Berretta Carbon Fiber folder -- Allen wrench size?

[Onehandclapping]

Hello everyone,

I got one perfect Berretta folding knife as part of a set I bought. It is new in an aluminum "clamshell" type box, not a single handling mark o it. My problem is the allen wrench it originally came with is missing. There is a place molded in the foam rubber inside the clam shell box where the allen wrench lives.

The funny thing about it is how Berretta answered my question about the allen wrench - they told me they didn't know what size it came with, unless I can tell them the model number of the knife -- I don't know this. I tried to tell them it is the Warren Thomas collaboration with a tanto blade about 3" long, but they still didn't know the model number. How many of these did they make? How many model numbers could there possibly be?

Well, the very nice woman I spoke with in customer relations told me she would send me a FREE allen wrench if I can tell her the model number of this knife. If anyone in the forum knows this number, or where I can go looking for it -- PLEASE pass it on to be. Like I told the nice lady -- it is the Warren Thomas collaboration with a tanto laminated blade (steel and carbon fiber), the blade being about 3" long I think; I can measure this if an absolute perfect number is needed to determine the knife's model number. I'd like to get the correct wrench to add to the package and make it as "real" as possible.

Thanks for the information. I know -- I can try my metric set of allen wrenches until the right one fits the pivot bolt, but I'd like to let Berretta give me a wrnch like the one it came with, same length and material, hopefully

Take care.

The knife is called the Avenger, and it's up on Beretta's website. Go to the knife section here Beretta Knives and select "Avenger and Electra". There's a whole bunch of numbers, don't know which is the model number.

Edit: while looking around, came across this model number: 71599. BTW, would you be interested in trading it?

That's wierd I bought one of the first ones and it didn't come with an allen wrench, If I'm not mistaken it takes 2 allen wrenches to adjust the pivot and I believe they were American Standard sizes.

Also one note of importance, sharpening the VG-10 is a PITA because of the single bevel two hings happen, the edge although very thin, if you devlope any deformation or chips is very hard to bring back to the original hair poppin' edge,(it takes time and an EdgePro helps a lot) and the CF from the laminated blade loads up your stones real fast.

Even with all it's problems it's one of my favorite EDC's when it's sharp. (They call it a Gentlemans Folder it is one mean lookin' knife, if I ever had to use it for SD I'd hate to have to explain to a judge and jury how a knife with a name like Avenger, made by a company that made guns was a Gentlemans Folder)

Might try BE-71599, it was the designation for the original Beretta Warren Thomas Avenger, or BER79682 if it is the new Avenger II. May or may not help since Beretta USA seems to have their own "internal" code numbers for things.
