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.
This life is merely a staging ground for eternity. Are you preparing for the rest of forever?

Spartan trimming the tails off a knot (Vice Versa) to be used in hanging a bird feeder.




Every time I use a Spartan I am reminded of what a great knife this is. The proportions are just so good. Light and capable, a really lovely pocket knife for a Saturday.

( The pictured Spartan is a $4 rehab project from the MTo Store. )

The birds will be grateful Nix. And I do think Black Spartans are about as smart as it gets. Gentlemans toolkit.

Well done :cheers:

Happy Saturday! The Spartan cut a cardboard box up earlier, but in the driving rain, so no photos. Currently having a well deserved rest.
