Title: Spartan Saturday!
Post by: kirk13 on September 19, 2015, 01:21:51 AM
I'm thinking that the humble Spartan maybe doesn't get the love it deserves. So,from now on,til I get bored,or change my mind,I'm going to carry a Spartan every Saturday.

Who's with me?

Remember

I'd be happy to carry a Tourist tomorrow, but there's no way I'm committing to any weekly routines. Life is about variety and adventure, and pocket carry should reflect that. There's enough restrictions in life without me adding new ones  :D

I carry a Pioneer every day, if that counts as a sort of Spartan? :) I tend to see it as my minimum staple, rather than a restriction though.

I don't own a Spartan, I prefer the Camper model for better girth.  :-[

I started out carrying a Spartan as my first SAK many moons ago. However I rapidly discovered that a scissors was one of my most-used tools, and the Spartan vanished from the carry line-up. Instead I carry a Traveler, Super Tinker, or Huntsman; in about that order of popularity.

( Gun shows, what a great country!)

Bumblebee spartan plus has black scales on reverse. That will be Saturday carry.  Along with a tiny set of pliers. 

The other one has deep grooves in the corkscrew and was ridicuously filthy when I got it with brown goop and animal fur everywhere including under the scales

I don't have a Spartan.

But I do have an ugly old tomato red Elinox Standard (Spartan, without T&T)

Like the others, I'm not sure I want to go without scissors, esp. every Saturday, when I typically need an MT the most.

In answer to your original question, I don't have a Spartan but may be the recipient of a Tourist soon. Does that count? If so, I'll gladly do Spartan Saturday (Spaturday?)

If Victorinox made a Spartan in 84mm i would be all over them, as it is i EDC a small Tinker and have reached the conclusion that a corkscrew has more use than the #2 Phillips screwdriver on the back of the Tinker, after all the point on the can opener will do the job and it is in line.

Yeah,I'd count the Tourist,as well as the Standard,and the Wenger equivalent too!

I carry a Spartan most of the time anyway, so setting some weekly routine for that wouldn't make much sense. Not a lot of people like the Spartan, but there are a few of us. :) I'm with 50ft-trad on the philosophical ramifications of variety in EDC.  :tu:

I like the sound of Spartan Saturday, though.  :cheers:

I carry a Tourist a couple days a week. Find it easier on the pocket than a Spartan. If I carry a 91mm it's usually a Climber.

I'm surprised by just how many folks don't have a Spartan.  That said I didn't have one for quite a while myself so perhaps I should hold judgment. :D  Oddly this rather coincides with me thinking I'd not had my yellow Spartan out for a long time.  Need to change that I think.

I have a bunch but they are all packed away in tubs for fire season. I'll try to snag one of mine to carry next Sat.

I just redid all my knife storage because the wildfires have already started in the surrounding counties.

Ok, I'm set. Found one in that pile that came in last week...wood, almost unused! I'll clean it up and tote it next Sat!!

A few new ones and some older Spartans.

Is that a Richard Petty Spartan in the first row in the top pic?

Excuse my slow response but we've been out of town for several weeks.

It is a Richard Petty Spartan.It was on ebay for $25.00 and I offered the seller $20.00 and they accepted my offer.

Just a little family game shoot in Suffolk. It's a good way of encouraging interest and responsible behaviour amongst keen young 'uns. Fortunately the young lady I was mentoring knew what she was doing and was quite safe. Only one lad fell over in the stream and I had a fine morning teasing the shoot captain. I'm sure he'll pay me back. I wasn't called upon to whittle a beaters stick but the Soldier was ready and able  :D

I'm off for a morning in the woods. Given my track record with Spartan Saturday I have made a special effort and obtained something nice and shiny in black. That said I'll be taking my Grizzly Bear along for most of the morning though I'm hoping for more pheasants than grizzlies (pretty confident about the absence of grizzlies, less confident about the former!). The new shiny can help with breakfast arrangements.

That Picknicker seen some hard use,and not a lot of love. It's well known that I'm not a fan of the 111 family,and it started here. Oddly enough,it's not there was anything wrong with it,it just wasn't the 91mm I know and love.

In its service life,the tip of the blade got chipped(not me,one of the muppets that worked for me in Watford) and somewhere along the line,and I really don't know where, the liner on the opener side got bent

I've tried trading it off a few times too. I realised a while back that it deserves an honoured place in my permanent collection, so it got properly resharpend,cleaned and lubed

I bought these three Saturday for under $10 delivered. One goes in my collection the other two get put up for when the next two Grandchildren are old enough.

As SAK collectors we should remember that without the Officers knife we may all have to carry Letterman's. :facepalm:

Just to prove I did more than just remember here's my Silvertech Spartan ready for a wet day in the field. After some indecision I figured this would stand out best on a ploughed field if I lost it. I didn't but it reminded me I must teach the dog to retrieve it. If I get a dog ...  :shrug:

Still going with the Sportsman. I had the Spartan in my hand this morning, almost took it. But the Sportsman already had the pocket clip attached so I took it instead.

Must remember this to begin carrying the Spartan. I got it new plus scales recently. This as made me wonder...

I wasn't expecting to be out in the field yesterday but a late phone call on Friday night  brought an offer I couldn't refuse and a chance to trial my wellyfix. So, a flask of coffee, a hat and a jelly blue Spartan and I was good to go. Kirky woz right though. One damp sock and it was clear my boots were on the smurf list  :surrender:

As I'm new here, and new to this "avocation", I don't have many different SAKs. I don't have many at all as compared to most of you guys/gals. I have been carrying for a long time, and thru different periods of my life.  But as I have been doing my "research" or reading here, to learn more about the modding, and as I looked at the Swiss Knife Valley, and the "root" site in Schwyz, I saw the assembly tooling for the manufacture of the Spartan. et al.  Searching further, I found the pix of Spartan assembly at the Museum, and the U-tube videos of Spartan Assembly in The American Mall, I think, and at the 2011 Shot Show. Verrrrrrry interesting!! I decided right there and then, that I wanted my own Spartan, built in Schwyz. Well, that's an expensive trip, I can't do it right now, and it won't be my first "build". But I will settle for building one, some day, here in the US, on the jig. And if I get rich---who knows! Anyhow, If I ever get to do that, I might like to add my own alox scales, however. Maybe a few other changes, if possible. Anyhow. so this Christmas, this Saturday, and this thread, will remind me of that goal! Thank you guys,Happy Spartan Saturday, and  Merry Christmas!

As I looked very close at the "pins" used, I noticed that they are just  brass nails, made by the millions on a "cold heading" automated machine. Very common here in the US. They are indigenous to our Industrial base, here. I have stood next to the deafaning roar of these machines a few times. This is the first step in the manufacture of screw and bolt fasteners. This must be some of  the "automated tooling" that Mr. Elsener's Dad installed in his factory in the "60s, as listed as a "first" in their historical cronology.

Sooooo, all you hot modders, why don't you all have a run of these "pins" made for yourselves. It would be a good little product for this site to support itself thru the EDC Source sales. so let's all network together and get a run of these made!!  Spread them around among yourselves. As for the bushings, I'm still thinking about that!!The sale of those two items, could probably contribute greatly to this site. Buy 'em  for a penny apiece, and sell a 3-pair set for $$$$whatever. You could cold head the back spring pins, also. From what I read, the different knife sizes have different pin and bushing sizes, this can all be done. Then we could have a "bin" of the critical modder parts!!  The trick for "economy" or the economy of scale, would be to find someone somewhere, (possibly even @ the Vic factory) Hint, Hint  :pok:, who already has existing tooling, and skip or minimize the small tooling costs. Maybe one of you out there is already in the business, or next to the business. I have lost  my contacts in this by now. Merry Christmas!!

But to take this one step further......And to facillitate a modular type knife.....

I've noticed that there is (personal?)variation in the "pin" and "bushing" parts, among the top modders. I do not have a handle on this yet. Info is mum, I think. Anyhow, here's what I'd like to see: Pivot barrels,  threaded completely thru the inside, also with other threads just on the ends, outside.  Using the outside end threads, to hold the SAK layers together. with  threaded bushings as "nuts".  Make these threaded bushings or "nuts", to the same, present, stock, smooth outside dimensions, and with 2 outside flats for "wrench" purchase. The two bushings, on the outside of the pivot barrel, would hold the knife layers together. The end  inside threads of the pivot bushing. would hold the alox scales on, with torx screws. This  is what I prefer. (The material is variable) Or, the outside of the bushing nuts, which would be smooth like the original bushings, would be able to accept the original cellidor or nylon scales, exactly as they are, in a stock SAK. No one would know, with a cursory look,  in this last configuration, if the SAK was modded or stock, without taking the scales off. I could draw this easily. Or take a picture. I have a picture, which I am trying to describe. I see fasteners almost like these, just on the knife kits sites, with only about 30 minutes of research. What I want, may already exist.  I suppose the knife kit sites would easily understand this, and make them for SAKs across the board.   Merry Christmas!

