OOPS! How did that happen?

My only real regret is not knowing how the scale broke and what happened to the part that fell off. I bought this used Victorinox Signature (a Classic SD that replaces to the toothpick with a ink pen) several years ago. About a week ago, I noticed the scale had cracked and I was missing part of it. I could easily replace it, for a price. Or I could... well... watch the show and see what I did instead.
