I don't have one for you, but what about scanning eBay for a broken Explorer etc.? That's what I did.

Also please keep in mind that the different magnifier versions (there are 3) do have different tang and spring shapes :salute:

Good luck!

Yes it was broken off at the joint so just a little grey stump! I guess glass but not going to know for sure?

Yeah I had thought about that but (unless I'm missing something) being in the UK, ebay don't allow selling of knives on ebay UK, and while I can look at other ebay countries, as soon as I try to buy and send to a UK address it stops the transaction!
Bit rubbish really :(

Thanks for the info! There's been some discussion among Swiss Army Knights over which housing is more likely to break - the old grey one or the new transparent ones. Yours is the first report I've read confirming failure of the transparent housing. Do you feel the grey type is sturdier, or do you prefer the lens or the appearance? :cheers:
