anyways, decided to pic up a new vic spartan from mec for edc and walkin about.

here are some pics and specs enjoy :)

Product Description:
The Spartans were perhaps the ultimate minimalist, go-light outdoors folk. They knew a thing or two about surviving in the wilds. This namesake knife reflects the same philosophy - nothing extraneous is supplied, nothing essential is missing.
91mm.
Large blade.
Small blade.
Corkscrew.
Can opener with small screwdriver.
Bottle opener with screwdriver and wire stripper.
Reamer / sewing awl.
Key ring.
Tweezers.
Toothpick.

First Impressions:

The Spartan is nice and light and very compact being a 91mm model Swiss Army knife. As the description says it is very simple and minimalist however fits the bill for most edc requirements for me on a day to day basis. The knife is sharp but not shaving sharp but still cuts very well.

Cheers,

JC
 
That's the first time I've ever seen that site, looks neat. What's the deal with them shipping to the US? Worth it/pricey/no dice?

Edited: Just found their shipping info, looks like way too much $/effort..
 
spooky your most likely better off purchasing from the states...

or... asking a local forumite to pick something up for you that you like and then ship it to you after :D

cheers
 
Bought a Spartan for a girlfriend of mine 20-odd years ago. Nice little knife with plenty of useful features.
 
I got a free Spartan from my mobile carrier recently as last years loyalty bonus :) Makes a nice little EDC.
 
you should keep an eye on vaude bags as well offered through taiga.

absolutely awesome bags :)
 
That corkscrew feature is important for those occaisions when one gets stranded on a desert island with a bevy of supermodels and 200 cases of champagne! :eek:

UPDATE:

i used the spartan today to pare an apple. The large blade on the spartan works ok but what i was really impressed with was how much control i got with the smaller blade on the spartan. i was able to get clean thin cuts with the small blade on the whole apple.

cheers
