My SOG X ray just crapped out on me. I was gonna use to to cut some cord (lanyards...) and I notice how loose the blade was and took a closer look. There was a lot of front and back play. I decide to take a look. I use a flat screwdriver to take out the nub, and noticed that one of the springs has no springiness. I think it broke in half. What should I do? Does SOG send replacements? Also, the other spring withdrew into the knife. Do I have to dismantle the knife completely? Thanks.

EDIT: Took it apart. Yeah, one of the springs broke in half. What should I do?
 
This happens occasionally.......hardly ever though.

SOG will take care of this I'm sure.

Just contact warranty and tell them what happened.

I'm not sure if they send out springs or not.........you could ask.

Yeah, I emailed them already. Can they just give me the spring, so I can do it myself? Shipping isn't really that convenient for me.

EDIT: Got the reply. Gonna get that spring in 10 days. Awesome.

Reflecting on when the spring broke. There are a lot of guys that say they wouldn't depend on a knife that relies on a spring. This knife might rely on merely one spring, but it has two, so I guess it'll only fail fail if you're really unlucky.
 
I have used a Night Vision arc lock for 4 years and opened thousands of times with no broken springs.......yet.

You know how it goes.........you never know.:D

Don't forget to use a little loc tite when you go back with the arc knobs or they couild possibly work loose.

This is a problem you just don't hear of often with the SOG arc lock.

Guess I'm really unlucky, lol.

I'm still carrying it though. It's the only knife I have with a tanto blade, so...Yeah.
