From a man who should know, you can never have too many spartans! Counting my spartan lite, I currently have four in my collection. Love every one of them!

Then again, Spartans are so cheap, why not put this up, buy another one for daily use?
What do you have to lose? About $20 for another Spartan.
What do you have to gain? We don't really know yet. I use my knives and tools, but I do try and keep anything sort of special off to the side. For example, I no longer use my Boy Scouts symbol Tinker, because the symbol is metal inlay and not just painted on. They no longer do metal inlay (except the Vic logo) so I don't want to see this one dropped, twisted, or otherwise broken because it is an example of a manufacturing technique that is no longer employed.
