So, yesterday I go to open my Xikar Spectra, and the thing falls apart in my hand. In addition to the 3 metal pieces that we all see when holding a Xikar, there is a a small spring and metal V shaped clasp. The little fastening piece/rivet that holds everything togeter also fell apart.
I know Xikar will repair/replace it, just a pain in the butt. After looking at some picture of the Spectra, I think mine was faulty from the start. In all the pics I have seen, the little rivet at the bottom has a hex nut holding it all together. I don't think mine ever had a hex nut. Probably why it fell apart. Oh Well, onto my backup Xikar (which was recently replaced by Xikar).
