You can make a spring quite simply using fish tape which can be purchased at any hardware store buy much more cheaply at the dollar store. Thin if necessary on a belt sander or with a file, taking care to not overheat as to lose temper by frequently dipping in water. Gently bend to shape.

PVK has various size coil springs for sale and returns E-mails. Might be worth a try they may have leaf springs as well.Also knife kits dot com sells all kinds of parts.

Picked up two great switchblades plus i put a deposit on another (expensive) switchblade.  A few months and i'll have it paid off so that i can post pics.

Both switchblades are above.  Both are Edgemaster blades.  The top knife actually has Tin handles.  There is another one out there that i want with Brass handles.  Haven't found one yet.  In this photo it looks brassy though huh??  The pics below whow the tin clearly.
