Post by peter44 »

Hello Bill , ive just got in a 7" transitional swivel bolster stiletto with a d stamped liner.The slip in kick spring is pushing against the button side of the liner causing it not to close properly, is there an easy way to remove the slip in kick spring so i can reseat it away from the liner :?: many thanks Peter.

No. The springs go in from the side, so the knife has to be disassembled.
