Mick, I have a 4-"Roo"-Medallion Sorby rip saw with two nibs as well.

Take a gander: http://galootapalooza.org/Roosaw.htm

Why? I still believe that the nib was used to help locate the blade in a
jig during some point in the manufacturing process. Two nibs might be
handy if you want to locate the saw an inch fore or aft? Just a guess.
What do you other people think the nib is for? Duck. Run. Hide.

Cheers, Wes
