Dropped it on a cement floor at work and that was all she wrote. You can see the plastic ring that broke off around one of the rivets (don't know the real name) so popping the scale back on wasn't a option. I'm gonna look for a donor scale on that sight but probably will have to buy a whole knife. This might be a chance to add some scissors to this knife but I don't how much work that is.
 
If the rest of the scale isn't shattered, you can likely just put a drop of super glue on each pivot and just hold it together with your fingers or a clamp until it dries (a minute or so). Have done that with a couple of my SAKs. BTW, these are just as good a quality knife IMHO as Victorinox or Wenger. Give it a try, nothing to loose. It may not look as pretty as new, but it will still work and be a good user. I've even super glued parts of a scale on my old Vic Tinker back together and then glued the scale back on. My Tinker has been thru the mill several times over :-) Thought of buying a new one, but it just wouldn't be the same as my good old, very used Tinker.

I have read that Vic scales won't but I will look at those sites and see what they say. Thanks!
