How To Repair A Lockback Knife
- #iv
I am watching this one with involvement every bit i have done this in one case and that was with a donor pocketknife for the springs, that knife lasted a yr and so broke again. In the terminate i made new springs from jump steel and it has been good ever since. This is not a job to be taken lightly especially the silver scales knife as they can be damaged easily.
cheers and good luck.

You'd need to disassemble the knife without marring information technology, which can be challenging, replace the bound with another (if you can observe one) and reassemble. The pins would need to be replaced with ones of the same bore. You may be able to buy a replacement jump or demand to brand one if y'all can heat treat information technology. Its important that the spring is the correct thickness. Yous'd need to peen the pins with a shim to get the friction correct. Maybe spin them for aesthetics after.
Information technology can be done with simple store tools. Are you good at pattern making? The tension tin can be fix by locking the knife in a soft jawed vese until the holes line upwards using a shim the thickness of the jump against i vise jaw.
Were it me I'd shop around the Restoration and Repair forum at allaboutpocketknives.com. At that place are people who practise this as a hobby and professionally and some of their work is quite good.
