Very nice BO Spirit action Sire  :like:

I've done the below pics a bit more than a year ago to compare the reflection reduction of the BO Spirit with a BO Wave.

From left to right, BO Spirit > reg. Spirit...



Same position of tools and light source were kept.
From left to right, BO Spirit > BO Wave...



The BO Wave does appear to do the better job with no visible light hot spots.

I think the issue with the BO Spirit here is that the BO is done on a polished surface.

I personally like the looks of the Leatherman BO more.

 :iagree: The whole point of BO is to remove reflection. Unforutnately Vic is not doing a great job here  :-[

Thanks for the comparison, McStitchy  :salute:

That's absolutely true, but I think of it as more like black chrome.  I've never seen a cap crimper version before Sir V.  :drool:

I am undecided yet if I like the black oxide. It does not seem to be very deep, still a pretty decent reflection in the tool. I think I like Gerber's version better. Will see how it will hold up. What do you guys think about the BO?
Send it to me  :pok:
I'm pretty sure I'll love it  :whistle:

Does anybody know where to get one of the pocket clips for a Spirit. I seem to be striking out finding one in stock.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

Same issue here. I resolved to just wait half a year. They should be available then. Hopefully... :dunno:

TJ, SVL; It is my understanding that they should be available again this summer. It appeared that due to complaints of the binding bolt's head shearing off, production was halted; maybe a revised version will be available then? :think:

Just got my clip in today, no pics yet and haven't mounted it yet but I'm thinking about doing it tomorrow. I don't like clips unless it's on a flashlight but I will try this and se how it goes

If someone else are in a hurry and cut the plastic I advise you to not do it, it's a container for when the clip are not in use



I will have to fill out the logo with red



First impressions are really good

I have never been a fan of pocket clips if it's not on a flashlight but I might have changed my mind, victorinox really did a nice work with this one and I just love it. Been carrying it for a couple of days now and it sits nice in the pocket

The only i can say would be that I would prefer if the clip was on the other side, when having it in my left pocket the clip is ub the front and not in the backside
