Technically speaking, as I recall from route surveying class, a broken 
back curve is a compound curve with a short (relatively) tangent section 
instead of a PCC.  Our text book was authored by Hickerson, I believe 
(not absolutely sure).

         Typically a brocken-back is a short tangent with two tangent
curves on both sides that have their radius points on
the same side of the tangent. Not to be confused with a non-tangent curve.
The tangent is usually less than 100' feet. 
I use this method when trying to establish a course for an existing
condition.

We've been using the X-Acto knives with the big red handles for years
without a problem. Get the loop type blades in either a V shape or round.
They are easy to find at any craft store and can be sharpened with you axe
file. With a little practise using your thumb as a pivot and pulling the
knife towards it in short strokes these work perfectly and are fairly
cheap. 
keep your stick on the ice
