It's a shame to buy a quality tool, with the one tool being unfinished, GunGeek. ... I always carried the smaller Swiss Pocket knife with the Philips screwdriver on it, rather than the one with a 'corkscrew', as I was a Working Yanker' = Not a Wino Yanker. ... Handy, knife to have in a pinch, without having to search the toolbox for a particular tool. ... A knife with a 'bottle opener' is a 'must have' for the Canuck, that travels the world utilizing the 'Beer Map' of the world.
I have seen a lot of SAK since I got my first one back, and I have never seen one with a mistake/defect. Like a misprinted stamp this one might just be worth more to a collector than an ordinary perfect example. Proof that even the Swiss can make mistakes.
Totally unexpected. Based on the "How Its Made" TV show showing the factory and QC process, I thought Victorinox was incapable of making a dud. I can just imagine a Swiss troglodyte forcing the screwdriver down in order to get it to fit into the box. 😂 "The knives just never stop coming..."
@@Gungeek Don't give the Swiss a pass...they've been using "Swiss Precision" as a marketing tool for the last 100+ years. All their stuff: Banking, Watches, Sewing Machines, WEF, Chocolate, Alpen Resorts, Machine Tools, Firearms, etc. - marketed as first class products & services you can aspire to - if only you could dig a little deeper ($$$). So the SAK is a inexpensive knife but the cat is still out of the bag - Victorinox's inattention threatens the whole Swiss economic narrative...the only way they can make it right is by sending you a complimentary 125th Anniversary 1897 Soldiers Knife.😁
I've had ones that have a tight fit on some tools, including the bottle opener and can opener and will scratch each other up a bit. But not one that has an unfinished tool.

might be best to leave it lol
If it is genuine as you indicate an anomaly like that might be worth a lot to a dedicated collector. It's rare after all .
did another video to show more detail of it.
That one went by as the inspector was finishing his Swiss Cheese and Lingonberry sandwich.
hahaha i think so :)
It's odd to me, but I'd buy one at that price. Especially since it's about 30 seconds with a bench grinder from functioning just fine.
might just leave it if its uncommon lol
Maybe contact them and send them this video?
i guess i could, see what they say.
looks like you bought a knockoff
how can you tell?
@@Gungeek I've got dozens of Victorinox knives, some from the 70's, I have never seen what you've got here, doesn't look legit to me.
@@ringaleavo i didn't even show enough detail, i guess i need to make another video lolol
