Is this common? First time I'm seeing it so I was mildly surprised.

My two new-ish Rangers and my 10-or-11-year-old Ranger all have the same cutout, and I'm not sure you could get at the chisel without it.

Your knife looks like a Spartan, and I don't currently have any Spartans of my own for hands-on comparison. However, I just performed an interweb computotron search, and found many examples of Spartans of different ages with the same cutout.

Not every picture I found has it, though.

Models with the hook located next to the corkscrew do not appear to have the cutout.

It’s there on my Spartans, but until it was mentioned I’d never consciously noticed :think:

Is this common? First time I'm seeing it so I was mildly surprised.

I've noticed that eons ago...
Mainly (maybe only) the 2 layer 91mm Spartan and Tinker have it, cause there is no other tool or spring in the way.
Quite frankly, while i understand why they put it there, to me it makes zero difference to the models that doesn't have that cutout. The liner without the cut doesn't get in the way at all

Regarding the back awl ease of opening, i keep getting puzzled to why so many people struggle a bit to open it...
They keep trying to "pull" the awl out with two fingers when they should be "flicking" the awl out with one finger.

For me it's probably the easiest tool to open on a 91mm sak, and surely the most fun to open as well  :tu:

EDIT:

On the Ranger and models that have the chisel it has the cut on the chisel layer because it would be very hard to get to the nick without it. But if you notice, on those models there is no cutout on the awl layer...
