Half of the spring bar went shooting across the room!!! :x It broke in HALF!!! :x So now I have a $100 very sharp paper weight... :cry: Anybody know how to replace the spring bar in a pocket knife?

The same thing happened to mine a few months back. I emailed the place that I bought it from in England & was told to send it back to the factory in Germany.

A good gunsmith (yes!) might be able to fabricate a new one for you.

Does anyone know someone who could fix it? If I get it fixed I'm donating it to the Queen Mary Summit as a raffle prize. I'm VERY unimpressed with it.

OK...it has been brought to my attention that it would seem I'm pawning off junk on the QM participants. :lol: that is NOT the case. This still is a collectable Indygear item. I, however, require gear that is useable. I bought this second hand, so a return is out of the question. If someone can fix it, I'm sure that a QM participant would LOVE to have it. :lol: Does that sound better?
