Anyone use zona saws?

I just bought a great little junior hacksaw [Zona is the brand name] perfect for cutting minis.
One problem though, it is one piece metal in construction with no latches to install other [Finer] blades.
Anyone ever run into this?
Do I bend the saw [No way right?] or some how hammer out the little metal nubs that are on the blade to replace it?

Are these the types of saws you\'re talking about? http://www.stockade-supply.com/cat-tools/razorsaw.html If so, I don\'t think they\'re made to replace the blades. You should be able to use them a good long time though, if you don\'t totally abuse them.

EDIT - I found some of their hacksaws too, like this: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLH64&P=0 If it\'s a hacksaw and not a razor saw, there must be some mechanism to replace the blade. The one I have is like this: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLH75&P=0 so it\'s real easy to see how to replace the saw blade. :)

Edit to the edit - as I desperately try not to double-post, instead making this one look a mess. :p I actually found a \"Junior Hacksaw\", so is this the one you have? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLH65&P=0

The one I have is actually even smaller than the Junior Zona that you posted at the end of your reply.
I have been trying to find it on the net, but I cannot as of yet find it.
It is just a one peice metal saw [A cylidrical metal bar, curved into a hacksaw shape with a red plastic handle.]
It has no latches to replace the blades, it just has one on it that it came with, with no way to remove it [All I can think of is to tap out the little pegs in the blade, then tap them back in to attach the new blade.This has proven to be a difficult task.]
Sigh, I was hoping this saw would make my life easier.
Thanks for the reply.

EDIT-
Found it....
Zona Mini HackSaw
Edit #2
I figured it out...
You have to bend the hacksaw by applying preasure to the end [Put it on the ground and puch the front tip down until the bar curves, extract the blade and repeat to install a new one.]
