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
:worthless:
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
Love the pix pal!!!! :cheers:

Thank you! I'm rather pleased with those ones myself ;)
Well,here's my choice on the first Spartan Saturday!

It's amazing the stuff that crops up in FT!
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.

Jon Ronson has some interesting titbits too!
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?)
I like the sound of Spartan Saturday, though. :cheers:
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 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!!

Here's mine, serrated blade Spartan. I really like the serrated blade but don't carry it that much because it doesn't have a Phillips. Maybe I'll swap the corkscrew for a Phillips someday.
The Spartan Spirit :)
Excellent!!! :cheers: :cheers: I wish I had thought to combine my Spartan with a Swiss Tool today....maybe next Sat.
A few new ones and some older Spartans.
I'm setting a new Standard for Spartan Saturday :D

Excellent! But let's not forget the double standard of Spartan Saturday on Sunday...
:cheers:
I actually pocketed a Weekender today. I think that deserves and honourable mention here :D
It may be Sunday, and I don't usually carry a Spartan on Saturday, but there's just enough time to indulge my jelly red scale habit. Complete with map of Switzerland for artistic effect :D
A few favorites. :)

Even tho the day is almost done, I'll go up and get one of my Spartans to carry for the afternoon and this evening. tom. :cheers:
Seemed like a good choice to accompany my Star Wars marathon.

I'm saving this one for my nephew. He's only 4 at the moment, but as soon as his mum and dad say he's old enough I'll get it engraved for him.

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

Waiting to see what the weather does and whether to add a Farmer to the Sat. Spartan.

Yay ! Another Spartan Saturday Another Fail. I was mentoring at a friends kids and newbies shoot and decided I simply had to take my 111mm Soldier out. I rarely carry it but the saw is such a must "have item" for beaters stick etc it simply leapt out of the tool box almost panting and barking and wagging its, er, split ring with excitement I couldn't leave it at home ...
I'll get my coat :doh:

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.

Oh dearie back to my old form. I managed a Black Swisschamp yesterday ... I'm claiming a Dispensation to be allowed Spartan Sunday cos I'm too stupid to understand the rules or clearly not paying enough attention :ahhh
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:

One more trip to the naughty step for me so I'm doing Spartan Sunday to make up for it. Went shooting round a local fen yesterday with my Grizzly and confirmed what I'd suspected for a while ... that my neoprene wellies have developed a leak. So we'll see if a bit of araldite sort things out. Fingers firmly crossed. :ahhh

There's definitely a mixed feeling about getting new white goods. On one hand you get to have properly stored and safe food, on the other you have to spend money that could have bought new MTs or shooting goodies. :-\

IT was a relief to get it! I was worried we couldn't get one delivered this side of Christmas. Don't get me wrong,I like spam sarnies,but not in the place of the feast I'm planning!

Ive got something new lined up for SBD(Spartan Boxing Day),or IDOGS( International Day of Goodwill to Spartans)

Will be up around 73F today, then slammed with severe storms (with lg hail/tornadoes) this afternoon, then the arctic front arrives, freezes everything in place and at that point it will snow a couple of inches.... :D

Not really a Spartan for me today... but its smaller cousin was with me today... does a Tourist count or is it depending on the 7 mm difference?!
Just kidding as a Spartan is in the car ... and a Craftsman ... and a ... way too many and they seem to be everywhere ::) ::)
Boxing Day is a Saturday and the Sportsman is kinda Spartan.

Stylin' up the Standard today for a while on Boxing Day. Style shown in "not a knife" display mode. Practicing for later when I will have to do this to get into the stadium I'm sure. ::) Hoping I don't lose it (the Style, not my temper). :D

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.

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. :)

Robert... I love that translucent green! Great looking color.

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...

Fantastic vid, hobie! What a gorgeous SAK!

Nice old Ellie, I'll bet that one carries nicely. Those scales are perfectly worn, I wonder if some glue and clamps could flatten them back on the liners, the old ones with no T&T are impossible to find, and newer scales wouldn't be right on that old smoothie...
Pretty excellent SG! :tu: :cheers:
SAK Guy must be reading my mind, I was hoping a Standard would pop up today. :tu:
The wood handles on my contribution today has already started taking colors from the oils in my skin. I love the way wood scales wear.
I think the Style PS and the Spartan makes a good pairing.
Here's hoping the situation improves for our members in the flooded and recently flooded areas of Central Europe!

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.

Wonderfull ! But I think it's an old model 234 U, the ancestor of the Spartan !
Is that what was called the Standard ?
Looks like a Camper to me, listed in several catalogs from 60's-70's on the wiki.

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 a very cool knife! :tu:
That's a nice one SG, earlier than mine and with the Elinox stamp... :drool:

For all you Spartan fans, I just saw this on the West Marine website. The Spartan "Knots", "Code Flags", and "Anchor" knifes for under $10 each.
http://www.westmarine.com/outlet/buy/victorinox--spartan-knots-knife--16767295
I think of them as "Super Spartans" Steve! I'm waiting for my Spartan to show up so my Climber is filling in (on hold until I'm done with the Evo Challenge :ahhh)
I know, it's the same pic I posted the other day. Photobucket is being a smurfer. Still, the Weekender is in my pocket today. :tu:

My Sportsman today is the nylon version of yours or Sportsman II as it's sometimes called. A very handy SAK.
That 125th Anniv Spartan is great!!! I have the Cybertool version!
[img]
I did forget to mention that I got to put this particular Spartan together myself :o I was at Smoky Mountain Knife Works the same weekend as the VIctorinox truck was there and if you bought a certain amount then you could put your own knife together :D I bought a 125 year anniversay Swisschamp and then I got to do this :cheers: I also got to tour the trailer/museum they had and not knowing much about SAKs as I do now thought it was very neat and still enjoyed it thoroughly ;)

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.

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.

:rant: kinda frustrated on this scratchy Spartan Saturday. This is the same knife in both pics, just tilted to a different angle. All thise scratches are present after 800 to 1000 to 1500 to 2000 to 3000 to polishing compound to "professional" fine grade polishing compound/swirl remover.
Cant figure out how to get rid of scratches.

[...]
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.[...]

Are those logos for different products from the same company, or are they from different companies?
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.:cheers: yes, Huntsman has scissors, my Tinker has the Philips but I will commit to SPARTAN ! uh... for awhile..

Could not post pics till today. :-\ ................ SO , here is my carry from yesterday's SPARTAN SATURDAY! :ahhh 8)
I actually expected more participants last Saturday, with October minimalist challenge and everything, but I still think it was a good harvest of pictures with excellent contributions from everybody (including the late-comer(s) :D ). I sort of cheat at Spartan Saturday, since I'm one of the weirdos who actually EDC a Spartan most days anyway.

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:

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.

It's an interesting SAK Robert indeed, I'm no expert but the ship looks like a ferry and there is service from Anglesey to Ireland I believe. Might be connected with that somehow ? :tu:

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).

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:

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).

My colour suggestions might get blown a raspberry (purple, orange, anything but green etc...) but Black always goes well. You could even give it a James Bond Live and Let Die reference - Baron Samedi's Spartan ? :pommel:

My Spartan is missing in action and when I recently purchased a replacement Spartan in an auction, I discovered that it was the 84mm equivalent Tourist...I own both and the size difference is very noticeable.

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.

Yes, grippy scales. The logo is a little better than it looks in the photo but it looks to be stamped on and will fade with use.

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...

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

Really? Now that's interesting. I didn't realise they had a coating on. I'd always thought they we similar scales to those on the Traveller ? Maybe I was mistaken. Any clues Dan ?

