2-Blade Jack Knife with Sheared Center Pin: How to Obtain Repair?

[wlwhittier]

Year, it's worn & kinda ugly...but it was carried by a favorite uncle. I recall that it wasn't broken in my youth.

The problem is with the sheeps foot spring...the brass pin that anchors it has sheared. Perhaps I could extract the 2 outer pieces (the ends of the pin), but I doubt my ability to complete the replacement of the pin given alignment and specific pressure requirements, not to mention other unknown issues between me and success. In truth, I have neither the tools, skills nor patience to fix this folder.

I'm looking for someone who'll do the job for money. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks, Warren.

Maybe try Bill DeShivs. He does knife repair professionally, and has a lot of experience with pinned knives. He's a member here, and he has a website BillDeshivs.com.

Glennbadd on this forum does great stuff with old slipjoints. May take a whille but the best I've seen.
