If the end broke off of your bound, you may be able to just put that tab back on with a little careful bending.

Hi AussieB.Fanatic, welcome to the forum. Sorry I don't take whatsoever helpful communication, just wanted to annotate that I likewise joined TalkBlade with the hope that someone could help me with a broken switchblade spring. That was almost fifteen years ago. Never did prepare the knife, just it's been fun, hope you like it here.

The OTFs look complicated lots of parts, tiny springs, levers and stuff. I have ii that demand some TLC. They're cleaved and then if I effort to repair them and fail how much more damage tin can I practice.

We started seeing them in the very early 1970s. Most were fabricated in Spain.

Hey John how are your knives broken? is it possible that the bract is just off track. Easiest fix is just pull the blade manually into the out passion until information technology clicks with your fingers. then it should start firing in and out once more. Or is it really missing parts? I could e'er accept pace by step pictures of all the parts beingness assembled and disassembled in guild. Even amend notwithstanding peradventure I should make a YouTube tutorial on both of the known models.
