Day 4

I used the scissors a bit today and i find it hard to believe that the company that gave us these also gave the world some of the best scissors in their size. These open unreasonably small and the ergonomics just aren't there. The way I hold them in my picture seems to me to be the "natural" way to grip them, seeing how well my index finger holds the tool in place while my thumb does the cutting. But the way the cutting edges are made means they are meant to be held the other way around in a way that means that 1. I don't get as good a grip of the tool. and 2. I use the fairly sensitive inside of  my index finger joint to move the thin steel handle.

That said the butter blade that comes with the tool is really nice for Swedish carry since Swedish knife law seems to basically only take intent into action. It's hard to claim that you chose that blade with criminal intent... (disclaimer, this seems to be what the law says but might not be how it is supposed to be interpreted).

Awesome picture there! The Spirit is just so photogenic!


It seems to be going well so far, keep it up.

Great pictures guys!


@Fortytwo,
Interesting to hear about the scissors. I sometimes wonder about getting a Spirit with scissors as they're things I need every day but I'd probably regret it if they are really rubbish.
Am I better off just sticking to the scissors on a Classic? (I have a nice Alox Classic so it's not like a big burden.)

cheers for keeping score, delighted to see I am in first place...tied with everybody else!

I find the Spirit scissors are more like mini snips than scissors.  They're stiffer and more positive than on a 91mm SAK (or the Swisstool, for that matter) and although they don't open very wide, how often do you actually need to cut really thick material?  I do find the left-handedness of the scissor frustrating sometimes, but really only when I'm cutting my nails - and the Rambler on my keys works much better for nails anyway.

If you want to widen the scissors it's a pretty easy mod to do.

I would say that the Classic is a far better pair of scissors but I believe that the Spirit is meant to be able to tackle stiffer stuff in keeping with the more heavy duty style. I had almost no trouble cutting a zip-tie with it for example, something I believe the Classic would have struggled with. So I guess it depends on what you want tu cut with them.

Nails: Classic wins hands down. Zip-ties: Spirit wins. Small threads etc: Probably a tie.

Day 5. Where the Spirit snips excel is in dealing with argumentative and destructive Lego crewmembers - Like a hot knife through butter:

Looks like it's going to be a long week on the U boat.

I've just been cutting zip ties with my Spirit - at least on the heavy duty ones, the pliers do a great job.(I also had to use the pliers for getting some shattered old style light bulbs out of their sockets... We have about 200 metres of 15 watt bulbs on our little Xmas market and every year about 2 dozen go pop!)
It's not often I really need pliers but when you need them, nothing else will do. I would have chopped my fingers to bits on those broken lightbulbs today, had I not had my Spirit with me.
