I've forgotten where I've got to in posting, having started a few days late, and I've missed a few days posting though I've been EDC'ing a Spartan until today and pulled out the Delemont Evo 10 for a change to enjoy a russet apple. I may also have used it to open a parcel containing 111mm (coughs...ahem). I might not be able to complete posting through the rest of the challenge (though I'll keep up with Spartan) but it has been good to have everyones company here. Well done Barry for putting this challenge together  :cheers:

It's already day 22! How is that possible?

My classy black Spartan helped me celebrate an exceptional day. I love my job and I love my students but my classroom can get craaaaa-Z! Today, the stars aligned and all were happy and lots of learning took place.

Indeed I do. I'm in St. Clair Shores, MI. One of my previous job sites had a good view of the mess that is traffic on the Ambassador Bridge. And that Wenger Patriot... :drool: Is it blue or green?


Wow that's so close right across the river!  :cheers:

The lighting in the photo wasn't the best, but the patriot is green Alox!

Day 22

Since Meijer seems to have stepped up their Jarritos game, why not open another bottle?

The Meijer I went to earlier today had seven flavors of Jarritos available. The four I consider the best (passionfruit, guava, Mexican cola, and tamarind) were not among them. But grapefruit is a fantastic flavor in its own right.

Day I'm not really sure but maybe 19  :rofl:

Thanks guys, I'll see if I can keep posting if I can get coverage when I'm out. In the meantime keep up the Challenge, the Spartan is an overlooked tool in my book but anything that can help you with a job and then pop you a beer, as you've proven here, is deserves credit.  :tu:

Here in Brazil we call the Spartan Lite a "Snake's foot". Guess why?

Maybe I missed it, but why the term "Snake's foot"?
Best wishes.  Gary

Please tell us how you like that pocket clip.  I have eyed it a few times, thinking it would be practical on a three layer or four, maybe even a five?

Yet many review on the River site were maybe biased!

The Meijer s locations near me on most visits have two or three flavors.

But, a very nice lady on my last visit, told me that most Mexican Groceries (ethnic style) had many more to choose from. 😎

Day 20 for me (perhaps).

I picked up a camo Trailmaster because ... er ... I wanted to see what it was like in the field.

Generally I think camo scales are just a great chance to lose your SAK in the countryside so the Spartan doesn't get much rural time. But the Trailmaster will for a bit. I shall have to keep my eye on it make sure it doesn't sneak off.

^. Bright color lanyards are very practical on the camo models.   

Very nice addition as well!

Is that a Keysmart? I've thought about getting such a thing.

They sure do. I'm not aware of any in my immediate area, but I'll look. Detroit is kinda a pain to visit anymore...and not just because I have to leave the 111mm at home.

Generally I think camo scales are just a great chance to lose your SAK in the countryside...
They do look cool, though. As LoopCutter says, add a brightly colored lanyard to reduce the possibility of loss.

Day 23

Some small blade action: opening a bad of trail mix for a very late breakfast.

The one benefit of eating mango for me, is I find it easier to smile at the world after enjoying some sweet sticky MANGO!  😀
