For anyone interested, or if you're looking for another, Michael, there's a filmknips going for a song here, although it does state Contax.
Did different camera designs have different shaped leaders for there cassettes and therefore different models of Filmknips?

And he's got to be cool because he calls himself Jim Rockford of the Rockford Files Hall of Fame!

[furthrMarty, thank you very much for noting this for me. As it happens I found one last month, also on ebay.de . The seller, "tatrageist", mentioned Contax too; though the cutter is simply marked "Filmknips". It works perfectly and is reassuring in that it guarantees a good connection and also leaves a handy stub of film to pull clear of the spool at the processing stage. Here's a link to mine: I hope it works.

[Just noticed: Rockford doesn't post to the UK]

Sorry - realised that I already mentioned this back in mid-March. Ah well.
