The trouble with the BO finnish is when the tool is new you don't want to scratch it but once it gets a few marks on them it doesnt look spoilt in any way . Does yours have a waxy kind of feel to it ?

Dunc

Only if you are a tart.

yeah it did... kinda chaulky feeling (the tools at least)... it really annoyed me so i got some 1000 grit sandpaper and worked them over to my liking. the only tools that did not get that treatment were the saw and the file.
the scales/ handles had a completely different feel. very smooth... very shiny. based on my use it looks like the BO on the tools is not as durable as the BO on the scales.

I was taking pics for my blog and thought I'd share them:

nice shots

good pics... especially the pins.... they turn or loose the BO finish rather quickly.

Hi guys, great forum. Amazed by the amount of stuff you've all accumulated!

Anyway, my membership to the 'Spirit Owners Club' is currently pending. Waiting for a lovely new Spirit 'S' in black oxide to arrive!!! I ordered it from Tim at Felinevet purely based on the feedback from you all that I saw on the forum during my time lurking.

Quick question, for those in the UK that have bought from Tim, how long do things normally take to to arrive??

Welcome to the forum

Most stuff from Tim should be here in about a week , but I think theres a bit of a postal strike going on over here at the moment so It may take a few days longer .

Hull_ n_Back · **Reply #308 on:** September 23, 2009, 10:28:49 PM

Forgot about that, should really pay more attention to the news. Just have to wait I suppose...

Benner · **Reply #309 on:** September 23, 2009, 10:30:19 PM

Like Dunc said, a week is normal but I with last weeks strike things are very delayed. I am still waiting for something that should have been here a weeks ago.

Welcome to MTO

rp252 · **Reply #310 on:** September 24, 2009, 12:49:59 AM

Most of my orders have taken about 2 weeks to arrive, but some of them have been much quicker. More importantly tim always sends things reliably and well packed. He has some of the best prices out there. Great guy to deal with

Spirit S is a great MT. Prepare to want to collect them all

Sazabi · **Reply #311 on:** September 26, 2009, 06:42:43 PM

I have a Spirit X now on my belt, well, okay, it's the Plus model with Ratchet, but who's paying attention anyhow?

I must say the Spirit feels better in my hands than even a Juice, which is saying something because the Juice models feel amazing. o.o; On the note of the Juice comparison, though, my handles are a bit offset from each other, noticeable at the jaws and more pronounced at the locks; it's slight, but definitely noticeable to my eyes.

Still, it's an amazing multitool. o.o

We are having a party at my house tonight for my Father in laws 65th Birthday

Tonight I'm EDCing My BO Spirit S .So far its opened quite alot of bottles

I think its the right choice , I think the Wave would have been a bit ott and the Spirit is more discreet .Much more a Gentlemans EDC

The Spirit is truly the Gentelman's multi . I have the corkscrew adapter for mine , just the thing for Toffish garden parties ! Not wishing to reignite the Vic vs Leatherman thing , but the bottle opener on the Spirit is much superior , single stroke positive action .

How many of you guys have the corkscrew ? Just got mine , it reeks of quality , and is a good solid fit to the tool . Swiss engineering down to the details , if only they would learn to bead or vapour blast their drivers !!!! And give us a shaggin pocket clip !

Here's a little story for you, my friend.

It takes place years ago, in Roma. I'm in the living room, thinking about getting a Swisstool Spirit. Ebay, very good price, the decision is made: I order one, with a beautiful leather sheath. Then I go back to the living room. And I wait. I wait. I wait so much I forget about it! The shop I ordered it from was in Vermont, which is far from here - sure - but it's not on Jupiter!!! November comes, my birthday is in a few days, I can't wait any longer, so I get out of the living room (!) and drive to a shop, buy a Spirit (full italian price, that's a lot!) and happy as a kid I show it to everybody as a newborn child. Then december comes... and the Spirit I ordered from Vermont knocks on my door! I'm sure you can imagine how happy and surprised I was. I gave it to my brother, as a christmas present.

Now, if you really can't wait, don't torture yourself. Go outside, buy one and play with it until you get the first one. This way you'll have two and if you want, you can give one to your brother. And if you don't have a brother, you can give it to mine. So he'll have two and will probably give one to his brother. Me.

I have the corkscrew. I wish I had two or three, just in case. It just works. It does. I've opened hundreds of bottles of wine with it and it never failed once. Chapeau to Switzerland and its people, masters of steel.

Delivery is pretty slow ATM. Something I got today was sent about 2.5 weeks ago if that's of any help.

DaveK · **Reply #323 on:** October 01, 2009, 02:16:06 AM

Some things have been quick - some taking ages (in and out). I haven't spotted any pattern other than everything takes too long.

Hull_ n_Back · **Reply #324 on:** October 01, 2009, 03:09:00 PM

It'll take as long as it takes I suppose, doesn't make it any easier though.

Tim posted it on the Monday of last week so I've got a while before I start panicking

I think the wife is getting seriously annoyed with me though. I'm ringing her every few hours while I'm at work, asking 'any post???'

Styerman · **Reply #325 on:** October 01, 2009, 03:21:18 PM

It's true torture , hope it ends well for you !

Could easily be another week yet, so no need to worry yet.