I might also like to see the dia of the pivots increased. but that would require drilling of all the SAK layers. This could easily be done, drilling out one larger thru hole, thru an assembled knife (minus scales), with 2 stock pins still installed and holding the knife layers together. Can you imagine a 2.5mm-4mm reamer? In other words, these "new" type threaded pivot barrels, and threaded bushing nuts, could be installed, without taking the knife layers apart! And from there, those of us that wanted to, could go Modular!! Or Ballistic!!      :climber:

As I said previously, Brake for commas, it's easier to read and understand. Or, as suggested, just wait for the pix!

Also, my last extended "rant" or diatribe, or description,  on SAK clips, ended the next day, with two different executions of SAK pocket clips.(I couldn't wait for my Spyderco clips.). They are unlike what I alluded to, and novel and unique, as far as my research shows. Both are totally functional, one is less than aesthetic. I am now putting them thru Will's "pre-use abuse".  I am much less than fluent with pix on computers, than I am with words, IMHO! I do know, that "one pic, is worth a thousand words", and I would add that "One 'DO' is worth an infinite amount of pix and words." And, I like these clips so well, that I hesitate to send them into public domain. I will show them in person. You all may think that I am a nubie, and that I have no experience here, and that I am full  of feces, but I am not new to design, or to new product development. The SAK is just another "vehicle' for my 'fertile' mind. Or maybe it's my 'fecal' mind!?!     :o
                                                   Happy Hollidays!     Thanx    Oclip      :salute:

Trying out the SE Spartan  for a test drive

To be fair it's a SwissTool mod so it's not 100% Vic but nice nonetheless

It's Saturday isn't it? Oooh. I'm gonna face the same moral Saturday dilemma as last week. And the week before. My black Swisschamp looks like an expectant puppy and never mind my new Huntsman which might actually be handy out in the field. Oh no, all that would be weakness. No. I must think Spartan.

At this rate I'm going to end up loaded down with cutlery and clanking my way round the fen ... :ahhh

What Spydie is that?

Its called the Chokwe and is one of the ethnic inspired knives. Named after a tribe in N-Angola/Congo that have traditionally used knives of this shape.
Its a Ti frame lock in S30V, nothing primitive about it.

Yeah...I agree.  I remember sitting in Reston, VA bar for dinner in the mid-90's, and a guy telling us that he was selling ad space on the internet for a start-up.  We looked at him like he was nuts...little did we know at the time!   :ahhh    :ahhh

At the time, Netscape (one of my customers) was at the top of the heap waiting for the 800lb gorilla (ie, Microsoft or AOL) to sit on them...which happened.

Funny how time tells us the story.  It's my favorite coffee cup, so I still use it, though I'm deeply immersed in the 2016 e-world.

And the Spartan in this picture, sits in my home-office desk drawer...used as needed...in this case to open a package containing my latest eBay purchase.

The Sportsman is a great knife. I have one as well in EcoLine scales. This knives lived in my desk drawer at work for about ten years and it came in handy rather frequently.

But I retired it several years ago. It go replaced by a Classic. Its main duty was removing staples from papers. But the SD on a Classic also works fine on this.

Was just thinking how nice it would look with scrollwork engraving like they do on guns, but the stainless steel is probably too hard for hand engraving.  :)

I think it is a "Hostel" emblem. I didn't recognize it when I bought it, but I found the same logo on a site Google steered me to that was about hostels in Europe. If someone knows better, I'd love to hear more...

Today's Spartan that was once a Tinker, swapping its Phillips with a Waiter's corkscrew (to also create an Apprentice). Put black scales on it to replace badly scarred red ones.

Crikey... now I'm trying to figure out just how they ended up doing scales on a Spartan. Perhaps the marketing budget wouldn't stretch to freebie lightsabers ? :think:

I hope that your knife will not become fluorescent !

Two-tone models (Gold/Silver) are very hard to find, they are no longer manufactured, except 2 or 3...

I prefer the engravings of historical events of Switzerland or Swiss folk scenes, but the other engravings are also very beautiful.  It depends on what you like...

And the man who was admiring them.....moi!   :hatsoff:

Robert MOIX is a Swiss citizen who lives in the Canton of Wallis, and he's my friend.
He's first a collector of Soldiers knife of the Swiss Army, but he owns also lot of "special swiss knives" like carved Swiss knives or Swiss knives made for foreign armies or strange knives made by Victorinox or Wenger.

The SPARTAN -"PONTIFICAL SWISS GUARD OF THE VATICAN" is the last knife of this Army (special corps of the Swiss Army), but I know other former models also exist.

The series of "CARVED SPARTAN" : knives are made by Victorinox, but the scales are produced by an old Swiss Craftsman in a Art Foundry. First he worked for several watch industries, he produced lot of pocket watch cases like this one :

(http://i35.servimg.com/u/f35/12/24/75/57/sans_t11.jpg)

Next, he wanted to produce scales for Wenger, but it was not possible (I don't know why), so he made scales for Victorinox...

This is the history I know, I have no more details.

Strictly speaking yes, that was the name back then. Notice no T&T, but Spartan is the general term most folks use to cover this pattern.

The early ones did not, but had a bail when others of the era did not. There's some pics on the wiki of the actual catalog.  :)

It is. Remarkably detailed about all of the members of the 1920's expedition and their formative experiences in WW1. In one sense heavy going but really does put into perspective their achievements at and beyond the limits.

 With help from Lowtech on knife, and WoodMan's laser cut walnut scales, I sent this off to a half-sister that I've not seen since I was a teenager. Reconnected with my 3 half-sisters (kind of) through an obituary of biological mother. Sent a request to the cemetary to give my contact data to the surviving daughters. Soon had reconnected with them on Facebook. Saw one about a year later, she came down to see me so gave her my Juice XE6 that I won from a Leatherman Halloween Pumpkin contest.

  So when I got this Spartan donation from Lowtech, and idea formed. WoodMan came to the rescue, and it went back east to that biker half-sister of mine.

Jelly Red Spartan yesterday and a fascinating read about Everest and Mallory

Looks like a great book!

It is. Remarkably detailed about all of the members of the 1920's expedition and their formative experiences in WW1. In one sense heavy going but really does put into perspective their achievements at and beyond the limits.

Sounds really interesting!!!!  :cheers:

Really great pix of beautiful carries guys!

Had storms last night and hoping they stay non severe today. The cold front that came in yesterday afternoon kicked off storms with 50 mph winds and sparked 4-5 grassfires with lightning strikes. We got 1 3/4" inches in a couple of hours.

Cautiously optimistic with the Sportsman today.

Nice pic James and good luck on the Bay Spartan!

Thanks and here it is, delivered today. Nothing crazy. It's just Gumby green and I like the color. Tools are clean and new (minor nick in blade shouldn't take to much to remove), gleaming corkscrew. But scales could stand a buff.

Some years ago, my youngest brother was in charge of PR at a company specialized in the breeding of grass and other seeds.

One day, the local newspaper printed an article about a scientific breakthrough they'd achieved: together with a Japanese gene technology firm they had developed a new kind of grass that was entirely white. This meant the end of chalk lines on sports fields. People were invited to come and have a look and sure enough, it drew a lot of attention. Unfortunately there wasn't a single white stalk to be seen. It was April Fool's Day, of course.

Anyhow, my brother was a great source of advertising Spartans at the time. Here they are, together with my other Spartans.

They are by one company. Cebeco was its name when my brother started, Nutriseed is one of their product ranges. In 2003, the Danish company DLF took over and the name changed to InnoSeeds. The InnoSeeds logo was designed by my brother. The company moved away from its home in Vlijmen shortly after and my brother found another job. In 2015, InnoSeeds was renamed DLF.

To be honest most days of the week I don't need more than a Classic so I find Spartan Saturday quite frustrating at times. Especially when I really feel I ought to carry a good honest Climber more often. This whole conscience thing eh ? Tut .... :facepalm:

It is not a bright light....it is a , works and works in a pinch type light, IMPO :think: :tu:

Ok. That's enough confessional. The Huntsman came in handy at lunch to spread game pate on a few cream crackers. Strictly I didn't need the saw for that and a Spartan would've done admirably but there was a good conversation about pocket knives comparing with a friends Laguiole.

Picnic aside it's been a murky old day round here so the Hudsons Bay Company is going to brighten my evening together with some Conan Doyle.

Some nice ones.   I really need to get on the ball and buy one.  I'm  eyeing a white one with advertising for the General Dynamics TOW missile, with a TOW missile printed as the shield.

Post by: NorCalJim on January 22, 2017, 01:38:03 AM
I picked up a Spartan on the secondary market that was advertised in excellent condition.  Unfortunately, the seller overlooked the tiny bend on the tip of the small blade.  My first SAK purchase was a Tinker followed by a Super Tinker since I preferred the philips driver to the cork screw.  Eventually, I discovered the Explorer and made friends with the cork screw (not hard to do with an inline Philips driver).  I picked up the Spartan because I thought that I should have a sample of the three key 91mm 2 layer base models (Spartan, Tinker & Compact).

