Re: WW2 German gravity knife parts
to AAPK! What kind of spare parts are you looking for? Also, which version do you have?
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

You can try this link but I'm not making any promises- http://www.roadsideimports.com/contact.html This guy fixed mine back in 2019.
Forum member Bill DeShivs might be able to help you also. Good luck and keep us posted.

As the owner of Roadside Imports is in jail, I wouldn't use that contact form.
The parts can be hand made, and installing them requires quite a bit of skill.

Do you know the story, Bill? I'd be interested if you do, thanks.
*Edit- did a search, apparently Jonathan Benson, el Presidenté, has a storied past with copyright infringement and "switchblades" that might not have ended well for him.

Hey Bill, thanks for the info.
Do you sell spare parts or do you know where I would be able to buy the springs and levers?
Thanks Stu..

Re: WW2 German gravity knife parts
I don't sell parts. I make all the parts I use.
I don't believe the parts you want are available anywhere.
The lever springs from the later, green-handled German gravity knives can be adapted- but the knives are too expensive to use for parts.

Re: WW2 German gravity knife parts
I have repaired/restored over 80 of these Fallschirmjäger Gravity Knives. I custom make each indivpart I need using originals as patterns. All assembly numbers are added wherever necessary as well. My parts cannot be differentiated from originals and I also do spring installation without disassembling the knife, leaving the exterior of the knife looking untouched. Springs are installed just as originals were, no spot welding done. Anyone needing work done or more info can co tact me at:
