I've done a couple of threads in the past about the Swisstool so I thought I'd start one about the Spirit . I will try and include as many facts as I can and as the thread grows then perhaps you guys may be able to add to it and any gaps we can ask Victorinox direct for info .There are three main models in the Spirit range , these are Std with scissors and blunt tip wavy edge blade ( butter knife as we've come to call it ) Model number 3.0227. ( U.S 53800 ) S model with plain edge blade instead of scissors . Model number 3.0223. ( U.S 53809 ) New model with plain edge blade instead of blunt tipped wavy edge blade .Model number 3.0224 ( Not available in the U.S yet) The 'S' model also comes in black finnish with a model number of 3.0223.3 ( U.S 53815 ) . I'm not 100% certain but I think the last number ( 3 ) designates black finnish .
Dunc, I have a Stainless Steel Spirit S model with the same blades as your black finished model you have shown purchased from Tim(felinevet) a year ... or so ago. My model number is 3.0223.L (53809).Very comfortable to use and with good tool options.Mike

I recently got the Plus model with ratchet kit in leather sheath no. 3.0239L
I had a Spirit and I liked the sheath as well.I much prefered the full sized Swisstool over it though so it never got carried. It seemed such a waste so I sold it.

(Image removed from quote.)spirit w/leatherman clip and serrations removedThe regular leather sheath may be square shaped and bulky but the one that holds the bit wrench/kit and corkscrew is even bigger and sticks out even more on your belt.(Image removed from quote.)It holds everything really nice though and is top notch quality.

Now all I have to do is find some sexy log/post/wire fence and grab some more pics...
