Hi Wayne,

I'm also looking at some cobalt blue scales.  Those look mighty nice.  I'm planning on swapping out handles on many of my red handled dupes (Climbers.)  I'm also thinking a "Compact Plus" is in my future.

Also,

I've been told that once you pop the handles off, you really can't use them anymore.  Is that your experience?

I just ordered me a Cobalt Blue and White scales both "Plus" models. Now to decide which knife gets the new clothes.

Well, I got my hunter green plus scales and and now have a Hunter Green Spartan Lite, Plus for my EDC.   Now if it had a nail file instead of a small pen blade, I could take my Midnight manager off my key chain. (But who am I kidding, I would still carry the MM, too!)

It took five minutes to swap out the handles.  I've never done it before but it is quite easy and if you are careful, the old handles won't break.  Along with the pressurized blue ink pen, I also have the little straight pin (not shown).  I also have the little screwdriver for eyeglasses which store in the corkscrew.  I love the Spartan lite frame mainly because it is the smallest 91 mm with the inline Phillips.  The white LED light is also handy. The Spartan Lite is similar to the Passenger which is an Explorer without the Scissors.

Shot Show Vics.  These just showed up in my face book feed from the LV shot show.

No the tweezers slot will not fit the ink pen. Best thing to do is find a set of Plus scales to replace yours. They can usually be bought for around $10 or so. Message me if you can not find a set as I have a couple of sources.

The Victorinox that was almost made especially for me: The Spartan Lite.

It hwas what I use all the time and doesn't have a bunch of stuff I don't use every day.  The inline Phillips is the real charm for me.  I've already got the little screwdriver for the corkscrew.  The only other thing I want is a pen.  Will the removable pen fit in the Tweezers' slot? (I don't really need them as I also always have an SD with me.)

This is just confounding, when you think about it.  the 91 mm is pretty much their flagship size with more option than most can imagine and it doesn't have a nail file blade like the Classic SD.   Am I the only at a loss for words over this?

I think the closet thing you might find is the 84mm Sportsman model with the small nail file instead of the small blade. 91mm models do not offer the small nail file replacing the small blade.