These are called "soft touch" yeah, just a coating... I'm not sure about the ones you're referring to.. I seek enlightenment. :D
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.Thanks RS - no tang stamp but a a blade stamp right of the nail nick, looks like a crown??
Guess I have a "really old something " knife. LolIts not a Sak its French, thanks all for the help and Hello Spartans!
I am surprised they sneaked that past the Vic copyright department, it actually looks like it was intended to deceive, you sure its not from the far-east ? :DIt's a Pradel. Which is French ;)
A worthy addition to the collection though, especially as its old :cheers:

Interesting, had a quick look and Pradel use a different shaped cross to Vic so guess all is good, nice looking knives though i will keep my eye open and try picking an older one up :tu:

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.
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?
a Partridge in a pear tree... :whistle:

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.

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

Thanks. I didn't intend to take the thread off track. Just curious as to why the Spartan over its smaller counterpart, that's all.I got a tinker that is basically a Spartan 84 mm but with Phillips instead of corkscrew.

Let me be honest there’s a group of us go for fun every now and then. I’ve never raced but riding fixed on the track is a skill all its own :cheers:

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?
-Sporky
I too used the awl to start a little pilot hole and a belt hole and I too, except for my black 111's, prefer classic red on my other ones! :tu:I'm in lol, although mine is just a standard red :( I do love it.

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

The Climber is a Spartan with a scizzors, a nice addition. :cheers:

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.Nice carry :like:

Tony, I just took this picture of my Swisschamp in my watchpocket. I left it out a little so you could see it; otherwise, you'd never know it was there.:tu: thanks, now what about my clips and lanyards lol. :think:
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.:tu:
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 reckon! Be a shame to buy a Spartan Wood or something just to steal the scales.

Do the walnut scales hold up on daily use?
Another Saturday with my Walnut Spartan ... both late and no pics ... oops :dunno::tu: :rofl:
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.dunno, no key ring?
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? ;)
dunno, no key ring?
Been carrying this one lately.Did you do the regrind yourself? Do you think it makes it more useable?
(https://i.imgur.com/VlXqEwl.jpg)
Still the one.... pocket perfection imo.:like:
The first time I did the Minimalist Challenge, I intended to carry primarily my SI. I threw in a Spartan for variety. What happened, though, was I fell in love with the Spartan and how capable a knife it truly is. Power to weight ratio, the Spartan is hard to beat.
All that, and it's a phenomenal value. My Standard above has become a favourite carry. :cheers:

TV guide just out of reach, Spartan in pocket large blade just long enough to pull TV guide towards me without moving 🤣🤣🤣
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).
Good to see a nice Jelly Red Spartan. Nice one Wolfy :like:
Thanks, Bill. Right now I'm on a quest for a walnut scale version.
I agree. I can make it work without the toothpick, but the tweezers I like to have.i usually resort to a Spartan with a Scizzors, use the sciz most...
I agree. I can make it work without the toothpick, but the tweezers I like to have.
Just won opartan that's not bad in that wayne on the big auction site, NIB. Lots of seller photos and I see T&T. So some have and some don't ? I see the walnut 111mm without scale tools, but Spartans ?
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.
See you next month Tony! It just might be a Spartan February :D:salute:
:salute:I participated in a challenge but could only change avis not a pic for the 30 days so it did not qualify.

Nifty, eh ? Vic does nice work. I like them all, but wood scales on these sure have a unique feel.
They're really nice in the hand, aren't they? They remind me of trad wooden scaled knives. I'd really like some nice DIY/aftermarket ones on one of my Spartans, maybe a little thicker than stock on the corkscrew side at least. :dd:

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.In other words; a proper EDC SAK (awlways there when you need/want it) :tu: :drink:

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.very nice Jim :tu:
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. :)
Not long acquired, and now... :think:
It is Barry. I'm not into wooden scales really being a T&T man but this I do like. And my Walnut Spartan.
I'm having to rethink some of my assumptions ! :think:
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:
Also, I want to tell everyone here how much I love this thread. It's my favourite theme one, with an intimate membership that really appreciates this comparatively simple model that's the basis of an incredible range. :salute:

