Thanks for watching & adding the info!!!
Please assemble it in the camera frame.
I will try harder to make sure it's in frame next time. Thanks for the feedback and watching!!!!
In fact I live in Canada I can order an Omega spring from Benchmade but there's a for spring limit each year and the reason why I can order them straight to my door is because of Canadian laws it's quite hard for an individual to ship a Benchmade axis lock knife to Benchmade and back without getting stopped by Canadian border control
If anyone is wondering 0.57-0.58mm is 23 gauge and 22 gauge comes in at 0.64mm.
Thanks for watching & Have a great New Year!!!
Ganzo sells the springs, and you get a free knife with them...
The omega springs I bought from Etsy are working very well. @ only $4.99 it was the cheapest option. Thanks for Watching!!!
Great video, about to change the scales on my bugout. A little nervous because it voids the warranty. If my springs ever break this is great knowledge!
Thank you so much for finding these springs ! You saved me so much trouble cheers ! 🍻
That's awesome, I'm glad you liked the video.
Thanks for watching!!!
OCD-4-EDC it’s been 3 months since you posted this video, how has the aftermarket omega springs been holding up on the bugout so far ? Do you notice any difference ? Is it worth to send $10 bucks on aftermarket springs or is it better to send it to Benchmade ?
Right on man! Thanks for sharing!!
No problem, Thanks for watching!
Very informational video. I also took my bugout apart and I had way more trouble getting mine back together lol. I ended up losing a screw because they are so tiny and I'm a big gorilla. Benchmade sent me a screw set no questions asked. I figured they would do the same if I needed a spring. Now I'm guessing that won't happen lol! Enjoyed the video🤘👊
Benchmade's warranty has always been really great. Like you said, they will send screws and pocket clips no questions asked. That is why I was a little shocked when they would not send the springs. They wont sell them either, which I don't understand. If I wanted to copy the springs, i could buy any knife and pull the springs out to copy them. It's ridiculous!!! So far the new springs are great though.
Bought the same springs off etsy and they have a stiffer pull and a slightly harder to flick but should break in and be just fine.
Thanks for this one , man !
No problem. Thanks for watching!
thanks for the info on the seller just bought some springs, the bugout is currently my GOAT for an EDC knife, got a Titanium backspacer, G10 Scales, titanium screws and the idea of a even slightly more robust omega spring is just further polish for my sexy N sleek pocket ferrari. lol thanks man
Sounds cool, Thanks for watching!!!
I just made some springs by myself ,it’s very easy to make
Nice, I'm sure they are better than the OG's!!! Thanks for watching!!
How?
WoW, I seriously can NOT believe you just posted this up when I literally popped an omega spring on 1 of my bugouts just last week man!🤔🤔🤔
Nice, that's how I felt when this one broke. I had just got back from Portland. Thanks for watching!!!
@@OCD4EDC first time it's happened to me tho... I have a mini grip that's old & used thru hell & back & only had to tighten pivot once in a while & sharpen
@@larrymarsico4059 Yeah Benchmade must have made some changes to the springs. I have a few old Grip's that have been beat on for years. The Omega springs are just fine.
I'm starting to think they went with a different spring or material with the bugouts. Especially since the after market ones weigh just a little bit more. 🤘👊
@@dlby3 🤔🤔🤔
I ordered 2 sets yesterday
Nice, they seem to be working well so far. I'm sure you'll be happy with them. Thanks for watching!!!
I’ve always wanted the blue Bugout, so when Blade HQ put the blackout bug on sale, I was a little hesitant. I put it in my cart anyway and it sat there for two and a half days while I second guessed myself. Then it it was gone. 😢
I like the blue one best myself. Thanks for watching!
I took advantage of that sale. I already have a broken omega spring... :(
Literally broke a spring in my 940 as I click on the video .. not 3 days after buying it.. but I have been flicking it non stop lol
That sucks, the after market Omega springs seem to hold up better than the stock springs, so far. Thanks for watching!!!
you can make springs from Plain Steel Single Guitar String .022 it will give a lighter pull though, if you want a heavier pull use .024
Great if your a fidget flicker & prone to breaking the springs
Thanks for watching!!!

How long did these springs last for?
Nice video. I'm paranoid that my mini grip springs will break lol!
I have had a mini grip for 10+ years with no issues. I was out at Benchmade about 2 months ago. While I was there I learned they had a problem with the Bugout springs specifically. So hopefully you won't have any issues. Thanks for watching!!!
