06 - Main blade defect

The main blade stops closing when the tip hits the metal divider. As a result, the blade, about 1 mm away from the tip, dulls more quickly, and the metal divider is slightly scratched. This is an inelegant solution to stopping the main blade, which many/most/all manufacturers have solved by placing a stop rivet that the non-sharpened "hinge area" (where "Wenger" is stamped on the metal blade) hits to prevent the blade from "bottoming out" and hitting the inside of the handle.
