Benchmite leaf spring replacement

Post by ChuckD »

Hello Vagrant,
Would you know where a guy might get his hands on some benchmade benchmite 3100 leaf springs or a suitable replacement? I do know that a clone model was around, years back but have never actually seen one.
I have several 3100s and 4 of the manual variety which I'd love to convert!
I am also open to 'making' leaf springs but would need much guidance from you! Or maybe some of the other, much more knowledgeable than i , members.
Thanks very much.
I love the site, mostly i creep around reading old stuff.....have a great night
Chuck

You might be able to have one made. Haven't seen that knife for sale in quite awhile.
