Sir Frailer, nice thread
My first SAK was a Tinker and was what a Swiss Army knife meant to me for a long time. I later discovered the compact and was awl about it for awhile and still enjoy it a lot. Over time I've come to prefer the standard openers to the combo tool. The combo tool is great for a lot of tasks but has failed me several times for bottles, screws, and scratching the main blade, much like the nail file. The standard openers serve as a much better prying tools, screw drivers and bottle opener - I admit the combo tool does a good job opening cans. The good ol'Spartan has the reamer punch, useful for so many things. The corkscrew is key for me because I do drink wine and wear glasses and feel a bit more prepared with the mini sd, which I actually use often.
For these reasons I do love the Spartan and own several. Also love the Tourist and the soldier and farmer and cadet and explorer and passenger ... And pretty much every Swiss Army knife

so, I commented on this thread before about how long did it take me to get my first Spartan,
and how cool would it be to give them away to non-SAK people, as an "Introduction" tool
so,
even before I received my new SAKs from the Multitool store (they are still
en route
) I gave away my only Spartan to a friend yesterday,
who is moving out to live together with his new girlfriend (so I bet lots of beer, bottles of wine and parties in the near future for him
)
He didn't have a single SAK, I hope it serves him well and takes him to the right path!!
