Re: Where to buy switchblade springs
Muskrat Man (member here) may sell them.
I don't advise trying to do your own repairs. You'll probably do more harm than good.

Re: Where to buy switchblade springs
Both Muskrat Man and Bill DeShivs have outstanding reputations as knife repairman specializing switchblades. I repair knives, but I won’t touch switchblades for a variety of reasons. I think it helps to have a passion for something you’re working on, that passion helps motivate you to greater levels of excellence. Slip joints and fixed blades motivate me, switchblades to not. But they do motivate Kaleb and Bill. If I have a customer who insists that I fixed their switchblade, I will send it to one of these two gentlemen. Last time I sent it to Kaleb. I was very pleased with the quality work, and the affordability.
