Is the swiss tool handle offset like this?
on: February 05, 2017, 03:06:24 AM
I just bought a swiss tool (not spirit) from eBay and wonder if the handle is meant to be offset in this way?  It doesn't look like it's broken, as it would be pretty weird way to be misaligned like this, but it is quite unexpected.  Thanks.

Yes they are supposed to be that way.  I have a Swisstool from 1999 and mine are the same way. I feel that for a right handed guy is kind ergo the way my hand wraps around the handle. One side higher than the other is comfortable for me.
