I'm going to join in on this one but I'll tell you, I'm not pleased about how the price of Spirits has doubled in the past 10 years.  I would carry a Spirit a lot more if I had an MX with the OHO blade, but I haven't been able to pull the trigger on a new one.  I guess I'm just spoiled.  :dunno:

I am thinking about missing the PST challenge in November.  It is bothering me, but I have done that before and this 60 day Spirit challenge is brand new, so... :dunno:

I have too Alan.  It'd be good to have you!  The Spirit is a completely different animal!
I love the PST.  It's actually what brought me to MTO.  It's a basic tool set in a very carry friendly package.  At one time, it was the only multi tool I had. 
I'd like to see Vic play with different style pliers heads like Gerber does.  A blunt nose Spirit would be interesting.

Hmm...great.  I didn't even realize there's a PST challenge in November.  I haven't done either one.  I suppose the PST one will come up again though.

The hardest part about carrying a Spirit for me is that I never want to carry a SAK with it since it already has all the tools.  That's a good thing and a bad thing; I carried the Spirit a lot when I did the traditional knife challenge this year and always felt prepared.

The Spirit almost ruins it for the SAK folks, doesn't it Barry?  :dunno:

I’m of the mindset the Spirit helps certain SAKs really shine, like pairing it with an Explorer, Waiter, Rally, or MC… or even an Alox Pruner. 

Just carrying a LM or Spirit isn’t enough for me. I need a SAK to level out the tool kit and be prepared even if it’s a 58mm.

:iagree:

Both my spirits have the butter blade so I like to carry another slim SAK (Compact works well) or a SE knife, whether trad, folder, fixie or whatever

I have 1 butter blade and 1 SE. I’m excited for this challenge in part to get a better sense of which one I use more.  And for the Spirit/SAK combos.

My Butter blade is a Serrated Edge and the spear point version is a PE.

Do you have a Spear Point that is a SE?
And a Butter blade that is a PE?

I thought I had both variants of the spirit X.

Ps: I do have a Spartan with a SE!
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

 :oops:  not serrated, I meant plain edge. I was probably wishing the spear point has a serrated version like the Spartan.

It is a conundrum, but not necessarily a bad one.  A small 84mm or 2-layer, or traditional all do pair nicely though.

I don’t mean no disrespect, but that’s the way it is (hopefully you’ve seen Goodfellas).

I bit the bullet and now have an MX Clip.  I don't know how to be more ready for this challenge.

Sweet combo, NutSAK :like:

As much as I have been looking forward to this one, October is going to be crazy busy for me and I cannot participate after all. I might end up joining you for 30 days in November though. Best of luck champs :salute:

I'm going to be out of pocket for the next week starting tomorrow morning. There will be limited or no internet access.  I may be able to read my mail once or twice a day but may not have enough signal to be able to post pictures.  I'll know more when I get set up when I get there.