With the bent small knife tip, Mr. Spartan has volunteered to pry off scales needing replacement in perpetuity! 

Spartan Saturday seemed like the perfect time to announce this new honor.   :)

Heck yeah, works even better on the red ones I think.  I've been trying my hand at sanding down and refinishing some of my more loved SAKs, with pretty good results.  I think I need another grade of sandpaper or two between 600  and 1500 to get out those fine scratches, at any rate, the headlight stuff does a good job of just giving it a nice shine with very little effort.   :cheers:

I started out my SAK journey with a two-layer Wenger in the eighties. That was a constant companion for many years. Then I discovered the Victorinox small Tinker, I got that, and felt it was a huge improvement. Small blade instead of nail file, no gimmicky locking screwdriver (which over the years will be filled with gunk and thus stop working reliably as an actual lock), an extra screwdriver in the can opener, no useless corkscrew. I was happy, but didn't know I was on my way down the rabbit hole. Some time later, I dropped my Tinker on a concrete floor, damaging the Cellidor. So I started shopping around for replacement scales. I think that was the breaking point where I started actually collecting SAKs. I replaced the scales on the Tinker, but now I had started buying knives from speSmurfpillst stores.

I started carrying many different kinds of SAKs. I am not a true minimalist, but I like avoiding stuff I rarely use. I tried the Bantan and Waiter, but didn't like the way the combo tool feels when using the blade. I tried the Recruit, but didn't like the sound (yes, really) of the hollow scales when there is a pin less. I had started favoring the corkscrew as I grew older, since I grew disenchanted with the short, back-mounted Philips, so the Tourist was next, but the 6 extra mm of the Spartan makes it feel very much more comfortable in my hand. I have also tried larger knives, but the Spartan has everything I really want in an EDC. I have carried alox, but I start missing the tweezers and the small blade.The small blade is the single most used tool on any of my SAKs. With the Pocket Pal/Secretary/Sentry/etc family of 84 mm, I miss out on tweezers again and anything to poke and pry with.  So there you are. About three decades and a triple digit number of SAKs later, and I have moved from a Wenger Commander (I think) to a Victorinox Spartan. I have told this story before, but I find it an enjoyable example of TS Eliot's poem of discovering the world only to understand your origins. ;)

No, I'm not a member of the SAKMC, expecially since I want to rotate between my Spartans too. When I travel, I usually opt for a knife with a few tools extra too (or pair a Spartan with something else, like a Classic).

Great story Steinar!  You're right about that journey.  The minimalist challenge I'm doing right now has confirmed what I knew:  I really only use three tools consistently, the small blade, can opener/screwdriver and the cap lifter/screwdriver.  I'd say the awl takes fourth place.  As in other challenges, I find I don't even miss the scissors.  If I didn't love the SI so much I'd probably join the SAKMC!

It's the tales why people carry their SAKs that do tell you a few worthwhile truths. I like Spartan Saturday for the very reason I couldn't resist variety but it forces me to take things back to basics once a week .... Swisschamp Sunday is almost an overload in compensation !

+1 to this. It's the one thing that nags me about Spartan Saturday. But I cope and it's proves what a great and versatile tool the Spartan is. Mind you a bit like the prodigal son it's great to pick up a Climber and know you've got scissors again.   :clap:

Good idea Barry - but Sunday is a pretty good day to EDC a Swisschamp and, for me, use it ... it'd have a dull old time most weekdays in my office !

So, to help bring you smoothly from one simple toolset to a complex one without tripping out your excitement fuses  .... what would that ideal transition SAK be ?  :think:

Yes, spanning Victoria to Elizabeth II (IIRC) from across the British Comonwealth (incl., Australia, Canada, India and lots of smaller countries from the Caribbean/Africa.   I used to be an avid collector concentrating mostly on Pre Decimal coinage. Nothing super rare but a pretty good coverage of the Commonwealth. I love the designs and themes. I'll try to work some pennies into next Saturday's pic (if I don't forget).

QE2 Spartan today.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz256/SAKGuy/QE2%202-25-17_zpsh8wwh0pb.jpg)

Very Respectable Robert. You could do with a Sovereign by the look of that loose change  :salute:

Thanks Bill I would love to add one to the collection but they are a little pricey.  :D

Too true. Got any old pennies in there ?

Yes, spanning Victoria to Elizabeth II (IIRC) from across the British Comonwealth (incl., Australia, Canada, India and lots of smaller countries from the Caribbean/Africa.   I used to be an avid collector concentrating mostly on Pre Decimal coinage. Nothing super rare but a pretty good coverage of the Commonwealth. I love the designs and themes. I'll try to work some pennies into next Saturday's pic (if I don't forget).

Top plan that. I'll see what I can do too. I don't collect but I've a pot of old pennies etc for family games  :cheers:

Great knives!!!!  :drool: :drool: Sounds like a fun day!!!  I used to bowhunt back in the day....first with 50 pound Bear recurves, then compound bows....have wanted a longbow for a while but my RA makes it doubtful if I would enjoy using one! Still have a PSE compound in a closet somewhere.

Now that's being well and truly prepared El C  :cheers:


Thanks Phil!  It's TOTALLY NORMAL to carry three knives.    Honestly, I worry about damaging the serrations on the Weekender so if anything heavy-duty presents itself, the SI will step in.   :D :cheers:

And lets face it. There is nothing worse than not being able to lift the cap on a bottle of beer when you need to  :tu:

Well, here you are Barry, my Silvertech Spartan about to spread some peanut butter / abominable concoction for my Saturday lunch.

Interestingly it didn't corrode the blade too badly ... I was so surprised I even took it to work today in my sandwiches.

So, I blame Barry  :twak:

I didn't have one until El Corkscrew's giveaway last week.  I've been carrying it a lot lately.  The Spartan is lightweight, but still has plenty.  The corkscrew has lots of uses.  The Phillips only as intended on currentmodels.   And even if it's old enough to have a can key--there's only two canned goods in grocery stores that need them around here, and they're both corned beef (which ain't bad, by the way).

Derail a thread here? No! Say it ain't so!

I've a few Tourists,ranging from brand new to pre 72 with clip point blades...yeah,I do rather like them! Despite identical tool sets,it does feel distinct to a Spartan or a 85mm Wenger

FB,I haven't got past the introduction yet,but I've already done parts of the Wiltshire ridgeway,so Neolithic there;parts of the Pilgrams Way in Surrey,Sussex,and a bit in Kent,so Neolithic there too;Stane St in Surrey,Roman;and a local drove road(well part there of) also here in Surrey.

There's bits and bobs in the book in Kent that look good,as well as some in Wiltshire I'd not been aware of. I'm planning two more legs of the North Downs Way(Pilgrams Way) from Dorking to Guildford,and then Guildford to Farnham before the winter hits.

Liked my 84mm Tourist so much, I had to get a Spartan, with Plus scales.

Personally, I think it should be the Spartan/Sportsman Saturday.  My Spartans are all shelf-queens as I find there's no reason to accumulate these other than they are the most popular model for distinctive scales and private production runs. And I thank Beat for the coolest Spartan I've put my hands on...

Excellent.  The Cub is a really characterful workhorse but it just seems odd to solo it from the backseat. Rather feel Aeronca made a more civilised effort in the Champ but anything with a little wheel at the back is good  :tu: :tu:

Good Morning All you Spartan Saturdaynauts !

I'm off down to our fen today to do some clearing of scrub and hauling of fallen logs out of the stream that runs though it. Hopefully we can get it to drain a bit better.

So, as I'm in the Chuck Yeager challenge here's my Silvertech Spartan, erm, paperweight and Ambassador. Neither will be coming with me as I don't want to feed them to the fen

Definitely! I had no intention of owning any 84mm SAKs but an e-bay seller mistakenly described it as a Spartan.  I didn't want the hassle of a return and rather liked the blue scaled Tourist. I guess I will have to find my Spartan.

This topic thread that usually recurs each Saturday has me wanting to up my Spartan game. I had a single Spartan that I misplaced for a week or two and purchased what was described as a blue scale Spartan that was actually a Tourist. I am very happy with that purchase and went back to look for another true Spartan. It arrived this week but had a bent tip on the main blade.

This topic thread that usually recurs each Saturday has me wanting to up my Spartan game. I had a single Spartan that I misplaced for a week or two and purchased what was described as a blue scale Spartan that was actually a Tourist. I am very happy with that purchase and went back to look for another true Spartan. It arrived this week but had a bent tip on the main blade. Meanwhile, I had purchased a Standard in wonderful condition. Yesterday, I purchased another used Spartan in like new condition and will probably get a SilverTech Spartan from Amazon.

Meanwhile, here is the Tourist, my original Spartan and a Standard...

