Whats the cost
Recently bought a 15" ringpull aga campolin got it cheap because spring is weak and it doesnt open fully anyone have an rough ideal on ehat it would cost to replace spring.....
Re: Whats the cost
Just to name two and there are more, Bill D and Jim Brown can give you the cost for a new spring. Look in the Custom knife tab and find someone who can help.
Good luck!
By the way post a photo of your knife. I’d like to see it.

Re: Whats the cost
You maybe able to adjust it to open with the present spring. I have seen people bend the spring a bit forward or making sure the knife is well oiled and cleaned. Taking it apart and adding a new custom spring will make the bargain no longer a bargain....

Re: Whats the cost
Most springs rub one of the liners. Oil the side that rubs.
LMK if that helps.
There are other reasons that it may not open properly, but the spring is probably OK.

Re: Whats the cost
I believe those all have one-piece springs so replacing the kickspring would be not worth it at all. It seems like many of the 15" ones I've seen had horn scales that were squeezing the handle together in the middle. If they were doing it enough it would mess with the spring.

Re: Whats the cost
What JimBrown and Bill said, it’s probably pinching somewhere. Bolsters too tight or liners
