The 2 photos show blades located in different handles.

For example, the scissors and belt cutter are in the same handle in the bottom photo but in different handles in the top photo.

Good luck on the Vic response, I asked awhile ago if they could make a pocket clip for the RS or design one with a clip with no response.

Just got a reply back .....

 "Dear Mr Moore

 

Yes, you are absolutely right. The picture on our website doesn’t represent the current SwissTool 3.0326 with belt cutter. It is an old photo and will be replaced as soon as possible. Thank you very much for your information.

 

Yours sincerely


VICTORINOX

 

Quality manager

Executive Master of Business Excellence

Robert Elsener   "

cheers

The new photo shows the hard and soft wire cutter positions well when I zoom in on it.

I will try and explain this the best I can.The very first plier head they released is the one in the middle in the pic  ( note it has VICTORINOX cast into it) .


The next ones they introduced were the same size but had a different wire cutter and lacked the VICTORINOX wording . Please note that this second version is not pictured in the above pic . The two flanking the centre one are the latest versions which are very much like the Spirits ( but larger ) and have a lip that sits in a slot when the pliers are open . The earlier versions had flats that the springs sat on .Also if you look the pliers are handed the other way  ( with the slot the other side )


Then if that isnt enough there are some with the Victorinox word in a different place  ::)



And some with no writing on like the one Mr Elsener sent me .

Hope I havent confused you too much .Dont think anyone has noticed the awls changed too  ::) I'll save that one for later

Dunc, I just read your earlier post about all the different plier head variations.

It's gonna cost you a fortune to buy one of each!  ;D

(Admit it, you know you will!  ;))
