Re: Backsspring and blade
Is this staking process done while the spring is still in place?
Or is it better to bend by hand, I suppose the staking process let's you know it's worked, but can this put pressure on the spring rivet pin.
Complicated these knives, I can begin to really appreciate their build, thanks Bill,I mean that you have helped a lot.

Re: Backsspring and blade
You misunderstand. "Staling" the kickspring involves using a sharp punch to move metal on the kickspring and it's slot in the backspring.
You displace metal to make it impossible for the kickspring to slip forward.
