Thanks to this video I was able to discover that that squiggly piece (the spring) should be one SOLID piece and not 3 separate ones 😅 thank you for your help!
I have a similar type of switchblade. It's smaller but really cool. I took it apart a while ago and had the hardest time reassembling it! This is a very helpful video. Thanks !
I had to take mine apart to take a few thousandths off the locking surface to get the knife to lock; that was easy; I've done that on other knives. However, I had never worked on a knife with a spring assist, so I wasn't sure how that went back in. Hence, your video was very helpful with that; thank you!
Really glad we could help out. I couldn't find anything on TH-cam anywhere, so I figured, well., my knife wasn't working properly either way, so just documenting it for myself and others may help out. I really am glad it did...Thank you
Thanks once again for your fantastic repair guide i have since used your video and have successfully repaired my own knife, the blade deploys perfect and locks up solid with absolutely no bladeplay at all ,im well chuffed., you might like to check out videos on youtube by Ian bivens,he restores repairs and customizes old and new switchblades and vintage stiletto lock knives.,using wood,bone and acrylic on the handles,he gets the finest polished finishes,also manufacturing his own custom knife components like brass bolsters and push buttons his work is breathtaking,his knives are like works of art.. Thanks once again for all your help have a top day.
Holy shit thank you so much, I got a knife which isn't available in my country and I was bored and took it apart to see how it worked but couldn't put it back together.
Good and informative . My father used to say whenever he couldn't fix something that was made in China that his fingers were too fat, he needs little fingers like the Chinese.
Hahaha happy the video helped out. There are some tight fits, and a tweezers can come in handy for some making fingers smaller lol 👍 Thank you for watching!
Hello, is there any update about that spring? Mine snapped in half few days ago as well. Sad... Or if there is no spring info, what is that knife? Thank you 🙂
@@KedaWoodDye My knife used the same spring. I flipped it open a month or two ago and felt something snap and it no longer worked. I partially disassembled it and found the spring had broken. Sigh
@@johnlewis5815 That sucks! I really do hope someone can help you out. Preferably with a quality aftermarket spring. Maybe ask the one you bought it from, if they know where to find that piece?
So disappointed. I have the exact same knife, with exact same problem. But having a real hard time following with the Blair witch project camera skills. I do appreciate the thought, and the effort y’all put into it though.
I big problem for spring assistant knives bot opening is dirt grime I have had to clean many due to dirt making it not flik good.you should bot need to dismantle it just take soap water then oil it and your good to go hope this helps ps I have the same knive bit great video.
Is the pivot nut too tight? What isnt working properly? Is it over extending when the spring assist blade opens, or is the spring assist not opening properly?
That One Capitalist oh no that sucks! If you take it apart, and put it back together like this hopefully it will work again. Sometimes they just over extend. Otherwise, you may want to talk to the seller you acquired it from ;)
I had the same problem, it's the lock getting stuck behind the blade. When closing it pull the blade back before pulling the lock back and then you should be able to close the knife
I dont understand. I dropped my black legion cyclone stiletto which by the way is spring assisted on the floor, now the rod that locks the blade into place is over extending and goinmg almost to the other side of the blade and takes a lot of pressure to push back and close the knife. is there a way to fix this?
I am not sure why I didn't see this notification come in, but that is just about exactly what happened to this one. That is when I decided to tear it apart and put it back together.
Durplepurple94572 Sorry for the delayed reply on this. There is a pivot screw that attaches the blade to the handle. Loosen that up to allow for the blade to move freely, then slowly tighten that so the blade does not slip through the spine stop. Hope that helps out.
@@shrumstein I believe that would have some impact. You could just get some new washers. You could also gently bend the blade spring, to release a little of the tension on the spring. I had to do that, just because my Son's kept over extending all the time. I think it is because I had to have the pivot pin bolt a little looser so the blade would open with the assist, but if I had it too loose, the blade would constantly over extend.
I’ve been a knife maker & gunsmith for forty five years your making a common mistake, forget the blade, the only thing you need to keep in mind with any automatic knife everything revolves around the spring.
My spring assisted is retarted it won't open no madder how hard I press the lever thing and ya that's it does anyone know the solution btw I've tried luciningthe screws and I've also tried to use lube pls help
Marcus Uhler you may need to disassemble the spring assisted knife, realign the blade to how it is supposed to be, and it should work just fine again. I am not sure the kind of spring assisted blade you have, but perhaps the spring assisted stiletto repair video can give you some type of guideline? Just mark all your screw locations to which hole and it should be pretty easy to fix up :)
This video helped me fix an old pocket knife i used to love. Now i have a sentimental desk toy to open boxes/envelopes with 👍

where can I get a replacement for the spring, I have a Tac-Force, Milano, model TF-428, the spring broke after just a couple of dozen openings.

