Is the Climber worth it over the Spartan?

Yes, if you will use scissors. The Climber adds scissors and a multi-purpose hook to the Spartan's tool set for a modest price step, at a small weight cost.

How does it compare to the Huntsman?

The Huntsman adds a wood saw and a file but is thicker and heavier. The Climber is the better pick if you want a slimmer pocket knife and rarely cut wood.

Does it have a locking blade?

No. All tools are slip-joint and do not lock, which is standard for this size of Victorinox knife.

Can the can opener drive Phillips screws?

Yes, the tip of the can opener's small screwdriver is shaped to fit Phillips screws, though it is best for light work.

What comes in the box?

The knife comes boxed. Engraving is available on the shield side, the back, and both sides of the main blade.
