The only spring that I've had "go Falcon" on me was on an 8" Hubertus SlimLine. Snapped in two one day when I closed the blade. I'd had the knife for only 8 months at the time. Contacted our chums at The Knifeshop and they sent me 2 replacements free of charge. Very easy to repair. The knife is now snapping again like a hungry 'gator, and I have a spare spring just in case.

Greyblade,

I'd be ecstatic if I could get a coil spring to last 8 whole months! :o

Thanks, Waya. My Benchmade Torx kit is on the way. Soon I'll be screwing-up the stuff that I've already screwed-up. :(

The room I decided to replace my Wor Tac spring in looks like the Chinese Army spent the winter here and then left suddenly. As I was reassembling the knife I hear a "SHWING" and the spring disappeared. I'm still searching. :(

Well my GF should be here soon. Sure hope I don't have Falcon's luck. Then again I don't think anybody has his luck.

What ever happened to Waya and Patnude?

Mr. SD,

As I understand it from a previous post Mr. Waya is busy with "knife related projects," and playing Daddy to twice litters of brand spanking new wolfettes...

Mr. Patnude returned to the Forum Nov. 29th of last year to a rather rude "welcome back" from a couple of our more cantankerous members, after being out of the country for about a year.
Apparently, he didn't care to pay for past perceived "sins" and he departed.

WELCOME BACK :!:
Please ignore some minor confusion over your whereabouts. Some of us are a little "long in the tooth" and at our age confusion and forgetfulness are one way we can tell we're still alive.
