Have you had a broken Omega spring in an Axis lock folder?

I had two springs break on my Ritter MiniGrip within a couple months of each other. I emailed Benchmade, and they sent me a new set of springs, screws, and a pocket clip for free since I am stationed overseas. Took about a month to get here, but I didn't mind too much. Out of about 10 BMs I have owned, that is the only time I had any springs break. When I was changing them out, I looked at how they broke, and they had split at an angle, probably just from fatigue. They both broke the same way in the same place.

Apparently someone upped an old thread...

But I'll contribute anyway,
25 benchmades, some over 10 years old, haven't broken a spring yet.

No not never

Owned 2 benchmades, 1 spring broke. The broken spring wouldn't keep me from buying another but having to send the knife back to get a new spring might.

No never my Benchmade 710 holding well.

My first BM, a 940, broke recently, after maybe 3-4 years of ownership.
