Oops - sorry - it's a Bernina Funlock 007D. And one of my ISMACS associates has just told me they're a pig to dismantle.
The price of the knife you gave is slightly high but I doubt enough to make up for the trip over the pond, unless of course you were to purchase a large quantity. Email me private if you want to get pricing. I would email you but have little patience to figure out your encrypted address.

No probs Ron. I was just weighing up whether it was possible to get the blade sharpened rather than replace it. That and try to get you to see that what might be cheap to do in the US is sometimes a different kettle of fish over here. As it is, now that the beastie is back in the land of the living, i can source a couple of spares at a more leisurely pace.
The email address isn't encrypted, incidentally, just spelled out using international phonics. There's a reason for this; there's a limit to how many emails per day I want trying to sell me weird medication and anatomically impossible body "enhancements".
Blue skies!
I understand your reasoning. I just rather click reply to sender. Spam is inevitable. I just deal with it as best I can. Having a commercial site I probably delete 5-600 pieces a day.

A piece of spam is now a rarity (got one this week). They use a service called Postini, on the west coast IIRC.

That is fine except for 2 problems. I get my incoming mail from my own POP3 account, it does not pass the ISP, and in my experience the Spam filters often can not distinguish real mail from Spam. My address is one good example, as it is out there I get my email forged in headers all the time so Spam filters pick out my address and call it Spam. I had once to switch ISP's because their filters block entire IP blocks. Happened that the people I buy space from buy space from the bigger guy next up and he also sold to a spammer selling cigarettes. So I was blacklisted/blocked. I could not get any mail to my legitimate email address. I use mailwasher pro now and I can easily delete the junk and bounce it so it has help reduce the flow some, but all in all just like junk mail and telephone solicitors Spam is hear to stay and I just deal with it.

That is so true Ron! There are so many days my DH comes home, asks "Anything in the mail today?" and I point him to the trash can. lol We get at least so many credit card applications, various "deals" addressed to "our friends at...." and so much other crapola I could probably have wallpapered the house about 200 times over with it! Spam is just the virtual version of the same thing.
Although, I gotta say I love the Do Not Call List. Probably my favorite change Indiana has made in the last 10 years. We don't get calls at all any more. Except for the state police charities. I think I have them whipped too. I told them that the last time I donated to one of them, the other 5 called me. Since I can't decide between them which is more worthy of my money, and they were nice enough to share my phone number with each other, I won't be giving any of them any money. I told that to the obnoxious guy that called for them the last time. So far, so good.

DH and I have decided to send the emptty envelopes back to all the companies that are offering us "DEALS." If the envelope is marked no stamp necessary in the US or postal permit, no stamp necessary, back it goes. We put it out in the morning when DH goes out to the store for the paper. We just make sure it's empty and has no return address. We figure if these companies want to send us mail so much, why not send it return the favor. It may not do much good, but it sure makes it easier to know if the mailman came without having to hike out to the box in the muddy muck we are now enjoying. Juno
You can notify everybody you pay bills to and all the credit reporting agencies that you don't want unsolicited stuff like this and you won't get anywhere near as much. I hardly get anything any more, only ones from credit cards that I have closed and they want me to open my account again.
