I posted in /r/ knives on reddit about this, and they redirected me over here, saying this is where all the smart people are. Just made an account here to post! So this was my first knife, given to me at the age of 6 by my Grandpa. As you guys can see I broke it by using it to pry a tree branch when I was younger. Is it fixable? How about a place where I can get this same knife new? Im pretty sad that it is broken... Have tried to fix it, but there is a sort of nipple that needs to fit into a hole, and it doesnt stay. As well, the metal is warped. Does Winchester replace stuff like Leatherman does? This knife means a lot to me! Photos on imgur: http://imgur.com/a/puLcD

Thanks!!

First contact the manufacturer to see if they will repair it or at least take a look at it.

If they can't help you, find a maker here on BF who might accommodate you.

That's likely not something you're going to be able to fix on your own.
