Handle scale that is.
This is the third one in a couple year period that got dropped from about waist hight onto a hard floor. In this case the kitchen floor which is tile. And of all the SAK's, it was a friggin classic. The lightest weight SAK there is. And it broke the exact same place that the tinker did, the back side scale and about a third of the scale broke off clean on a line where the material changes to paper thin. The hollowed out cellidor crap that Victorinox is saving a few cents on by making the stuff with thinner cavities.
I super glued the broken off piece back, but my feelings for Victoriox is never going to be the same. I have enough alox models that I will never again bother with the cellidor, if I even stay with Victorinox. My Leatherman squirt is capable of taking over any duties the small SAK's do and I'm getting really pissed at how Victorinox is shaving pennies by cheapening the product. Heck, in the old days I got by very well with a Buck stockman in my pocket, a Sear's 4-way keychain screw driver on my keyring, and P-38 in my wallet. My old Wenger SI saw me through the last years of my army time and a few decades of being Harry homeowner and soccer dad. It got beat up pretty good over the years with no ill effects.
Victorinox needs to either go back to the solid cellidor or abandon that crap entirely and go to FRN or delrin, or some other better plastic that isomer durable.
