I was trying to cut through a skate bushing (don't ask) with my little SAK this morning and have done it a mischief.
I pushed down to hard and the blade folded a little further back than where it should have been and now it won't fold away completely.
If I push on the back of the blade it will close a bit further but it springs back out and when I pull it open its like free, unsprung travel to about 45deg where it stiffens up and requires a bit more force to open the rest of the way out. Any ideas if this can (easily) be remedied?
Maybe... Sounds like the leaf spring behind the blade is either bent or jammed with one of the other parts. Have a look down in the body of the knife and see if you can work out which.
They're not easy to take apart and fix but it is possible.
