Give Kershaw a call and they'll send you a spring free of charge . A great company

hello mate,ive tried kai cutlery,but they will not ship to uk

No. As long as the spring is not at or near it’s elastic limits, it will be fine pretty much forever. I have seen video of pistol magazines loaded for approaching 100 years that function fine.

All I'm saying is that at some level, there is additional damage to the spring. It might not matter in a human time scale, but creep/cold flow is a real thing. Academic answer aside, it likely won't affect the function of a well designed magazine spring for hundreds of years or longer.

Some more discussion on the topic here.

would you happen to have a 0350 spring in that box of yours that you would be willing to post?happy to pay
for spring and post

If I had one I'd send it to you. I've since sold my assisted ZTs off.

Been into Kershaw knives for years. I never had a problem with the spring.

Or just de assist it, every ZT or Kershaw that I had with speedsafe I removed the spring and it was 100 times better that way.

And if it can't be de-assisted I don't want it.

Assisted knives are awful.
