Huzzah! Thank you for confirming my suspicion about my flat lever Stanley! I recently posted a video about it and one of my viewers sent me the link here! Huzzah! 😁👍😉
I can't help but wonder if there was some sort of debate at Stanley about moving to the triangular-profile levers because it was more likely that it would "not quite" lay flat (if the lever gets bent or someone boned up making it, for example). In practice, I've found that "mostly flat" suffices for this feature because it only needs to clear the thickness of the wood in use if the lever is facing down. I suppose this also applies to where the adjuster is at the end of the stock, thinking of the ones I have from Shinwa and Stanley.
