- How does the Spartan differ from the Climber?
- The Climber adds scissors in a third layer. The Spartan is thinner and lighter but has no scissors.
- Does the blade lock?
- No. It is a slip-joint folder, so the blade stays open by spring tension only. Use it for cutting, not prying.
- What is in the box?
- The knife itself with its standard tools: large and small blades, corkscrew, can opener with small screwdriver, bottle opener with large screwdriver and wire stripper, reamer, toothpick, tweezers and key ring.
- Is it legal to carry?
- It is a non-locking folder with a 7 cm blade. Check your local knife laws, since rules vary by country and city.
- How do I keep the blade sharp?
- The steel is 56 HRC with a 20-degree grind. A few passes on a fine stone or a Victorinox-style sharpener restores the edge.
- Can I replace the scales?
- Yes. Victorinox replacement scales are available, and worn or cracked scales can be swapped without special tools.
