I've been buying some old Victorinox SAKs lately and need to replace the springs in some 74mm and 91mm knives. I don't have a proper "punch" (is that the right term) to knock the old springs out, and I want to buy the appropriate sized ones or a set. Does anyone know what sizes I need for those SAKs or what manufacturer set would work well? Thanks in advance.
 
Sorry can't help. I have the Spring Replacement Kit with the specialized punches.
 
When I replaced the spring on a 74mm knife, I found a finishing nail of the right size, cut the point off, and ground the end flat.
 
I replaced the spring in a 58mm a few years back. I used an eye glass screw driver, I think. Used a pair of quarters to put the new one back in.
 
The spring replacement kit from SAK has the proper punches, work table, and springs. I don't know if the punches are available separately. The double springs come in 3 sizes. The single springs are discontinued.
A jeweler's staking set is useful for spring replacement.
