I have one that´s similar to the Spartan. It sits in a kitchen drawer and still serves well. I use for numerous tasks. The Victorinox can opener is superior to every other model I ever saw. I really like those Victorinx folders.
When my niece and nephew were born I bought a Victorinox for each of them. They´ll receive it when they´re old enough to handle it responsibly (maybe they can borrow it earlier when I have to babysit and little sister isn´t watching <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />).
