SwissTool Case Difference

February 24, 2012, 01:26:44 PM
For the folks who track changes to the tool line. I bought a SwissTool BO just last weekend. And while I was looking it over closely along with the black nylon case. I noticed the case snap had the lettering "CYPRUS" stamped into it on the inside portion. I compared it to the same style case my SS SwissTool came with and it is plain. Next came to open/close/open/close etc., test. I came to the conclusion that the CYPRUS stamped snap opened a bit easier than the non-stamped tool. That is all.

Wow, good catch Valvestem
Thanks for pointing it out. Were there any other changes in the case, or the tool itself?

I don't know if there were any changes in the tool(s), one was the SS version the other the BO. They are both identical, except for the finish. But I can discern no other differences between the cases, with the exception of the inner snap.

I know it is just a small difference/change, but some folks like little things like this, and wonder why. That is me. Sort of like maker's marks on firearms, little nuances that may mean a lot.
