Sent this (assembled) ZDP 189 Stretch 2 into Spyderco for a sharpening and requested a new back spacer to replace the stock unit, which appears to be melted or squished. The action of the lock is very weak and the blade can be shaken loose easily from closed.
Anyway I was told that Golden doesn’t stock parts for Japanese models due to changes made to model lines over the years, which surprised me since I have had parts replaced before on a Delica.
This leaves me with a need for an aftermarket solution. I sent an email to Cuscadi whose response was iffy due to uncertainty of fit, are there any suggestions from the Spyderco fan group that can point me in the right direction?
I thought about offering to send the whole knife to Germany so Cuscadi could fit the part to the knife, or maybe scales too but would be escalating costs. Better than a useless knife yes but I would prefer to keep it as inexpensive as reasonably possible.