Video is great. Such a big help
Ty, I couldn't find anything on the spring assisted problem antwhere
you wouldn't happen to know where to get replacement screws do you? I lost one of the big ones at the very top.
Holy shit thank you so much, I got a knife which isn't available in my country and I was bored and took it apart to see how it worked but couldn't put it back together.

Thank you 🙂
i opened up mine and the spring was so worn out that it had snapped in half
I think that's what's wrong with mine... I hope I can fix that
Where can I buy a couple springs like in this video. I’ve looked all over.
Honestly, I am not sure. Hopefully someone here can help you out on that. Sorry about that, but thank you for watching 👍

@@KedaWoodDye Well the seller claims the knife is perfectly fine, I even sent him a video showing that the blade just flops around. Bad seller.
@@johnlewis5815 not sure how else I could advise you on that. Hopefully someone else here could help you with that. Hope it all works out JL.
So disappointed. I have the exact same knife, with exact same problem. But having a real hard time following with the Blair witch project camera skills. I do appreciate the thought, and the effort y’all put into it though.
I know sorry about that. My 9 year old Son wanted to help, and instead of losing parts, I asked if he would record with the camera instead.
Sorry to sound like an ass. Didn’t intend to be. I was excited to find Exctly what I needed only to be thwarted. Again, appreciate it.

Hi my friend, where I can buy those springs, I got couple knifes with a broken spring it is hard to find.
Honestly, I am not sure. Would be good to know though. I could use a couple, as well as a couple back ups....just in case 😉
When I try and close it the bottom part sticks out so should I try and tighten it
I got mine back to gather properly and now it doesn't work properly any idea why
Ps thanks to whoever takes the time to read this and help me
So happy this video helped out... Thank you for letting us know and for watching 👍
Is the pivot nut too tight? What isnt working properly? Is it over extending when the spring assist blade opens, or is the spring assist not opening properly?
I have the same knife but mine stops half way how can I make it go all the way up
This dude has beautiful hands
My spring assisted knife won't close I think something is wrong with the lock.
That One Capitalist oh no that sucks! If you take it apart, and put it back together like this hopefully it will work again. Sometimes they just over extend. Otherwise, you may want to talk to the seller you acquired it from ;)

Do u know where we can order a spring for it by any chance? I had a stilleto and the spring broke in half.
Yikes that sucks! I actually dont, but I would maybe check on eBay or Amazon? Best of luck....
hakop898 u found any spring replacements yet ??
Go to Autoknife.com
Okay where does the spring go this is my first time and my bf broke it apart somehow and of course doesn't have any idea how to fix it
is there anywhere where i can buy the exact same spring in this video mine broke and i cant find anywhere to buy one
Oh Boy this was some time back, but I believe my Dad got this on eBay......
Neonscar420 hey bro did you find where to buy the spring ?? Mine snapped in half today
Mine won't lock when I open the blade ?
How do I get my knife to not open up even when I'm not touching it
Try tightening the two screws on either side of the blade
I dont understand. I dropped my black legion cyclone stiletto which by the way is spring assisted on the floor, now the rod that locks the blade into place is over extending and goinmg almost to the other side of the blade and takes a lot of pressure to push back and close the knife. is there a way to fix this?
I am not sure why I didn't see this notification come in, but that is just about exactly what happened to this one. That is when I decided to tear it apart and put it back together.
Would this be similar to a S&W MAGIC Black Ops knife? I'm having an issue with the button that pushes the blade out but the spring assist still works.
No they have a special mechanism but there is a manual/video online showing how
My spring assisted knife wont open all the way what do you think could be wrong with it?
Durplepurple94572 Sorry for the delayed reply on this. There is a pivot screw that attaches the blade to the handle. Loosen that up to allow for the blade to move freely, then slowly tighten that so the blade does not slip through the spine stop. Hope that helps out.
AJ ROSSI thank for the help really appreciate it :)
Have same spring set up I knife. Spring broke... Anyone know where to get new springs??? Message me please..
When mine is closed. part of the blade still sticks out making grabbing it dangerous and I dont know how to fix it
Hmmm can you loosen the pivot pin where the knife blade attaches?
Keda Wood Dye I can but too much makes the blade have play in it, but still same issue
Keda Wood Dye would the spacers being worn have an impact?
@@shrumstein I believe that would have some impact. You could just get some new washers. You could also gently bend the blade spring, to release a little of the tension on the spring.

dose anyone know where to get the spring peice in canada ??
The OneSavagePotato they used to sell em on ebay
buy a cheap similar knife take spring from that one?
mines a piece of shit its a switchblade and the bolt popped off and its not staying place now
