NEEDED: FM1 Action Spring Lost During Cleaning Out Manufacturing Debris

[Fixed or Flipper]

Apparently, contact with Cold Steel using their online form is totally ineffective.
I have done so three times, resulting in NO REPLY or action from the company.

One of my cats will probably find the spring before Cold Steel takes any action.

did ya try a magnet sweep?

yeah they're terrible. they won't have parts.....not since gsm took over.

If you are working on small metal things, a magnet with a telescopic wand is a must. Large, clear plastic bags are a good idea, too. Disassembling things inside of one can make your life a lot easier. Good luck!

If someone has one they may be able to measure it and get you general specs, or if not measure the slot and grab a bunch from a store like Grainger or MSC that sell parts and go with one that fits and you like. I did that with the ad15 to find an action I liked.


Fwiw I'm also still "waiting" for a reply since May to my cs cs request for a new lock bar for my Magnacut Recon 1.

Curious if the Demko Shark Lock spring is the same size, since Demko sells extras, at least they do for the 20.

Unfortunately, I don’t have an FM1 to compare to my Demko AD20, but maybe someone else here does.

Or maybe a Spyderco Manix.

Or anything else with a compression spring.

A clicky pen?
