I know you can buy a complete parts kit (Delica or Endura) from Spyderco for $17.50. And yes, it has the backspacer. :thumbup:

Several possibilities. One or both of the two pins molded into tthe backspacer may have broken off. The screws holding backspacer may have loosened enough to allow the handle slabs to spread apart and allow said pins to slip out of their holes in the steel liners. The knife was taken apart and the pins damaged in the process, making it easier for them to pop out of their holes or the knife was improperly reassembled, with the pins mashed between the liners, rather than seated in their holes.+1 :thumbup:
Though I really want to know how that happened.

Is it my imagination or does that backspacer look pretty chewed up besides having the crack in the arm ?
Oops, nope, looks to be bass ackwards. Short leg should be to the front. That definitely could be a factor.Is that spring in the right way ?

For less than the cost of the repair kit you can just send it to Spyderco for repair. I can't imagine they would turn you down.
I'm pretty sure the cost of repair is more than the replacement parts. You have to pay shipping, $5, and an additional $20 for the actual repair.
You don't have to pay anything until they let you know. If they decide it's abuse (I doubt it) then they'll charge you. Return shipping is free unless it is a non-warranty issue.
Wouldn't you think that Spyderco would consider this not to be covered by warranty? It's clear that the pieces were not placed together correctly.