The white one i posted yesterday has a locomotive imprint on the front, i'm just curious if anyone here knows anything about it. Did Vic just churn out knives with random stuff printed on the scales or or was this done for any particular reason, for a club, group or company? in fact is it a representation of a real loco in service somewhere? would be grateful for any info  :salute:

I know they do a LOT of different variations... for awl kinds of things.  Doesn't seem like Vic says no to much...  I've been seeing a lot of German skyline prints showing up lately.  I don't know who is commissioning them..  :think:

I suspect it is local knife shops commissioning the skyline prints. When I bought my Marienplatz knife, the lady behind the counter was keen to tell me the knife could only be bought in that shop.

Just added another knife to my wish list. This is the Nontron Navette No. 68. Made in France, blade length 10 cm, blade steel Sandvik 12C27 stainless. Toolset as on the Spartan.

There are several more traditional European Spartan-like multitools on my wish list
Interesting. I have a no name and a real old SAK with that set up...

Are you sure it´s a Vic? The cross and shield don´t look right. The shield should have a dent on top, and more importantly, the four arms of the cross should be of equal length, like in the Swiss flag. To identify the knife and its age properly, a close up picture of the tang stamps might help.

Well I like the serrated blade enough that I have several. It´s good for cutting bread and fibrous materials like rope.

I got mine as part of a set (stock nr. 4.2431) that includes a fork and a spoon. To the best of my knowledge they were never available separately. Initially it had white scales but I moved these onto another Spartan.

Vic serrations are very shallow which make them very versatile.  I'm having trouble trying to think of something they couldn't cut as well as a PE blade.  I haven't tried the serrations for whittling/shaving wood.  Might not be great at that.  I touched up the ones on this Spartan with my Sharpmaker and it will slice paper.

We´re not allowed to take these, bird hunting is severely restricted around here. Ringdove, pheasant, mallard and a few geese is all. I like partridges but their number is dwindling fast.

I like Partridges too. The English Partridge is slowly recovering in places around East Anglia which is good. We leave them and they're impressive little birds whenever you see them. Large scale agriculture hasn't helped but there's much better awareness these days and a lot more effort is doing little things that help.

Great job Bill!!  Our ringneck  and woodcock  populations are both down due mainly to the rise of our fix population.  I used to release stocked pheasants when I was a boy, and can't think of a more beautiful bird!  I absolutely love bird hunting!  I have to ask: what shotgun do you use?

Until recently I've usually taken a 12b o/u out with me but I'm trying 20b though I clearly need more practice. Strictly I need more practice anyway. And to be honest I think I make a better beater. In my younger days I helped a bit with the gamekeeping on a friends family shoot and came to appreciate wildlife so much more than many people I meet in daily life. Funny that. What's your preference ?

I've carried mostly 16b over the years, namely my Dad's old single shot.  I picked up a nice lightweight 12b pump, but just can't warm up to it.  I'm looking for either a 16 or 20b double.  I find myself really appreciating a light shotgun anymore.

I used to work with a chap who had a 16b and reckoned it was the sweet spot between 12 and 20. Be interested to hear how you get on if you find one.

But I'm I'm a fan of those jelly scales so you're winning even if you just put the bins out. I don't have an alox Classic ... yet ... and there's a few other things on my wish list first .... and that Silvertech Spartan was my first Spartan so it's a favourite with me too

It's the original, classic officer's knife.  The one that's so good it's included with the majority of SAKs.   So much utility packed in to two pocketable layers...

I like how the Spartan pairs nicely with a Classic for a good tool set without Chunky Pocket Syndrome.

The sword Excalibur was a little smaller than King Arthur had expected, but it had a corkscrew and a cap-lifter, which made him very popular with the knights of the round table.

Here's the Spartan I'd been waiting for, best I can tell this is '69 - due to lack of scraper on the cap lifter. jazzbass mentioned that 69 was the only year in the 60's that Vic tried the new cap lifter.  This one is great and awl but I really want a pre-'61  >:D

I never posted in this thread before, but today

when I got home I tried to look for a proper slip/sheath for the PX and pocket carrying it, and I found an old SAK inside one of the first sheaths I had, that I didn't even remember about   :ahhh

The one and only Spartan I have,

and after swapping the side and reading what it has engraved I remembered why I didn't carry it that often, or show it to others    :D

Marmite. It summary it’s a yeast based savoury assault course for your taste buds. In small layers quite innocuous but with a hint of bite. Lather on a bit too much and the warning sirens will sound. Immediately! Better than vegemite imho

I don't want to niggle there Nix but I think to be fair you should've been up front with how much you spread on your sandwich. Or would I need a micrometer ?

Nice Spartan by the way but don't think you're off the hook. There's awl to play for here. Frankly I'm inclined to start a thread for SAKs and Marmite/Vegemite... leave it with me.

So today I've been fortified with Marmite and been sorting things out down at the fen. Silvertech Spartan just in case I mislay it.


Title: Re: Spartan Saturday!
Post by: Nix on March 24, 2018, 06:35:58 PM
Like that Silvertech!

(And with Vegemite, a little goes a long way. That was about 3/4 tsp, well spread with the Spartan, and absorbed by all the nooks and crannies. In fairness, I probably could have gone a bit heavier on the Vegemite, but for beginners, I wouldn't want to advise too much, too quickly.  ;))

So we can say Spartan Saturday?   :whistle:
Personally, I like the 91mm size.
Title: Re: Spartan Saturday!
Post by: Thunderpants on April 01, 2018, 01:22:34 AM
I was wondering yesterday why I have 3 Spartans and no Tourists. I suspect it's the knowledge that 91mm scales are easily interchanged... I bought my orange Spartan hoping to transplant the scales (to what, I never decided - so to this day they're still on that Spartan.)  Without that intention I'd definitely not have bought a 3rd Spartan.
Title: Re: Spartan Saturday!
Post by: Steinar on April 01, 2018, 01:38:55 AM
I prefer 91 mm over 84 mm since I think pocketability is very similar, but 91 mm is noticeably more comfortable to handle. A lot of people feel the other way around. :)

(91 mm is also slightly stronger, with thicker pins, but I have never had any problems with either 84 or 91 mm there.)
Title: Re: Spartan Saturday!
Post by: Nix on April 01, 2018, 01:54:48 AM
I agree with Steinar.

I find the 91mm slightly more comfortable to use. The 84mm SAK's do carry slightly better.

And I'm a fan of bigger blades. You can just do more, more easily, with a 111mm than a 91mm or an 84mm.  Much more? No, not really. But there are times when a slightly larger blade has an advantage (with in reason).

That being said, I love the Sportsman Barry sent me.  Easy to carry and hugely functional.

I've never been satisfied with the lanyard on this Spartan. Today it got the angle grinder treatment....

(https://i.imgur.com/16ljmCy.jpg)

And that's why I like the older Tourists, they're more comfortable to carry and use due to no lanyard ring. Vic should never have changed the Tourist to have a keyring attachment. They don't have scale tools, but I am usually carrying a Classic for the scissors, so that doesn't bother me.

Those are nice scales--who was it made for?

Post by: El Corkscrew on April 01, 2018, 03:11:30 AM
Plus scales are important to me, tons more scale variations,  also like the longer tools, especially the caplifter...  but I do like the 84mm size.   Lately I've been choosing the cadet over the Tourist.   :cheers:

I got a tinker that is basically a Spartan 84 mm but with Phillips instead of corkscrew. Love it but since I got a red cadet it's a no-competition. It's so solid and still only 0.8 mm / 0.6 inch thick!

I might well include a pic of my cadet and ofc today's carry: Spartan silver thingie!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180401/ecbb3546f72edd9f85c182f589504048.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180401/05a0734d8c0438aab13797daf62e746b.jpg)

No worries Dan. There's a healthy tradition in the thread that it's the toolset that really counts.

I have been lurking here for ages and decided it was well past time I joined.  This seems like the proper place for my first contribution.  I am not a collector.  However, I have had a fascination with Switzerland and Victorinox knives since I was a youngster.  For a long time I settled on the "61" pattern Soldier. I had one in my pocket at all times. Gave many as gifts.  That is until they discontinued it in 2008.  Shortly after that the knives became too collectible for me to carry for fear of losing or breaking one. The prices shot up and I retired them, and when the prices got to where I could not resist, I sold them. I could have just switched to the Pioneer, but decided it was time for a change. I tried various models, but found the 84mm too small, and the 3 layer and up too thick. The choice came down to the Spartan or the Tinker, and I chose the Spartan. I grind the key ring stud off, add a mini screwdriver to the corkscrew and a straight pin. Handy for glasses and cheap Casio watch wearers like myself.  I have come to like the Spartan just as much as the old Soldier.  Maybe even more.  The cellidor scales have a warmer feel to them.  There are a half-dozen squirreled away around here.  Paired with a Classic on my keyring and all bases are covered. Oh, and for me they must all have red cellidor scales. I am old fashioned that way.  Although, if I could find one in stag I might go for it.

