I've noticed that the Case/Metal Stampings Ltd. Canadian Navy Knives seem to have a much higher occurence of cracked and broken backsprings than other knives I'v seen. I'd say at least half of what I have seen have one or both backsprings broken. The one I have has a broken blade backspring, the one I'm buying that will be the one I repair using the one I have has a broken can opener spring.
Does anyone have any idea as to why so many have broken springs? Bad temper, abuse (which is my guess), or something else?

Re: Canadian Navy Knife and Broken Springs
Where do you find them breaking?
At the pivot hole or just random places...
Mechanically there are only a couple reasons this could happen.
1. Overly hard. 2. Not enough "meat" left around the pivot pin, Or a combo of one, and two. There are fixes for both reasons I stated but I would wait for the experienced guys that might already have a way of dealing w/ this.
