      Comments about Swiss Army Spartan:

      I have used a Spartan for many years now and have replaced it twice. Not because they break, but because my friends borrow them and never return them. The blades are sharp and hold an edge well. I've gutted deer, cleaned pheasants, fish etc. The cork screw is excellent. They do not rust, and Victorianox has excellent service if you do ever break or bend something. I have used the canopener, bottleopener many times. I'm buying my 3rd one, because, well, I lent it out again, and it wasn't returned.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Perfect

        Comments about Swiss Army Spartan:

        I hiked the AT last year, and I saw a wide variety of knives out there. Most knives worked well, but honestly, for 90% of the hikers out there, you need a knife for very few things.

        1.) Beer bottle opener. Yes, I said it.
        2.) Cutting the bear line you got caught in a tree.
        3.) Getting something out of your teeth or pulling out a splinter.

        That's it. I even find the corkscrew to be extraneous, but maybe some hikers like wine better than beer. All told, this knife is sturdy and super light. If you're bringing a knife for bear protection into the wild, you're an idiot. A knife, no matter what size, isn't going to do you much good (unless it's two ft. long). That said, and I am sorry for being gruff, this knife gives you everything you need and at an acceptable weight for you ultra-light hikers.

        This thing lasted me the full 2,176. I loved it and I still use it today.

          Comments about Swiss Army Spartan:

          I've used this knife for just about every use imaginable and have never had a problem. The blades stay sharp and sharpen well when I sharpen them. It is one convenient tool to have on a camping trip, whether cutting rope, food, or just whittling. Although I don't think I've ever actually used the corkscrew, every other component of the tool has come in very handy.

            Comments about Swiss Army Spartan:

            I have owned several different kinds of Victorinox Swiss Army knives. I have traveled the world for over thirty years. This configuration is all that anyone needs; most of the other add on features just add weight. I must have bought at least ten of this version for myself and six as gifts for companions. I have bought so many because they get lost, stolen, or taken by security at the airport.

            Spend the extra $ and upgrade

            Pros

              • Corkscrew broke
              • Dulls Quickly
              • Too difficult to open

              Best Uses

              • Day Trips

              Comments about Swiss Army Spartan:

              I would spend an extra $10 and upgrade to a better quality tool. It's nearly impossible to open the tools on this Swiss and the corkscrew broke off halfway when I tried to open a bottle of wine.

              Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

                The sparton is a great knife. The only thing that could make this better would be a woodsaw.
