It looks like it's going to use the Corkscew location... Knowing Victorinox, I don't think the frames of the tool are different.

(This image seems wrong with two OH blades)
Ah, they just cheaped out and recoloured the pic of the MXBS, by the looks of it....

Does this mean Vic might consider some kind of pocket clip for other products... like a SAK, perhaps?
The Swissqlip thing isn't exactly elegant, or cheap!

So why did they go for black? Won't it scuff and wear and, after a year, look as tatty as a wet cat that's been dragged through a hedge backwards?

I think it was because at first, it was for a military contract but, it came in both finishes from the start. There was a thread about it somewhere in here...

I hope that the pocket clip works on older models (mine's an XC from 2009); even still I've to wait as my "expendable budget" is out of whack these days... :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

Victorinox' black oxide isn't like Leatherman's. It's less dark, and a much smoother and thinner oxide layer. It appears to wear in a bit more gracefully.

https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/dutch-army-knife-dak-victorinox-1906274213 This is an example of a worn in swisstool. I don't think the scratches and wear look that bad.

Well, looks like I'll be selling my Wave, Charge, and Surge to be paying for one.

I like my SwissTool, and I love my Spirit XC, but the problem is that you can't open them with gloves on or one-handed. And they don't have pocket clips. Vs. my Wave, Surge, and Charge (as well as the Bond I lost, and the XC ended up replacing) that all use a universal pocket clip that I can swap between the three.

Problem is deciding which one. I like having both saw and file, which the XC has. I also like having the belt cutter blade. The XC has the butter blade, which is close. I'm probably going for the MX simply because the MXBS will definitely sell for a huge premium due to the BO.

A clip for my Swisstool is tempting (though the £20 price point, not so much  ::) ) but the OHO and clip for the spirit makes that MT far more tempting  :tu:

Anyone else feel like Leatherman just a significant amount of whatever edge they had over Vic MTs?

A clip for my Swisstool is tempting (though the £20 price point, not so much  ::) ) but the OHO and clip for the spirit makes that MT far more tempting  :tu:

Anyone else feel like Leatherman just a significant amount of whatever edge they had over Vic MTs?

I've had my B/O MXBS for about a year (courtesy of Elsinox  :hatsoff:) and it's superbly well made  :2tu:

The finish is not like my LM or other MTs, it is basically a mirror type finish and has shown no sign of wear  :tu:

If they did a Surge/SwissTool sized one it would be my ideal MT  :woohoo:

Now, pocket clip you say  :think: :ahhh
They don't like it up 'em!

That sounds really nice, coatings can be a bit... meh feeling though I haven't had a coated mT, just knives so far.

The design of the spirit is appealing, the Swisstool was always a bit big and cumbersome as a standalone option, but the smaller spirit, with a pocket clip and a nice coating... Dangerous  :ahhh

  Interesting tool. Maybe when finances improve I'll find one in silver.

  The clip took some digging. It is under Accessories. Have it ordered in the US, $20 with free shipping. :D  Thank you for the lead to the clip.

If this picture is accurate,then you would open one blade with your right hand but would have to open the second blade with your left hand.

You certainly couldn't open both blades with the same hand.

(Image removed from quote.)

Depending on the retention you could spydie flick it open, once you play around with a knife for a little it's easy and intuitive. Not the intended method, certainly, but it is doable and the split gives righties and lefties a blade each without needing specifically handed MTs.