By the way, how do I insert an image?  When I click on the binocular button it inserts img in brackets twice the second with / before img.

Welcome! If you want to upload an image, press "Attachments and other options" below the text editing box, and you get a menu for uploading from your desktop. If you want link to an image on an external URL, use the img tag you have already found. ("[ img]https://something.org/something.png[/img]", but obviously removing the space I used to break the tag. :-) )

I'm in lol, although mine is just a standard red :( I do love it. Only thing missing for me is scissors, but I also carry my classic on my key ring so that's kinda taken care of. I always research stuff deeply before buying so I never experience buyer's guilt.
The Spartan was really the one for me, smaller, lighter than other serious SAKs and I actually find myself using the can opener frequently even in my urban setting. It rocks. But I wish it wasn't red :P
The only tool I never use is the awl. But I still kinda like that it's there. When do you guys use the awl, out of curiosity?

Edit: I really like all the pics with string/rope attached to the keyring. Though it seems to me like my 550 paracord is way too large for this purpose. And it's an ugly bright orange :P

Don't feel bad that your Spartan is classic red (not at least if you just hate red and really wanted other color that is)...  :-\
I have an obsession with the classic red's since early childhood (over 40 years ago...  :facepalm:), of the about 40 Sak's i have, 96% of them are classic red. For me it just have to be, even tho i like the other colors, it just dosn't really feel quite like a Sak to me if they are not red. Can't explain it, but it's just that way for me...  :facepalm:
The only color i'd maybe consider EDC other than red are the white ones, as i like them a lot too. Must get a hold of some white scales...  :think:

I love the awl, a sak feels incomplete to me without one. I use it to make/poke holes on stuff basicaly. It's just like a little dril bit if used properly. I make extra holes on my leather belts with them all the time  :D

ohh don't get me wrong... i have plenty of other spartans, but all after 2000

My first one was an 80's one, fluted corckscrew, solid scales, and bought by my dad. Lot's of stories...
It's not really "lost" per se.... It was on a tool box i had at the time, i was kind of "dating" this girl and took my tool box to her place one time to help her renovate her room, and left it there. But mean while things didn't work out for us, and we kind of lost touch. Also it wouldn't be very polite of me to bang on her door like 10 years later asking for my tools back too, when i could had done it a lot sooner....  :facepalm:
She got married and had kids meanwhile, hey maybe her hubby ended up carrying it and got addicted to sak's too, who knows, right...? You now... spread the love, and all...  :climber:

Well... in my case it's really the "plastic" type....  :facepalm:   But TP is right about the actual plant it imitates  :iagree:
I gave up on real cactus in the house since i have my "girl" (cat), cause she kind of wreck'd all the real ones i had....  :twak:  and even tries to chew on these plastic ones now and again, when her stock of fresh grass is running dry....  :facepalm:

Well that is nice as is but if you give it some oil, you might make it to nice to take out!  :like: :hatsoff:
Would that be called Fancy walnut...because that was my first thought. I have seen a few rifle and shotgun stocks with that range of colors, cream to black.

Heck I had smaller in the day. I just bought this one. $25 refurb. I don't do smartphones. I had a Nokia C2-01 for years but it didn't work with my cars bluetooth. This one does.

I just cut up an apple with my Spartan. Man but that blade is perfect! Perfect thickness and length for apples. I'm used to Pioneer blades which although great, aren't quite as good as this thinner one.

Correct, Tinker, I like the Spartan corkscrew as it can hold an additional mini-screwdriver! And I think the serrated Spartan is called something else.
The Climber is a Spartan with a scizzors, a nice addition.   :cheers:

Nice teal color!  That seems like a color not seen too often. I think there's a translucent teal as well;  I recall seeing it on a Climber advertising a medical equipment maker; sadly it's the only one I ever saw before, and didn't save the photo.    I've been thinking about starting to collect those related to Swiss emergency services; and I see a ton of Vics and Wengers for the various cantonal police agencies.

Nice teal color!  That seems like a color not seen too often. I think there's a translucent teal as well;  I recall seeing it on a Climber advertising a medical equipment maker; sadly it's the only one I ever saw before, and didn't save the photo.
Interesting, a translucent teal.  :tu:

I suggested it as my new SAK and started the Climber one... a change in gear means I can't post daily pics as required by the rules, as explained by Zoid...
I could still change my avi daily but I would rather change SAKs than challenge, until I get my photo act together.

I have three Spartans. I’ll have to arrange a family photo at some point!

One is mine originally and what I call “new”, i.e. post-2000.

The others are older, and inherited from my father and a great uncle on my mother’s side.

I have yet to date them, but they both predate scale tools.

Curious...does anyone else have the Bayern Bavaria special edition Spartan?

I have one a d compared with pics on the net. The Vic symbol is on the corkscrew-side scale because the Bavarian coat of arms is on the other side. But I noticed in some pics on the internet, the Vic symbol is difficult to see in between the blue and white because it is either the inlay or possibly printed...mine seems different. The Vic symbol is printed on the cellidor, ouined in white, blue fill, white cross. Dont know which design is newer...

Anyway, does anyone else have one at all?

It's Sunday, but I decided I'd start carrying the REI-exclusive Serrated Spartan (aka Weekender) a bit more. That serrated blade is just as good as the 111mm version, but I will complain about one thing--the serrations make the tip a bit weak. I tweaked the main blade a tiny bit when sticking it into an old (soft) wooden post for a pic here sometime ago.

Very true Ray. I'm not sure I get the logic of Navy camo but not to worry it's a great Huntsman variation.

And I have just remembered I don't have a Weekender ... but I don't think I've seen one this side of the pond.

So, having missed Saturday .... been carrying my Swiss Spirit Evolution 10 with walnut scales today. I love the engraving but do miss T&T. Fortunately it came with mini screwdriver. And the Evolution has been accepted here before so I make no apology it's not a Spartan!

No saw Barry but then that's what the Huntsman is for and I haven't needed one today.

Now, did Billy Idol sing "It's nice day for a ... White Weekender...."? I must check  :rofl:

I was surprised too Phil.  Room to spare!  It's funny, but the longer I go, the more I enjoy the Spartan.  It covers about everything without too much bulk.  Throw a saw in and my outdoor needs are covered.  Between the Spartan and the Executive, everything is handled.

You aren't alone in that finding Tony.  Along with the 58's and the Executive, the Spartan is my favorite SAK.
Title: Re: Spartan Saturday!
Post by: Fast Bill on March 28, 2020, 05:09:18 PM
Absolutely Barry it is an old faithful. By rights the other 91’s outshine it for tools but time and again the Spartan is a great carry with just enough for most daily obstacles. I am on record stating my preference for the Sportsman and that’s true but the Spartan is hot on its heels. The Executive is a great office carry though. You know what ... this is Spartan Saturday and I’ve gone jelly Red. I’ll post pics later. Happy Spartan Saturday All !

Thank you. Not too hard to make. 5 oz leather, a hand drill, some archery bow string or dental floss, super glue. Made a pattern with a chunk of cereal box first to get an idea how big to make it. Stays upright in the pocket and keeps lint out. Now I understand why some like these, I should have done it years ago.

I'm always picking up interesting used Spartans if I can get them cheaply enough. These two came with damaged blades. The small blade on the knife on the bottom of the picture had a horrendous bend at the tip; it actually caught on the liner when I closed it. As half expected, it broke off in an attempt to straighten it and about 2mm was lost. I reshaped it with 320 grit sandpaper, finishing with 1000 grit. The job isn't perfect as you can you see but I'm happy anyway. I might try to improve it another time.

The large blade on the 80s Standard on the top came with a reshaped tip, a crude repair to a break. It had no point at all. Why they chose to make it almost as round as a butter knife baffled me! ???  At least they hadn't made it a sheep- or lambsfoot. (I wouldn't have bought it in that case.)

I had to remove quite an amount of metal to get a point back. The blade had lost about 4mm of its length and I was careful enough not to shorten it further. Again, it's not perfect, but I'm happy with the outcome. The edge's tip curve is better than the other's. I'll leave this one alone.

Just to add, the Standard here is my favourite "Spartan". Can anyone see why?  ;)

No, it's in the normal position on both knives. The bottom knife might make things confusing as the shield is on the back scale.

Yep, that's one!  :tu:

There are two more. I'll give one of them away cos it just isn't obvious in the pic, or even in the real, without handling it. The mild flutes on the corkscrew don't irritate my thumb when using the small blade and flat SD.

For the other, think 80's, think pre-2000s. ;)

Title: Re: Spartan Saturday!
Post by: Sawl Goodman on December 06, 2020, 05:01:45 AM
The thing I like most about sheepsfoot and lambsfoot blades is that they make stabbing into materials practically impossible. I have to do this at work sometimes to make label slots in plant pots. The small blade is perfect for it but I have to be very careful that it doesn't fold in use. Maybe dropping the tip while keeping a little belly would make a fair all purpose compromise.
Title: Re: Spartan Saturday!
Post by: Jazz on December 06, 2020, 02:49:40 PM
I like the regular blade shape just fine, but wanted one with a sheepsfoot. Great opening and cutting things up shape, and no belly at all, please. Defeats the purpose. The small blade is still there with it's proper shape.

