My grandpa's knife.

[Spongebobby]

My Grandpa passed two knives to me, a large linerlocking uncle henry belt knife, and a case peanut. The nut's got probably 60-80 % percent of the blades left, decent enough for light duty. But the springs seem to have no snap left in them at all, this dissapoints me cause i would like to use it, any way i could get just a tiny bit of strength back in the springs?

Maybe posting pictures of it will help... with the springs, of course

I'll get on that as soon i can!

You might be able to send it to case to replace the backsprings, but the new ones will look shiny and will stay shiny.
Also, Have you thought about retiring the old gal' and searching for an identical knife to use? I would hate to lose it..
Hope this helps

My grandpa would kick my a** if i bout a new knife when i had a good one sittin there. He lost plenty of knife, the large schrade is actually the third he got replaced on warranty.

Just tryin to help...Have you given it a good cleaning. I have found a few old knives that seem to have weak springs, give them a real cleaning,and some come back to life. Just depends, sadly some don't.
