Branching into Wenger

Up until recently, Crumby's sak collection consisted exclusively of Victorinox knives. But recently, Crumby "won" a Wenger Champ on EBAY.  Crumby especially wanted a Wenger with a magnifier since he already has four Victorinox with magnifiers.

By the way, here's how to pronounce Victorinox.   Week-tor'-e-nox.

It's similar to:   The children of the night; what beautiful music, they, make.

But when Crumby's Wenger arrived,  the glass in the magnifier proved to be cracked, rendering a fairly useless magnifier almost entirely useless.  If you magnify, huh-huh, the image below, you can see the crack in the miniscule magnifier.  It's  J-shaped.

But the scissors on Crumby's Champ also were defective.  The screw holding the scissors together consistently worked loose as the scissors scissored.  Not good.

So Crumby had to open a case, which is what an average person does on EBAY when the received goods are not as described; i.e., broke. However,  the vendors were especially accommodating.  Yes.  Those particular vendors not only refunded all Crumby's money, including postage, they let Crumby keep the knife, too.  What a deal!

Happily, Crumby may have fixed the scissors.  That's why, if once again the picture below is magnified, an overabundance of Loctite, plus some Rodico,  may be espied upon the scissor's blade.  Hope that Loctite works.  Hope we can acquire a replacement lens too.  Unlikely that.