Cheers gents. :hatsoff: I actually bought the Spartan with them on, the UK site I used had a few colour options. Green's always been my favourite colour, so...
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.
Seems right today to carry my DofE Pocket Tool and my Walnut Spartan.Nice sentiment FB :tu:

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

Walnut Spartan today, with excellent new fridge magnet !
Ok it's on my filing cabinet but ... whatever :whistle:

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.:tu: :salute:
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.
Blue looks great 👍 but Im still a Red Cell , I really tried, I am so ashamed ......
I've always said to myself the last Spartan I'll get will be celi red. Doesn't mean I don't want one. In fact it's increasingly tempting Tony. I'd just have to stop picking up other Spartans ... and I've got quite attached to my little collection :dunno:lol ues FB I changs SAKs only 3 times a day! I'll have to do Blue for the USCG.

Nice hand of Spartans there Altis ... is the serrated blade a Weekender? I'd love to get one but never seen one this side of the pond... As I'm in the Go-Big challenge best I make the most of this opportunity for lightness whilst I can ... so Have a Great Spartan Saturday guys
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":
From the SAKWiki entry for the Spartan, under "Variations":...got mine recently and really like that main blade!!
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.

Hey! Very nice again! But why may I ask the safety main blade tip?

I recently got the black one and have been carrying it today in solidarity. I feel this irrational desire to get more Spartans. OMG.
Great to see you Sawl! Yes we're few in number but know a good thing when we see it :D
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.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....
So why not celebrate that every Saturday? :cheers:
:like:
:cheers: :tu:
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.cool bird! Beer and the Blue
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 made a cock-up! I’m still getting used to the new theme. Barry, you have accidental mail! :rofl::rofl: It's going to take some time for me too Sawl!
Nice one, marlowe221! Welcome to the best SAK day of the week 😎
Reminds me: my small Tinker needs new scales. I have to say that since I prefer the Spartan, Tourist, & Recruit it’s never been a top priority 🤔
Nice one, marlowe221! Welcome to the best SAK day of the week 😎Yes!
I normally prefer the corkscrew models over the back phillips but I’ve been trying to broaden my SAK horizons lately.
Still hard to beat the classic Spartan/Tourist toolset though!
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'm late posting but went Silvertech yesterday. Tends to be my go to Spartan Saturday carry so I'm going to do some rotation in the Midsummer Spartan challenge

Happy Saturday Spartans, this is also a test to see if I still have the hang of it [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
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.
Once upon a time I didn't like the transparent deal, but I am getting in the ABS groove now. Is ABS the right word, or is that antilock braking system? I don't think I have ever held a serrated SAK. Might have to look around. Best wishes G :drool:Tasky alerted us to a great deal on those serrated Spartans last year and a bunch of us bought them.
Nice. Have you tried to cut with it? I haven't had much luck with the half serrated blades with the really aggressive teeth. That Spartan looks like it would work better for most uses. Nothing like a site where your friends tell you a great bargain is located. Best wishes. GaryThe 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).
P.S. I just noticed that I am now a Full Member of this fun place. I will do my best to honor its legacy and treat everyone with respect and the same fellowship that I have been shown. G
I think I have enough Spartans. You got to stop somewhere, right?

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.In my day, you could only purchase the authentic Boy Scout or Cub Scout knife from the local Boy Scout office.
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
:D
Thanks to Magic for blowing the whistle to start Spartan Saturday. I could easily get by with just carrying a Spartan every day. I always have other tools around for heavier bolt/screw/hammering/scraping/filing/grinding/cutting/can opening/ prying/punching duties anyway. A Spartan would fill in quite well for out walking around, shopping, convenience uses admirably. I didn't mention singing, marching, and camping.... Maybe I better illustrate that last usage with a photo. Bes wishes. Gary:like:
