Pull ball spring

Post by knfcollector »

Does anyone happen to have a G.Schrade pullball spring, in or out of a parts knife. I just picked up a great PB but the spring is snapped. Thanks in advance.

I’m in the same boat. PLEASE help us! :)

It’s been a long time, but I recall that making the replacement spring was fairly easy. The spring has a notch at the tail held by a pin that is covered by the scales. Remove the blade pin and the scales can be rotated to get access to the spring pin. The piece of the original spring gives you a size for the spring material. Has a little arch to it and adjust the length so the blade stops in the right spot. A little trial and error fitting will get the spring right.
You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.
