I recently bought a Charlet Moser ice screw via mail order. When it arrived I found that the lovely grained spiral finish on the shaft between the handle and the actual corkscrew bit had a sort of flat bit where it had not been finished. This hasn't affected the overall shape of the barrel, and I suspect that it is just a finishing error. If anyone actually understands what I mean, as I am lacking the correct terminology to describe the thing, I would be interested to know if they think that this is likely to be a problem, is it cosmetic, or even is it meant to be there?

In reply to Lucy: Lucy,the flat bit is just the way the screw is machined and won't effect the performance.Most of my screws,of differing makes,have this 'flat bit'.

In reply to Phil K:
Thankyou!

In reply to Lucy: I'd agree with phill there lucy. My c.h screws have to but as long as the teeth bite well and the thread is deep enough to hold well then fear not.

In reply to Lucy:
They are lovely aren't they, but I'll tell you what, when you are scared and pumped stupid they are not nearly as lovely as BD Expresses!

have fun
