Does anyone else own the swiss army spartan knife?

It's good for opening bottles and cutting. I think they've been reduced in price since I bought one off amazon.co.uk

I've two spartans.
The top one is retired (22 years old and broken), the newer one is 10 years old.

Notice the difference: 20 years ago there were no toothpick and tweezers on the spartan.

Permanently in the top pocket of my rucky.
It's black so I added bright blue cord to the ring in case I drop it. Had it for (wow) 10 years or so and it is just ace. No saw, scissors or other stuff, just a knife that opens wine, beer and beans. I mean, what more do you want??

I put mine on gift it on when I bought the new pioneer (rebranded alox soldier), good knife the Spartan, nice non-fussy spec and has the all important drinking implements too! Gets my vote:)

I've carried a Spartan or Tinker in my pocket for over 30 years. When I wear one out I'll buy one or the other as a replacement, depending on which one is available at the time.
These are great little knives. I'd be lost without one as I use it daily.

i've got two of them,one i bought second hand,written economy on the blade,and no tweezers,i carry almost forgottent in my backpack,as a backup,and a new one with tweezers at my working trousers belt!
they've got everything,if you don't need a saw,scissors,or you have them separately,plus a hatchet to wack some wood,and you can face anything!

I've have one in my pocket for the last 3 years or so, even if I have another "better" knife, the Spartan still gets carried. The toothpick is indispensable :D
