Pulled the Xi2 out to cut the cap off a stick for the drive home from work Tuesday. Turns out that the spring mechanism had failed. I used the punch I keep in my Jeep, so at least I was able to get my smoke in. Of course I like to think I can fix things so, like an idiot, I took apart. It appears that one of the springs that open the blades actually snapped. I was hoping it was something just dislodged. Not sure how this happened, but I'm curious if Xikar may still repair it despite me having taken it apart. I understand if I voided my warranty, I have a habit of doing that. Anyone have experience with a situation like this with Xikar? Should I risk wasting the postage to send it in, or should I just pick up a new one?

Thanks for the advise guys
