Best praise vs top criticism for Victorinox SwissTool Spirit X
“Swiss tool spirit is one of my favorite multitools. Leatherman not so much these days.”
“Similar to my situation, ordered a black swisstool spirit early on and received a stainless swisstool spirit with the butter knife, but the box label said something like “black swisstool spirit” with the model number and the rest of the detailed description. Either this is a regular, shady thing to do OR whoever puts those labels on (especially over other labels; see top right picture two) is asleep on the job. Never ended up getting a black swisstool spirit as I’m finding companies less reliable over time to actually ship what you paid for, saves me a fortune as I wonder what do you actually need?”
