Is the Spartan worth it over the Climber?

The Climber adds scissors and a hook for a few dollars more. If you cut string, tape or packaging regularly, the Climber is the better buy; if not, the Spartan covers the basics.

Does the Spartan have a locking blade?

No. Both blades are slip-joint and rely on spring tension, so use it for light cutting rather than hard prying.

How does it compare with the Victorinox Tinker?

The Tinker is the same 91 mm size but swaps the corkscrew for a Phillips screwdriver. Choose the Spartan if you want a corkscrew, the Tinker if you want the Phillips.

Is it legal to carry in a pocket?

In most US states a 7 cm non-locking folder is fine for everyday carry, but local rules vary, especially in cities and on flights. Check your local law before carrying it.

Just the knife. No sheath, lanyard or pouch is included.

Our take on the Victorinox Spartan Pocket Knife

The Spartan is Victorinox's classic 91 mm Swiss Army Knife, with two blades, a can opener, bottle opener, scissors-free tool set and the familiar red Cellidor scales. It weighs 59 g and carries a 7 cm stainless steel blade at 56 HRC, so it holds an edge well for light everyday cutting. At $34 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026, it sits near the low end of its usual range, which tends to run from the high $20s to the low $40s. Only two stores price it new, so the spread between them is narrow.
