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

Why don't you just ram the blade into that table...  :D :D
Cause I can't fit a fence in the room... :P

I like the plain edge really good. It turned out good. I had some practice taking the serrations off my OHT and don't really miss point of the blade. I kinda like the sorta sheepfoot look of the blade.

Yet, there is no reason for me to be the only one... ::) The new Spirit is still more expensive than its older brothers when bought from over the pond, but if you factor in the shipping costs and possible customs charges and you take out the VAT, its ~65e sound very reasonable...  :pok: :pok: :pok:

I've been EDCing my Std Spirit in my new job since the 30th of March and I'm really pleased with it . Any reservations I had about it have now gone . It is now my FAVOURITE multitool  :o Don't get me wrong the full size Swisstool still has that special place as an end of the world sh*t hit the fan Multitool but the Spirit has the right combination of size comfort and tool selection that makes it a winner with me for general EDC  :tu: I really like the butter knife blade and anyone who doesn't think its capable should at least give it a try . While I agree its not a perfect rescue blade it is very good around people ( and boats in my case ) , and while most of us pair are multi's with another knife  I can't see the problem and of course theres always the Spirit 'S' or the new model without the butter knife .It can also be sharpened ( sharpmaker for me ) to an unbelievable scary edge .
   I know there are a few members on here who want one and I would be very surprised if they didn't like it .


There was a time my Spirit stayed at home and came second place to my Swisstool but it appears to be the other way round now that I have realised I don't have to save the world everyday  ;)

To go along with everyone else I'll show mine off too. I had mine engraved with my son's birthday, wife's birthday and our anniversary to make it a bit special. And, I must admit to help me remember too.





Here's the pocket clip(thanks again J-sews)

The Spirit really is the best combination of size, light weight and function. Wonderfully strong. Not too big, not too small. Tons and tons of useful tools.

I love it BUT, I can't carry it hence why i'm moving it on  :cry: 
Still waiting for Vic to introduce a non locking Juice type MT.

Hmm, I must be the few who actually like the spirit sheath, takes up the minimum amount of space as possible, and no features that I'll never use (i.e. hold tool in plier open position, which is what made gerber flik's sheath horrible IMO).
The sheath is great, like the old Leatherman style (shame on you Leatherman  >:().

Superb pics mate.  :)

I loved it as well, but am far happier with a full sized swisstool in my pocket (as I have now).  :)

Sorry Benner you've probably answered this elsewhere, do you have a good reason for carrying the SwissTool ? (if asked by a bobby I mean)

In other words, no.  TBH I think all this worrying has got a bit OTT.  I just carry it in sensible places and don't act like a prat when I do so.

And if you don't mind me saying so... about time too!

All this paranoia is contagious, to the point that I started leaving my Charge at home  :o I'm working on the assumption that only an unreasonable copper would confiscate it, and if I get stopped and searched by an unreasonable copper, then they'd probably find a dodgy tail-light or something anyway.

I know I might regret it at some point, but I'm prepared to take my chances.

All this positive talk has made me finally break down and order one. Amazon will be shipping me a spirit s, along with a spyderco sharpmaster.  I was contemplating a blast to rotate on with my wave and skeletool; the spirit shall fill that role instead.  :D
