It looks like the little plastic toothpick in my new Wenger Swiss Army Knife is broken. The head broke off, and now the plastic is stuck in the slot. I should probably send it to warranty repair, but meanwhile this brought up a question:
Can I disassemble my knife? And if so, how? And if I did, I suppose I’d void the warranty!:eek:
A few pocket knives I’ve seen are assembled with threaded fasteners, but almost all use a sort of rivet. On some the rivets can be driven out and reused, but on most I’ve looked at it appears that it would be difficult to do so. I think you’re right about the warranty, it would be pretty obvious if it were worked on without some special tooling and replacement rivets.
As I recall, the toothpick slot is between the plastic and the body of the knife. I don’t think there is any way to remove the plastic without destroying it. If you can see the top of the toothpick, you could try drilling a tiny hole in it, and threading a small screw into the hole, then pulling it out. Your friendly neighborhood Printer Circuit board manufacturer will have drills small enough.
