it's good no MacGuyveresque scenarios arose in the meantime!

my mini "Classic" model broke a while back. Yes, Swiss Army Knives can break, altho' technically it was just the spring in the scissors.

well, actually, the hinge where the blades attach is kind of sprung, too, so it won't close. Just yesterday I finally got around to ordering

a replacement via Amazon. I'm going with the larger but still simple Ambassador model.

probably get another Classic eventually, as well, seeing as how all the kool kidz, or at least you, zannah, and dblume seem to carry TWO.
