I joined the Switchblades group because I have had many fine modern OTFs And OTFs. I have not had the pleasure of up close and personal with quality classic switchblades. I'm hoping to be introduced to the higher quality classics. Thanks for the opportunity.

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.
