Factory Goof?
on: June 24, 2017, 09:25:35 PM
Does anyone else carry what appears to be a factory error?  My Rebar has a second medium flat blade instead of an awl.  It shows no signs of having been apart so I suspect this one just slipped through QC.

roads blue. Now even the colors are changing. But in those brevities just before
dawn and a little after dusk — times neither day nor night— the old roads
return to the sky some of its color. Then, in truth, they carry a mysterious cast
of blue, and it's that time when the pull of the blue highway is strongest, when
the open road is a beckoning, a strangeness, a place where a man can lose
himself."   William Least Heat Moon

On the upside. You could probably make a little better, sharper pointed awl out of that extra flat, vs. the awl provided.

I have an unused awl next to the frequently used corkscrew on my Victorinoix Sparatan that's always in my pocket.  I consider the extra screwdriver a bonus! :D

I had a SideClip with a screwdriver that wasn't ground down- it was a raw piece of bar stock.

I think Duncan has it now.

That's a keeper. So lucky. I got a blade upgrade on my skeletool when I turned it in for repair. That's the closest I have.

I have a Gerber Diesel with 2 Phillips drivers. I always assumed it was a Friday toward shift's end factory production.

I have a numbered Midshipman that has an overcut marlin spike. Considering Victorinox perfection, I think of it as a rare misprint instead of a flaw.

The Diesel is ok.

Here it is...



What is missing is the larger flat screwdriver. Not a big loss personally.  :rofl:
