The Swiss Tool Spirit has all the great tools you'd want in a toolbox but in a pocket-sized knife. Its high-quality stainless steel implements are designed to withstand extended use. The Swiss Tool Spirit features locking blades and individual springs hold other tools in place so you can access one tool at a time. All implements can be opened from the outside of the handle without opening the pliers. Includes leather pouch and lifetime warranty.

I bought my first Spirit X in 2012 to compare to other multi tools I had bought from Leatherman and Gerber. The locking blades on the Spirit were the first thing I noticed. I always disliked the fact that the Gerber and the Leatherman's blades wouldn't lock, making them unsafe when applying any amount of force. Then I found that you could deploy the tools on the Spirit without opening the pliers, another plus compared to the others. I used the Spirit at work as a fiber optic cable splicer daily for 5 years without a failure. I carry this tool with me every day and have been doing so for over 10 years. It has literally performed thousands of functions for me both at work and at home. Since my original purchase I have bought four more as gifts. The only complaint I have is the Velcro on the leather pouch doesn't secure the tool well. I installed a heavy duty snap on the pouch to remedy that. Perhaps Victorinox could do the same?
This is probably the nicest multi tool I’ve purchased yet. I’m seriously impressed. It’s surprisingly compact and has all the right tools. The fit and finish is spot on and it feels good in the hand when in use. Hats off to Victorinox.
I own a squirt ps4, a Juice S2, Wave, previously a Surge(too heavy), and now this tool, out of all of them, this one has the best fit and finish, it is more slender than the leatherman wave, and it is also lighter. Only complaint is I wish the scissors opened wider so that I can sharpen them if I ever needed to.
