    Broke the blade on my SAK! Help!

    I have a couple of Victorinox Swiss Army Knives, which I a) use alot, and b) really like.

    Tragedy has struck, in the form of breaking the end off my Champ. I've owned this guy for a few years, and really like it!

    I know there are some knife-heads(?!) on here, and wondered if one could point me at where I might be able to buy a replacement blade.

    Pic for sympathy.

    You can send it to victorinox to fix or drop it into the London store.

    Takes 3 - 6 months apparently. I was told £10ish

    Otherwise AliExpress is the answer to most questions

    London store or via Burton McCall. Might be free or a few quid if damage caused by misuse.

    I’ve sent a couple to burton McCall and only had to pay the postage.
    Are you capable of replacing it yourself, if so I think I have a couple of tools that can be used as spares.

    I'm assuming by that break that this model doesn't have a screwdriver..!

    Try them direct, they may fix I or replace it for

    My Gerber was maybe 15yo, no receipt and the blade snapped. They sent me a new one free

    I would email them first to see what they say, I would not be shocked if they fixed it for free.

    Its not a good look for them to have an ugly SAK knocking about

    I took mine in to McCall with a broken blade and got it returned as sent due to no spares available.

    I think Gerber have a lifetime guarantee.

    Hope it gets sorted.

    The file blade was broken on my old Leatherman. Sent it back, file replaced and whole unit cleaned FOC.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    I broke a scale on a 10 year old Swiss champ about 15 years ago.
    Took all the bits and bobs out and sent it to Burton McCall in Leicester.
    Scales replaced and returned with a new needle, toothpick, tweezers and pen.
    Lifetime warranty I believe.
