Broken backspring on classic.
on: July 23, 2018, 06:27:20 PM
Looks to be from the 70s or 80s from the stamps, any idea if or where I could get a replacement?

Welcome to MTO! :)

Victorinox will most likely repair it under its warrenty. :) Where are you located?
Or you can find another 58mm SAK with an intact spring to take apart for parts.

Thats pretty much the two options available.  :shrug:
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

A third option would be to purchase the spring itself. There are spare parts kits from Victorinox (although you may not need as many) and you may be able to find a seller which could provide you with just 1 or 2.

Oh and yes, welcome to the sak rabbit hole

Another vote for sending it back to Victorinox.

They have a lifetime warrantee so why not get a new Victorinox spring installed by authorized Victorinox personal at their cost?
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

 :like: I had one that broke so I sent it back to Victorinox.  It came back with the spring replaced, as well as the scales.  Can't beat Vic's service!

I have to learn how to read first... Or get some glasses. I was sure it was about the scissors' spring.
No way to buy back springs from Vic but maybe someone will sell spare parts somewhere ^^