My mini grip ones just broke
I perfer ganzo springs. They dont break near as often, but if your a nance it could be a little hard to pull.
my benchmade had all sorts of issues including the grit within 2 weeks or so. 🤦🏻♂️ my video proves it. people say give it time, but with the price point, you'd think bench made would take care of that with QC, rather than giving the customer the grief of dealing with that nasty grit. terrible
I’m trying to find a video on the lock system. It failed on me and about cut my finger off. I can lock out the knife and with just a little pressure bending it and it will shut without releasing the lock. Got 7 stitches but kept my finger.
I just got a Bugout about 3 weeks ago and the omega spring is already broken
I’ve had two pop on my bugout and only my bugout, I do use the knife quite often but I also use my other benchmade knives and never had a issue. I did the same as u and bought a aftermarket and I’ve had no issues with mine, how has your aftermarket springs held up?
It's because the bug out is junk, just buy the clone
@@krismartin1181 yeah buy the clone with the pop metal blade lol
How can a "really good knife" have a issue that is all 8ber the place...
I think about to buy one and watch reviews over and over.
In every comment section ppl talking about issues with that lock.
I am not sure about that knife/company anymore. Do they break really that often?
In my experience, if you fidget and open the knife hundreds of times a day, the springs will only last you a few months. If you open it only to actually use the knife, it will last you a long time
@@WooSungShim well. Thanks for ur answer.
Any update on this? How are the aftermarket springs holding up? I know that omega springs don't break terribly often, but I still think it's a weak design. Pity. It's kept me away from the brand.
Don’t break often!? My first one lasted a month of edc. Second one lasted two weeks.
😆AWESOME..! ✌👊👍
Thanks for watching!!!
No link to order?
The link is in the description for the springs. Thanks for watching!!!
What size spring whould the super freak have
Benchmade has a large and a small Omega spring. I'm pretty sure the Super Freek runs the large size, same as the full size Griptillian.
Thanks for watching!!!
@@OCD4EDC your welcome and thank you
They will send them to the uk and tell you what tools you need to take the knife apart.
I wish they would do that everywhere. Thanks for watching!!!
My griptilian won't lock. Do you things it's the springs. It will push the lock forward but it doesn't hold the tention it needs to keep it forward
You may just have one broken spring. You can generally see if the spring is broken by looking into the axis bar slot on each side. You could also have some debris stuck in the way of the axis bar and it's not letting it slide far enough forward. Thanks for watching!
@@OCD4EDC I'll have to disassemble it again.
How.long have u had ur bugout before the springs breaking
This one I had about 3 months with pretty minimal carry. Thanks for watching!
@@OCD4EDC geez man for a good knife company they shouldn't break like that this is one of the reasons why I want buy more bench mades and stick with spyderco and other brands
My toxic trait was thinking this wouldn't be as bad as people said it was. But holy shit it was aweful. I dropped a screw and it ended up in narnia. Also PS, don't order stuff from the seller on etsy for these. I ordered some and they never came. They didn't even ship out. I had to open a case on etsy to get my money back.
yea but 6.99 for 2 little spring for a 150 knife...is it worth it not to me me ..I told benchmade when they started sending replacement springs for there knives I would start buying again
Well Benchmade will replace the springs for free, however the shipping cost more than $6.99. So I chose the buy the springs and do the work myself. But I agree, they should come with some extra springs!!!!
Thanks for watching!!!
Wish you showed what you was doing instead of being out of the frame.
I can’t fine Hobe deca? Is it my spelling?
Noop, yo'r kiln it!
Worried that someone will copy them? Why wouldn't they just take apart a knife and examine the spring?
No Doubt!!!! Thanks for watching!
Funny they won't send because they think someone would copy the springs..well anyone could just take the bugout apart and and have the same springs to copy..lol..makes no sense!
I know, it's a stupid policy no doubt. Thanks for watching!!!
First!
Second!
@@OCD4EDC Bahahahahaha! I never knew why ppl started with that, so now if I happen to notice I am first person to comment, I do that ha, ha
This is just weird. Thousands of people had no problems whatsoever in many years, never had. And others have to deal with broken springs after weeks. Must be some faulty spring batch "made in china" or something. Regarding sending spare parts, well Bechmade doesn't want people to fiddle with their knives themselves...