 My one and only work knife is a Spyderco Delica wharncliffe. Nothing works better than that blade for boxes, cutting flaps, bands, etc. The straight edge keeps things from sliding off as much, and gets the edge right into the cut right away. There's a huge thread over on Spyderco's forum on the inception of that knife, if you care.

https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=70607&p=1082686&hilit=OK#p1082686 (https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=70607&p=1082686&hilit=OK#p1082686)

Anyway, I prefer Victorinox, and mostly use them now, but that Delica is my dedicated work knife, and always will be... because it works. Seems a little off topic, but that's why I like the blade shape, and I really like this, and all Spartans. The camo is cool too.

Well....I didn't realize we had Spartan Saturday around here, but I carried my Spartan all day. And I used it, too.
I "found" a nail in a red oak log.....I can usually tell when the sawmill blade makes this certain "zing" sound as it goes through...

And I used the digging spade (you awl know what I'm talking about) on my Spartan to investigate the seriosity of the nail, its angle of repose, and my likelihood of missing it on my next scheduled cut (current cut was set at 1 and 3/16 inch, allowing for a 1/8 kerf, and 1/16 oversize thickness on the boards). Thanks to the quick work the Spartan made of the probing operation, I was able to determine the nail was lying flat within the cant, and it WAS safe for me to simply proceed with my next cut. In the second picture, if you look closely, you can see that I found the shaft of the nail, heading straight at the hole in the reamer, and thus not a danger for me to make my next sawmill cut below.

Oh, by the way, the 3rd picture is of what else I found with the sawmill in the same log---a steel Tee-post! Probably somebody drove it in there to hold up a bird feeder or some such adornment. My bandmill blades sure love finding stuff like that! (I did not try to dig that one out with the Spartan).

Pocketing the Spartan daily but this was taken New Years eve posing with the first of a scandalously large homemade batch of Olliebollen (Dutch deep fried doughnuts, traditionally eaten as part of New Year celebration). They're packed with raisins, currants, chopped Granny Smith apple. Soooo good while still hot.

The problem I've found with the older "Hardwood" range with T&T is inconsistency with the scales. They can have lovely grain and colour but rarely match on both sides. I have a Spartan that's fairly close in this regard, but I had to settle for an engraved logo on the front scale. From what I've seen, the newer walnut scales are much more consistent. Having a 58mm on your keyring takes care of the lack of T&T.

That's a good point.

It's also trivial to carry T&T in a wallet or other pouch/bag. I sometimes even carry a Classic SD Alox in my wallet since it's so thin and light.

Perhaps ... I usually carry a 58mm anyway but I do try and keep the pocket clutter down if I can so ... mind you the Delemont range covers it... each to his own.

Two Spartans this morning.  Taking the white one with me out into the -14 F snow this morning.  I hope the car starts.

I have a couple Spartans I keep about the house now, including the one in my profile picture. The other one is an old pre t&t 5-ringer. I use it almost every day. I leave it out on my desk. I typically sue the bottle opener for prying open stuck knives, or the can opener for opening packages. Sometimes I use it to eat vienna sausages with. It's my ROTS (Ragged Old Trusty Spartan) and I keep it as my personal steward/butler/gatekeeper around my desk. It takes care a lot of stuff.

There's a bit of a story to this Spartan, which I'll share if i get a chance.

At Christmastime, my family was still under the impression that we didn't have any Swiss Army Knives. Until they opened their presents. My five oldest kids each got a SAK. My wife got a Classic. My oldest son got a Fisherman, my two oldest daughters got Huntsmen, and my second son got a Fieldmaster. But I hadn't managed to get a 4-layer knife for my third daughter, so I gave her this Spartan. She (11 years old) graciously received it, though I felt bad that it was smaller and less capable than the other kids' 4-layer knives. So last week, I realized I had a nice custom wood-scaled Huntsman with tnt, and I let her trade her Spartan out for the Huntsman. She was tickled.

Then later she asked what I would do with her old Spartan. I said I didn't know yet. But after thinking about it, I asked her if she would like to give it to her grandmother.

So when Grandma came over today, she gave her her very own Swiss Army Knife. She had to show Grandma all the uses for it, too.  :)

The "hardwood" Spartan, previous to the walnut one, has T&T. The wood has beautiful colour and grain, but matching scales are relatively rare. I guess that's why Vic changed to walnut. This one's not too bad (the back scale is a little redder than the front one), and the price was good because of the logo. But I've seen worse, and at least it has a Swiss theme.

Oh no!

That's why I don't like camo knives. They look nice, but man! Give me bright colors, all day, every day!  :salute:

I like camo, and this is my first camo SAK. I like the pattern, dunno if I'd buy a different one. But I hear ya! Bright colours are infinitely more practical outdoors.

Well, I sold a Spartan today at the gun show.... it was kind of funny and cute how it happened, actually....

I had 200+ knives out on my table, including 50+ Victorinox, most of which were closed up to actually fit.

This man and his daughter came along, and she was probably about 9 or 10. (Now we know how kids, and some might say, women, can take forever to choose what they're getting when faced with a lot of options.....)

Well the man says, hey look, there's Swiss Army Knives, now's your chance to get one. So her eyes lit up, and she rushes to look. She stuck out her hand, grabbed a black Spartan (without so much as really looking to see what tools were included in it) and said, "This one!"

I looked up at her dad, a bit bemused, and said, "Took her forever to pick which one, didn't it?"

He chuckled, and said, "Yeah, her sister already got one, and she just had to have one." And he paid, and I said, "Don't cut yourself" and that was that.

I sometimes forget this is more of an international site and not all members are as familiar with racing as U.S members may be.

Richard Lee Petty, nicknamed "The King," is an American former stock car racing driver who raced from 1958 to 1992 in the former NASCAR Grand National and Winston Cup Series,most notably driving the No. 43 for Petty Enterprises. He was the first driver to win the Cup Series championship seven times while also winning a record 200 races during his career.This included winning the Daytona 500 a record seven times and winning a record 27 races,10 of them consecutively, in one season 1967. Statistically, he is the most accomplished driver in the history of the sport.

I rarely carry a Spartan, but have two plus a Wenger equivalent:

- Spartan PS, full stormtrooper with black T&T. My absolute favourite looking SAK.  :drool:
- Spartan Serrated... got this on clearance as it was like CAD$16... the blade is incredible on it  :o
- Wenger Viking... this belonged to my late grandfather, who loved the colour green. I can't seem to find the branding logo anywhere, so I don't actually know if the company is still around. It would have been obtained in the 80s, likely in Canada but I'm not certain. I really like the more bellied blade shape, though the backsprings aren't as snappy.

Excuse the abacus-quality photos... wanted to get these on here while it's still Saturday somewhere  :whistle:

Looks like the same model but this was sold under the name Serrated Spartan, though I can't tell any difference. Got it new over the winter on clearance and put some green scales on it.

From the SAKWiki entry for the Spartan, under "Variations":
The Weekender model is a serrated main blade version of the Spartan. This model has been reported discontinued in the past, but resurfaced as part of a special picnic set (ref: 2008 Catalog), and was produced again in 2012 and started to appear in Target Stores in the US, and from a small number of other retailers.  Since 2008 Victorinox has used the name 'Serrated Spartan ' in the US for this model.


I have one also, bought used on eBay, so don't know which name mine was sold under.

This is a series which I call the "skyline" Spartans.They were issued by REI several years ago.

Can anyone guess the sky lines represented here? It shouldn't be difficult for some members.

In my long history with SAKs, I've never put a Spartan in the carrier role. That changed today. Add a straight pin, mini screwdriver, and lanyard and presto! This ruby Spartan is ready to go into my dedicated pocket upon completion of the Soldier On! challenge. (It's awlso difficult to edit the photos to accurately convey the beauty of the ruby scales.)

I got mine from Etsy. Took a long time but it got here. The seller was nice, great transaction. Not affiliated by the way.

No worries. I got the yellow, but really wanted stay glo plus but I guess they don’t make them. There is a site that does 3D printing of scales if you fancy something different. Just Google Shapeways, though they may have them at Etsy.

I find Spartans quite addictive. I must have about a dozen. Besides having the classic tool pattern there's such a great variety in scales and colour, & they're so cheap to buy used. I got a translucent orange one the other day, as new. I love orange!

The Spartan. A sensible basic toolset in a very carryable form. I doubt anyone would suggest it's the optimum toolset (my own query is "why two blades?") and so it gets overlooked time and again but it is pretty hard to beat most days and in most situations.

So why not celebrate that every Saturday?  :cheers:

usually I like the large blade for "working" and keep the small blade sharp and clean. Some folks do the opposite. As for toolset, Iike the Spartan w/a scissors, it's only one more layer....

