we no longer get the knife out

I had so looked forward to the little Moulinex. Determined also for nostalgic reasons, and also because of the adorable look. From Göße ago the unit for our 2-person household is absolutely sufficient.
Manual is understandable, sometimes you just have to search a bit.
I would have liked a few more pictures.
The result of the device is no cause for complaint: wonderful.
Depending on how many times I repeat the process of crushing, the crushed, the contents. To mush if I want it because.
However, we no longer get the knife out of the mixing jug.
I have read that some people here had problems with it, and there are indeed tips and tricks, how you have still elicits the knife. However, the tips with us are not working. We have now tried it so many times, and also various girlfriends and friends can try: nothing! Bombenfest.
Even the repeated reading the manual helps as not.
At first we said: It does not matter! Then the knife is just there.
But now we no longer use the Moulinette. It's just too cumbersome herauszukratzen the shredded contents with a spoon.
And cleaning is downright dangerous because the blade is very sharp.

We have sorted out the device from our inventory. It ended up in the basement.
