Well, it's a replica of an old knife, anyway.

Can anyone tell me what the second blade does besides open bottles?





I had one like this that I lost in my 2018 fire but the second "blade" was designed to unscrew shotgun chokes. This long nosed blade is weird, not counting the bottle opener part.

The handles are super great looking, and the blade is razor sharp.

Punch or screw driver

I’d say to push pins out. As in to drop the trigger group on a clays gun.
Perhaps also to set or deactivate ejectors. I can’t recall off the top of my head where the settings were located on the older models.

All the ads for that design just say that the second blade is a bottle (some say a 'can') opener.

None mention the long slender nose of the second blade.
Seems like it is especially shaped for some task.

They were (maybe still are) called Beretta 'Copper Jack Knives' or 'Coltello Knives'.
I think Coltello (sp?) means Knife in Italian.

Beretta first made them or had them made for them in the 40's I was told. But I am not a knife person so take that for what it's worth.


Added..Just thinking..maybe the small but blunt point is for punching/piercing the top of some liquid filled cans for drinking .
One small one and then deeper to make a larger one opposite that both at the edge of the rim of the top of the can.
Like when Beer cans didn't have Pop-Tops...

Maybe it's a fisherman's knife with a tool for untying knots or working with nets? Maybe a rope splicing fid?

Interesting.

One thing it is not is a screwdriver. No screws I know about have odd shaped, rounded slots like on the nose of that blade.

I did find one use for it, however. Many of the new, flavored, sparkling water drinks that I like have very tight pop-tops. Instead of risking broken fingernails I just slip that dull blade under the pop-top, bend it a little, and VOILA! Easy to open!

Rescission -

I stand corrected. I checked it out and the tip is literally a tiny square. It might fit into something. Not a clue here, but I can see how it would turn the right "screw".

Okay, it's clearly a bottle opener so we can just stick to that.

To say it's a can opener implies that it works like a P-7 can opener or a P-38, and maybe it does, but I'm not trying it.

It being a replica of a 1940's knife,,maybe that long slender piece was originally a hook to pull separated hulls from the chamber of your SxS or O/U.
Paper hulls were all that were made back then and till the mid 60's.

They hold up fine. But will separate at the juncture of the brass and the paper hull quite easily after a reload or two especially if used in an Ejector gun. The hull can stick and the ejector snaps the brass head off and clear of the bbl's

Not much need for that hook on the tip anymore. Plastic hulls are quite reliable.

Maybe they just kept the long slender form and eliminated the functioning hook at the tip.

Just a guess of course.
