I inherited one of these from my grandfather, mine is marked “WILBERT Cutlery CO.” I have the complete set of tools but the soft leather pouch is a bit worse for ware. I guess we will have to disagree about the function of that tool with the sort of hook I don’t believe that is meant to be a bottle cap remover it looks like some kind of guide like to scribe a line at a set distance? I wish I new for sure maybe more research. Maybe one of your viewers has more information. The concept this multi tool uses is quite interesting because you end up with a narrow/thin tool unlike a swiss army knife with an equivalent amount of tools.
Marketing materials called it a reamer and said it has a bottle opener which is what I based that off of. I was not aware that they sold them under the Wilbert cutlery name though that's definitely something I'll have to look into
@@todaysinsanity1241 I have the exact tools listed/shown in the the two ads you posted. The tool shown upper left which I have referred to as an awl I think is the reamer. The hook tool I now think that must be the cork puller ? So you maybe right that it is a bottle opener. Interesting enough that part of the tool is not shown in either of the ads. when that knife first hit the market there would still be a lot of small bottles with corks, maybe you would slide it between the rim and the cork and the turn the tool till the hook was under the cork and pull up ?
