Swisstool question

[DavidBinVT]

I remember reading somewhere that Victorinox refered to the handles on the swisstool as being "ergonomic" or something to that affect, well yesterday I was just checking out the tool after some hard usage and notice that the side of the handles are offset, one side is slightly higher that the other one, after first I thought it was a defect but it's made the same way on both handles, when holding it in your right hand the high part hits the middle of your fingers and the other lower part to the rest of your fingers....am I making sense? I am gathering this is made into the design so it best fits your hand, feels kinda weird in your left hand though, anyone want to confirm this so it's not just my tool. thanks

David, reading your post got me curious so I pulled mine out of my lab coat and checked it out. Yep, mine's the same way...never noticed it before.

and I thought it was maybe just mine and I got a messed up one Good to know that it's not. Maybe it's Vic's way to make it more confortable in your hand, but as I said, in you left hand it isn't as comfortable.

I checked mine, ditto narco 99. I never noticed it before either. You got a sharp eye for detail David.