Very true Tony, people do tend to fall into one camp or the other with the small blade. I use mine to open the post and save the main blade for proper jobs.

And scissors? They are the one stand out reason why people carry a SAK. :hatsoff:

Just thinking about it both the Spartan and the Climber are rather taken for granted round here. But they're how must of us found our way into SAK's... :think:

And I spent yesterday with my Blue Jelly Spartan. It compliments a sunny day so well and helped open a sack of sunflowers for the wild birds. But I was so busy I didn't take a pic so here's a ketchup shot

I sought out the Hardwood version specifically for the T&T. Now I’m in two minds about it. One of my other favourite Spartans is a Standard. There’s something clean & tidy looking about scales without T&T.

On the other hand I love plus scales, so...  ???

I’m not bothered by a lack of T&T on mid-sized SAKs because I have a Rambler on my keyring & Classics scattered around the house.

One of my favourite Spartans is a Standard with solid scales & no T&T. I like its feel & no nonsense appearance. 🙂

l prefer the corkscrew for its utility but the Phillips makes the knife more comfortable to hold, particularly when you sing the small blade.

I hear people say that but I don’t really notice the difference (the Tinker Small is new but I also have a Super Tinker I’ve been carrying for a while now).

Yep, I’ve got two Spartans and a Tourist I’ll be rotating through during the challenge. One of my Spartans is a new-to-me 70s era Spartan with the beveled awl with no sewing eye, grooved corkscrew, and a blank reverse tang stamp. Can’t wait to carry it, use it, and post some pics!

Edit - That Spartan is older than I am (I’m 40)!

I have one that was ancient when I was a kid! I'm 65. I was told it was Pradel not Vic, did that company steal the shield?
Pic will be in July challenge for debate, it is the tool set of Spartan....

Spartan PS (stormtrooper colour theme)
Serrated Spartan
Wenger Viking (their Spartan equivalent)

I don't use the Spartans much but with the black T&T completing the stormtrooper colour theme, it's my favourite looking SAK. The Wenger belonged to my grandfather and he likely got it in the late 70s or early 80s. The Serrated was an impulse buy as they were on sale for C$19... in fact they are on sale again so I will probably pick some up, perhaps to give away as gifts. I generally dislike serrated blades, but the serrations on this and the Cheese Master are absolutely excellent.

Took this as a scale comparison for the challenge, and decided to post it here instead.

(https://i.postimg.cc/25yvcnHR/100-0718.jpg)


I recently picked up a Diamond Select Toys West World Dolores Abernathy figure for use as a rider for 1:12 scale (Freedom, formerly Classic) Breyer horses.  The figure is actually 1:10 scale, and about 6.5" tall (vs. just under 6" for a 1/12 female), so I decided to get out some other figures I had.

The horses are a 1:12 "Hugo" from when Breyer had a Saddle Club range. The larger horse is a 1:9/Traditional "Western Prancer" based on Gene Autry's Champion. The mold originated in the 1950s, and the horse was originally produced between 2000-2004. In 2014, I think, some were found in storage and sold as "Warehouse Finds" with a different bridle.

The 6" figure is a bog-standard Hasbro Black Series Rey Skywalker.

The two paramedics are Breyer riders with clothing and accessories from a recently introduced Barbie paramedic, which was purchased last year at an $5 Black Friday price from Amazon, thus two were purchased. Because the body of that figure was "petite", almost everything fit well on the smaller 8" Breyer riders, except the pants were too long. The redhead is a current-production veterinarian figure, and I used the pants that came with the figure. Had to use the Barbie pants with the brunette, which was bought cheaply a few years back off eBay for use as a base figure. She's the older pre-2013 design with a smaller head, thus she looks less doll-like. I saved a lot of money--I found some firefighter turnouts as well as suitable dark blue cargo pants and T-shirts--those were about $50 from a place specializing in 8-inch figures. Counting the stretcher, figures, and Barbie figures, I spent less than that $50.

Stretcher was sold as an accessory for six-inch wrestling figures, but works well with 8-inch figures also. Stethescope is GI Joe, and the defibrillator is a Bandai capsule toy. It was the only option for a defibrillator I had in the scale, and it took some time to find. Japanese sellers were wanting $25-30, but an eBay seller in Atlanta had them for $5 each.

I remember the Breyer horses.  My sister in law collects them.  Nice collection Cody!
Phil, you're right!  Let's keep the best thread in the house going!
I used Old Blue to open a parcel from Farmer X containing a beautiful black scaled Swisschamp.

Well done Guys, nice to see a Weekender make an appearance Tony and it's always interesting to see what others are into Cody and the challenge of getting something just right. A black scaledSC is a very smart thing Barry. You'd think it would be bulky but that "little black number" does add something special to a SwissChamp  :like:

I havent had a Spartan for YEARS (lost mine) but always wanted another for my SAK collection. A Spartan is a SAK that every collector should have at least one of. So here is my new SWEET white Spartan . Its even nicer looking in real life. I have been waiting to be able to get into one of these Spartan threads again.

I have a few SAKs ranging from 58mm to 130mm.

Recently I carried an 84mm Bantam for a few months EDC and loved it.
Overtime you really get to appreciate what 2 tools can do once you improvise.
I hardly even noticed it in my pocket.
I'm now doing the same for the Spartan as my sole EDC SAK to see if I get more utility.
I was going to choose the Climber for the scissors but noted that I never missed them when I EDC the Bantam.

I just cheat - I will carry something like a Spartan or Recruit... but also a Rambler! So if I absolutely need scissors, I've got them.

Often, I find that when a blade isn't suitable for a job it's because it's some fine detailed work or the scissors would be safer for me or another person than an actual blade. In those cases I would argue the 58mm scissors are better for the job than the 91mm version!

Nice Red and Blur jelly scales guys for Spartan Saturday.  :like:

And that's a fine looking Opinel Barry. How do you get along with it? I've always been curious about the locking collar.

Afraid I had a day clay shooting so I took a few more layers but always good to check in here.

Great to see you Phil!  Thanks, it's a great knife. It's as sharp as you could ask for, and that collar is solid when it's locked.  I can open and close it one handed with no problem and it's a joy to use.  I have a few Tour de France editions in my collection.  They're a joy to carry and use.
Clays are always fun!

Tony, I actually carried a Spartan today as I was weedwhacking and cutting some tree limbs with lopping shears and a saw.  Couldn't even feel it in my pocket.  I didn't carry the pretty one in my test photo.  Used a scuffed up one.  It is lots of work to scuff up and break a new one in good, and who needs the extra work?  Best wishes and have a nice weekend awl.  Gary

The site Tasky mentioned ran out long ago I think but those serrated Spartans are around at various shops online.  You can try Hamilton Marine.  They have a really low price but not sure what shipping costs are.  The blade cuts well.  It's a nice Spartan to take to the park with some bread and cheese (and perhaps wine).

Post by: IMR4198 on August 26, 2023, 11:50:36 AM
Hi Barry,
       No Spartan today?  I had another Archie with the Three Layer Thursday festivities.  It does serve for a one panel cartoon funny and adds a little color.  Plain red Spartans might need a little background. 
       I bought my first Spartan around 1980.  A town over the mountains about 60 miles away had a Walmart and all the people from miles around went to see the new thing.  Now they are in every town and one is within a mile of my house.  Anyway, I took Dad and off we went on our little shopping adventure.  Walmart.  Got to be great.
       Naturally I went back to the little sporting/outdoors section of the store.  They had it all.  Including a sale on Victorinox.  Now I was carrying a regular sort of knife I suppose and Dad usually had a Case stockman.  The Spartans were $8 and some change.  I nabbed one.
       Dad looked at me and asked, "You're not going to buy me one, too?"  That wouldn't do.  They had what I remember as a Huntsman for $12.  I remember it had lots of doo-dads and I recall the name.  Red naturally. 
       To make an eternally long story short, neither of us ever carried the knives.  Dad probably swapped them both off for something.  Maybe I did.  It takes a while to get used to different carries.  Best wishes.  Gary
Title: Re: Spartan Saturday!
Post by: Barry Rowland on August 26, 2023, 05:35:52 PM
I really enjoy stories like that Gary.  My Dad got my first SAK for me in Wichita on a trip back in October 1983.  I carried it exclusively until 2015.  I found an old PST and was interested in the history of it.  I found Multitool.org and the rest history!  I've had a few Spartans, but this is the only one I currently have.
Title: Re: Spartan Saturday!
Post by: IMR4198 on August 26, 2023, 07:09:01 PM
       Liking that blue a lot.  And the memory.  I have been thinking about that Huntsman I said I bought.  I might have said the wrong thing.  I thought about it before I joined this site and got infected with chronic SAK induced insanity that it must have been a Hunter.  No such critter.  Then I thought, maybe it was a Huntsman.  I am about to come to the conclusion that it was a Hiker.  I wish I had the thing in a drawer right now.  What a bargain.  Best wishes.  Gary

      Did you have friends like Jughead when you were in High School, Barry?  I had a pal Doug that could fall into the Jughead category.  As soon as he got his driver's license, his dad bought him a Dodge Colt.  Doug would slip out and drive 16 miles to the Georgia line and buy a bottle of Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill wine.  Then he would sit around outside with some others and get potted.  After lunch he would slip back into class.  For some reason he enjoyed High School Biology class a lot more after that.  Didn't learn anything, but had fun.  I went on one extracurricular excursion with Doug but don't remember what we did.  Best wishes.  Gary

I printed new scales for my Spartan and had it clipped in my pocket all-day on Saturday. Worked well! I like it. Nice and thin and didn't sit in the bottom of my pocket.

