Hi I'm Kevin and I live in the market town of Bishop Auckland in the UK. I have just starting collecting swiss army knives and should be receiving my first knife which is the Spartan in red.

    Red Spartan.  Great place to start.  Also, a great place to stop before you fall down a rabbit hole.  Since you mentioned the nasty word 'collect', you probably won't stop there.  Tell us, Kevin, do you carry a pocketknife now?  Be sure to take a photo of your nice new Spartan when you get it.  We love pictures. 
     It is a friendly place here.  Lots of nice folks.  Lots of interesting posts.  Best wishes.  Gary (IMR)
