I've had it since about 2013, so I think its the older model. I wish they would add the screwdriver tip like o the Classic.My blue Cadet is almost always in my pocket. I love the little thing. I notice the mail file on yours is different. Is that a newer or older model.
Great Texaco gas station picBrought a Climber on the trip to see my dad. Been using it quite a bit doing stuff around the house for him.View attachment 2156816
It’s next to Dad’s house. My buddies Grandad bought it when he came back from WWII, worked it for years until another buddy bought it about 20 some years ago and continues to run a repair shop out of it. He’s got some vintage stuff inside and outside so a lot of people come by with old cars to take pictures of it. Here’s one from our front yard about 50 years ago. The good looking lad on the right is me!!!!!!Great Texaco gas station pic
Does it have a special meaning??

Pretty much my whole youth revolves around that gas station. Including drinking a few beers inside after my buddy would close up on a Friday nightThanks for that Jim, I was just transported back to my youth![]()
My new Spartan. I need to get some use on that wood to give it some character and darken it. It's almost camo when sitting on my desk.
One thing I instantly noticed compared to my Alox SAK's is the weight. This thing seems so might lighter. Almost fragile in comparison. My only other SAK's are two Alox's and a One Handed Trekker.
