I've seen this on Wenger, never on Victorinox.<br><br>I also vote for JB Weld. I haven't used it for this, but it's the best stuff I've seen for joining plastic and metal. Never seen it fail.<br><br>Just as an aside- I don't really believe it, but I was told by a Frenchman back in the 70's that the scales of a Victorinox were (originally, at least) made of some plastic/celluloid/something that burned VERY brightly and could be used as an emergency signal. I've never tried it, and it seems far-fetched, but if nothing else it's interesting as a rumor.