I printed the clip and scale as one piece, despite the holes at the top of the clip. So yes, the scales are custom.
I'm considering modifying this clip scale to add tweezers, ferro rod slot and a microSD card slot. Like what is done here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4548958 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4548958)

       Eastern Wild Turkeys.  The toms (males) are strutting their stuff for the hen's enjoyment.  They are wary, and fast, and strong.  Powerful flyers.
      Not turkey season at the moment.  They taste just like all turkeys but are not fat.  The meat is tough as an old shoe.  Why are they so close to my house?  They stay around because there is food and water and nobody bothers them.  They fly way up in the trees at night when the coyotes are more active.  I put a night camera out on a well-used trail this week and the coyotes were everywhere.  Best wishes.

    All the places in my yard where I ran over the leaves with my Cub are covered with leaves again.  Autumn leaves and grass mowing in the summer are both journeys rather than destinations to be reached. 
    Archie again today.  I will admit that although Veronica is cute and rich, that I like Betty more.  Smiling.  Pretty.  Fun.  Plays good baseball.  Best wishes. G

Good morning, Tony.  I keep forgetting to add Weekender to the Spartan event.  After all a Weekender is just a Spartan with bigger teeth.  Went to post office early this morning.  Vandals had busted up my mailbox.  Again.  Also, there is a bunch of trash thrown out there.  I will walk down later with a bucket and one of those things like tongs that you can pick up stuff with.  I don't know what they are called?  Don't want to bend down too much and handle nasty with my bare hands.  Will carry a Spartan to supervise the work, of course.  Best wishes.  G

 Tony, I went down and cleaned up the trash that someone threw out.  I found his receipt from the Magistrate.  Paid $445 to get out of jail.  Then he got out of town and threw all his stuff on my property.  Lots of stinky trash.  5 cans of Modelo beer that were still cold.  Unopened cans of corn and beans.  I left the organic stuff to let the ants and coyotes eat.  Took the tortillas home for the raccoons to eat.  It's hot dog, queso fresco, and tortillas on the skunk, possum, and racko menu for tonight.  I picked up 5 trash bags full and two big boxes.  Found a good roll of black electrician's tape.  I'm keeping that.   :D Best wishes.  G

Been a while since I posted (but it's still Spartan Saturday every week) My dad had a TRS-80 which at the time was a serious business computer for him. It was a pretty solid workhorse. Remembered I had his marketing comic so here it is with my Delemont Christmas Special  for today. It's not a Spartan but I think we've agreed here they can join in (in honesty I think I suggested it...)

   Yawn.  Oh, I just got up.  A big thank you to Fast Bill for putting on the coffee and digging out the comic books.  We have been letting in several different SAKs on the Spartan Saturday.  Spartans.  Weekenders.  The little 84 mm Spartans (Tourists).  Might as well have some "HO, HO, HO" with a nice seasonal edition snowy Delemont. 
   No snow here yet.  The semi-literate news person on the radio said there was supposed to be 30 inches of snow here last Wednesday.  The forecast was supposed to be 'up to 3 inches'.  Maybe she had been drinking something besides coffee.  Actually there wasn't even a single flake of snow here.  Probably was on the mountain tops.  Best wishes.  G

    Good to hear from you, Tony.  I will likely be representing the Small SAKs Owner's Association this coming month in the Classic Challenge.  The south of Throgg's Neck Chapter, of course.  I am digging out some 58mm Classics and Bijou models.  Getting things sharpened up.  Not too many people signed up for it yet, but there is still time.
    I hear people complain about the Victorinox steel.  I will say that I don't think there is anything easier for me to put a good working edge on than a Victorinox.  And the 58mm are easiest of all.  A few swipes on my black Arkansas razor hone, and they are good to go.  Best wishes and happy holidays.  G

Black and red.  Nice BT.  Seems like we did get a few Spartans to show up for the day.  About the Classic Challenge.  Now is the time to sign up.  Carry a Classic for 30 days of January.  Tell what is going on with you and your Classic.  Post a photo.  Every day.  Easy as pie.  Leave the other SAKs and multis at home snuggled warm in their beds.  Explorer is running the show, so you know it will be fun.  And have lots of cute dog photos.  Feel free to join in.  Best wishes.  G

     I understand that I am being a bad influence to some of the other members here.  Evidently my posting photos of transparent scales on Vics is causing a rash of transparent scales buying.  Blue scales, red scales, wanting green scales.  You see the problem.  Oh well, what can I do.  Here are some more photos.

TSS or transparent scale syndrome.
Sometimes CC or cover confusion for those using that term.
One treatment may be CCR/cu or credit card restricting- cut up, but this has side effects on other purchases...

Nice photo.  I don't have a photo for today.  All my non-58mm SAKs are put away for the month.  No larger SAK or multi-tool in my everyday carry.  I have signed up for the 108mm challenge next month.  Might have to re-think some things.  Wait a minute.... I will just post a photo from before.... Yeah.  Best wishes.  G

    Happy Spartans.  I am carrying only a Classic for this month, but I did see a Spartan lying around that needed a photo.  After this month, I am signed on for the 108mm challenge.  Find out what the big SAK will do.  I intended to put my GAK back into my pocket after the Classic fun anyway.  Find out what it will do?  That might be eye-opening if I never carried one before for any length of time.  But I have been carrying one every day since the very early 1980's.  Not much novelty in carrying one and certainly nothing new for me.
    I would rather be carrying a Spartan today, but...  I don't want Explorer shaking the rule book at me.  He might even turn his vicious dog loose.  Ouch.  Best wishes.  G

Just so you know.  I'm not carrying a Spartan today.  Just taking a photo.  Spartan logo knife.  This one had a little kink in the main blade.  Somebody tried to pry something with it.  Bad idea.  I straightened it by hand using the push one end against a table and eyeballing it.  Pretty straight now.  I put my finger over the upper portion of the blade when I was pushing it down.  Didn't just grab the handle and push.  You could bend the whole blade if you didn't watch.  Also a bad idea.  Best wishes.  Gary

Post by: Jazz on January 21, 2024, 03:37:39 AM
I’m still amazed that people use the blade to pry, with a knife that has two screwdrivers on it. Stupid. Happened to my first Spartan by an unknown family member. Still has the kink in it.
Title: Re: Spartan Saturday!
Post by: IMR4198 on January 21, 2024, 02:07:07 PM
You can cut with a slightly bent blade fairly well, but it sure plays hob with sharpening.  As long as it still shuts okay, then you might even let it go for a while.  This was how I straighten a slight bend.  If it is a 45 degree bend you might as well forget it.  It will have an S curve if you try to bend it back.  Or break.  This photo was what I meant about putting my finger on top of the blade and pressing it down.  I am holding the handle part an inch or two off the table surface. It works if the bend is slight, and even if it is slightly twisted sometimes.  I have straightened several like this.  I have also seen broken tips on other SAKs, so do it at your own risk.  I have a couple of SAKs with bent or twisted small screwdriver tips.  They never look right once you straighten them evidently.  I have a couple that someone straightened.  They work, but they still look bad.  Best wishes.  G

Seriously, a great share Gary.   It is so sad so many youth are not exposed to life today and how to prepare or plan for tomorrow s of our world.

Plus, the SPARTAN IS GREAT  knife.   I have a couple, but SE edged main blades.   Paired with a Climber you have yourself a KIT.

   You could get by with only one rubber out of a pair.  Just hop through the woods on one foot.  Good exercise.  I looked at the Boy Scouts supply site online a couple of weeks ago.  I saw the Chinese scout knife was advertised as a Victorinox.  I guess AI compooters can't read tang stamps. 
    Next time I go to ACE I need to see if they still have BSA knives.  They used to have Tinkers or something.  Got to go there Monday anyway.  Best wishes.  G

In my day, you could only  purchase the authentic Boy Scout or Cub Scout knife from the local Boy Scout office.

I know Buck makes a Boy Scout labeled knife, as at one time do did CASE.   VICTORINOX I thought did as well internationally.   Some of these faded into being called Camp knives, just plain Scout knives.   To avoid Licensing fees.

One will go to the collection drawer and the other one for heavy use :D It's easy to guess which one I'll set aside  ::)
