DAY 7I thought I'd show off a rather old clone of German origin. It looks just like the pricey new Soldier that came out. I didn't pay $500 smackers--I paid $25 I think.It is completely unstamped, but a recent thread on another forum showed two knives that were somewhat different cosmetically, but otherwise identical. The stamps on those knives were "STUMP" and "SENTA". https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=74706&p=1013703&hilit=clone#p1013703(Image removed from quote.)Seems to be pretty close to 91mm. Tourist and 1970-73 Standard for comparison. (Image removed from quote.)
Me too CM. It's amazing how these knives literally do disappear in your pocket. I'm enjoying my time with the Spartan. I did the Minimal SAK Challenge years ago in the hopes of trying out my new to me '96 SI. I also rotated in a Spartan and Tinker. Guess which one I really liked? . I haven't had a need for scissors or anything else tool wise to this point.
I’ve only really missed scissors once so far when cutting a difficult tag of new clothes for one of my kids. Otherwise it’s been fine. Under normal circumstances I usually find the 58mm scissors to be more than enough. The 91mm are really nice but are overkill for me most of the time.
I think I started carrying scissors on a knife when my kids were little to cut straws so they didn't poke their eyes out. That was years n years back yet I clung to the convenience of that quick snip. Outta the Ol' Pueblo
Day 6 (so far...)I'm carrying the 70s Spartan/Standard again today since it didn't get any use yesterday. It needs another chance to shine!
Sounds like several of us had a slow SAK day.
