Broken Schrade LB6

Post by Just Plain Dave »

I have an Uncle Henry Schrade+ LB(I'm relatively sure 6) that has a busted spring.
It has Stagalon scales that don't look TOO bad.
If I force the lockbar with my thumb the lock up seems ok.
It is NOT swinden key. It has approximately a 3/32" pin.

Who can fix it?

The only LB with Staglon was an LB8, but the stamps are hard to read sometimes. There was no LB6.
The lockbacks were not made with the Swinden system. There really is no way to make it a Swinden with a single blade and a lockback.

Do you think the lockbar pin is broken or the pivot pin?

Normally when the blade does not lock up, but the lockbar can be pushed into position to lock the blade, I suspect it is a broken spring.

I can repair it, but do have a waiting list.
Send me a PM if you want more info on having me fix it.
