Benchmade Omega Spring

Modoc ED · Feb 9, 2012

Will the Omega Spring for the Axis Lock on the full-size Benchmade Griptilian and on the Benchmade Mini-Griptilian interchange? Are the springs the same size knife to knife?

Anybody?

Take the scales off one side of each.

T-6 Torx I believe.

I'm not sure about the 551 vs 556, but between my 556 and 520 the 520 has much bigger omega springs

I know that there are different sizes of omega springs for different models, so unless someone else chimes in, aquamans approach is the easiest way to find out.

I have a BM 707 Sequel and a few 710s and the omega springs do not interchange - so there are different sizes. Since you're located in the US, I'd just give Benchmade a call and ask...
What's the occasion to think about it?

//edit: ok, i shouldn't just open a bunch of threads and read one by one or should at least refresh them before replying

I don't take my knives apart even for cleaning; however, it looks like that might be the road I'll have to take but I'll give Benchmane a call this week to see what they say.

Thanks for the replys guys.

What brought this up is that I found a full-size Griptilian with the point broken off and the handles broken as if someone had run over it at the range and I took the Omega Springs out of it for spares. Then I got to wondering if the springs would also fit the mini-Griptilian.

If you don't take the knives apart, it doesn't matter.
