And if you had ANY problem with them, you can used ANY shop which sold them.
I tried in Switzerland, France and Canada and they always change the bad piece Without cost. Amicalement

I'm surprised the requirement doesn't list any more specific parameters for the Swiss Army knife. Size of blade, what tools, etc etc. |

worries about not losing his rules stuff.
