My old bone folder snapped after 14 years, had to improvise

I was mid-way through rounding the spine on a batch of 12 journals last Tuesday when my old cow bone folder just cracked clean in half. That thing had been with me since I started binding in 2009, and I never thought to buy a spare. I grabbed a spare plastic one from the drawer, but it kept leaving shiny marks on the leather, so I ended up using the flat end of a teaspoon for the evening rush. Has anyone else had a favorite tool give out on them without warning, and what did you switch to that actually worked?
