I do love that with Victorinox the key ring is still a "function" now promoted to a "tool" (which it still technically is a function but tool may be a step too far).

I really wish the corkscrew on the spartan was a Phillips. As an everyday carry tool, I don’t get it... but I’m a beer drinker so I guess I’m pretty biased.

I've had the white one for some time. It spends a lot of time in my Lenovo backpack that has a red lining. The handle is now tinted red. I haven't had this happen to anything else sitting in that backpack. Like the knife, don't like that the handle can stain like that. The larger beige G10-handled Bestech I have in another pocket with the same lining has not had this happen.

"this tool sports a shimmering, mirror-surface finish known as Polispectral. Hold it at different angles and the tools will appear to shift in color." They sell this exact same knife elsewhere for $20 just without the above special finish on the blades. Just wanted to point this out to others because I love the knife itself and the black casing rather than the typical red, but paying an extra $40 because "shiny" is just kind of wild (imo). Here's the amazon link for the cheaper non-color shift coated version: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007QCOCO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
BootsawyerBut this drop is all about the polispectral finish. If you only care about functionality, just buy the red one now for $22 (usually $25-$30) and stop reading. But if you feel everyone has the alarm-red handle, and you want something unique and maybe limited, the Polispectral finish on the shiny-almost-black blades and a black or white handle, this ups the special factor significantly. Maybe this is a safe queen for collectors or special social occasions, but then I wonder how fully Victorinox’ lifetime warranty covers it.

Evshrug"But this drop is all about the polispectral finish." Exactly. My point was moreso for people who would like a black casing, but don't really care about having a special finish because you can find the black casing elsewhere for a cheaper buy. When this drop came through last time, I was tempted to grab it because I really liked the black casing instead of the typical red and I was totally unaware that Victorinox made them in any other colors. My hang up was paying $60 for a tiny pocket knife because that seemed a little too much for my taste. After searching, I found the same knife for 1/3 of the price just minus the blade finish (which is exactly what I as a consumer was looking for - a cheaper price and black casing). I just wanted to make others aware who might've been in the same situation as me prior to dropping $60.

This is a great price for the spartan ps. It’s usually listed for around 80$ it still needs three more buyers as of now. I hope it goes through

The finish looks cool but its still cellidor plastic scales. I prefer the alox series (thinner and aluminum scales w ribbed texturing) and carry a cadet alox everyday as a secondary where as my 2 cellis sit in a drawer mostly. The cadet fits perfect in the coin pocket and is super light at like 1.6oz!
CdoyleI wonder if you could swap scales with an Alox model? But Victorinox May have pinned the scales in such a way to make them non removable, which would be too bad.

EvshrugThe pins can be drilled out and replaced with torx hardware and standoffs readily available so i would think so.

You realize if you weren't talking to him, no one else would be? You're giving him air-time; you should cancel his show ;- )

If it didn't have a corkscrew, I'd be on this. Alas.

He’d probably want a screwdriver instead.

Lanyard and key ring listed as a tool. Seems like a stretch there.

Sooooo… I had been wanting and holding back on getting this knife for years. You may have completely moved on, but I finally caved in and bought one. It’s subtle, but I like it! It isn’t iridescent or opalescent in any way, which would have been fun in a fantasy sort of way, nor is it inky like DLC (Diamond like coating, I had two friends who bought Apple Watches this way). No, it’s a mirror finish silver like most Victorinox steel knives, but it has a smoke gray tint. It is, in fact, an oxide film that is deposited onto the steel using an electro-chemical process. [image] Here it is showing the reflection of my front window and front lawn off of the large blade. It’s so reflective (no pigment like a car paint to make it unable to reflect in full color) that you might be excused for thinking it just looks like normal chrome in pictures, but I promise it’s darker. [image] The tint is more easy to see here, as it reflects my white iPhone case and white ceiling. Victorinox’ care and maintenance instructions do say that the finish would be polished away by resharpening, and wear and scratches would also remove the finish. The knife IS sharp and very functional, and I think a wear pattern from use and brightening along the edges from pocket wear would look cool, but honestly, this is probably more of a Safe-Queen and collector’s model than a typical user. Personally, I am not a whole-hearted knife collector, but I got this because it does give me aesthetic pleasure, and I want to show it to product managers as an example of a cool, unique finish that I think would be outstanding on a headphone (or pen, flashlight, money clip, etc). It’s subtle but unique. Me like-y.
