If it was a 3500 dollar cutter I would have it replaced, but hey, $35 dollars for 9 years of use, that's almost free. I rather buy a new one, keep the company in business and showing my appriciation than going thru the hassle of getting it replaced just to save a few bucks
There business model is a profitable one I am sure. I just purchased a lighter and pouch, so it's not like I don't continue to BUY their product.
