It has 4 small blades 2 on each end..phillips, flat head screw driver, bottle opener & one other.The main cutting blade is missing.My pictures suck but on the left end of the knife is where its sprung.Or broken pin.If its possible I would like to get an approximate estimate on repairing this knife.... Thanks Rick...
