Interesting cutout on the can opener blade - I wonder if it was created to suit a specific purpose or just a common size for tightening nuts. I always get the idea from modern EDC makers that they were first to come up with this idea, and its nice to be reminded (again) there is nothing new under the sun.

It is called a "Presto-Lite" key tool David. It was used on carbide auto headlights. Which helps date this Weck too.

That square hole is for adjusting carbide lamps. (beat to it...)

It's a lamp key... uhhhh... I guess I'm too slow too.

Very cool.

Wow Gary! Very nice!

Thanks, James. I got a good one, and the fact that our member @ea42 hafted it, makes it all the better.

dcpritch , I love the knives you've posted, David! A great collection!

This photo is one of the sharpest in focus I've seen in a long time, and a gorgeous knife, too!

Haha, you're way ahead of me!

David! A great collection!

Thank you very much, but as I see the wonderful knives flood across the pages of this thread I realize I'm just a piker, like a high school ball player sitting in the stands at a major league game watching how the pros do it. I'm thoroughly enjoying myself!

I will echo Gary's words David. Your collection is mind - blowing in its content. I always enjoy seeing them.
