Re: American Switches
I came across a knife site today called Adams international knife works and I bought 3 knives - 2 switches and a new old stock Buck 111. Their prices are really good and have a great inventory.

Re: American Switches
Since I can't get the videos to work, here's a few pictures. I was able to fit the new spring underneath what's left of the old spring. About a quarter inch missing off the tip but someone did a decent reprofile. 4" closed, 7" open not including the bail. A little tricky getting everything sized right but easier than posting videos. 
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: American Switches
Heck of a good user knife
and a good job making it work again....It`s fairly easy to replace that spring should it give you problems
