This knife is a 05247JLP Tested xx Case.. (i think), anyways it has 1 broken backspring as u can see in the pics and has no snap left in the other blade. I just love this knife and i have been looking to replace the springs if its possible. I contacted the Case repair dept. and the offered to give me a new knife but couldnt fix it because they didnt have parts. What should i do.. or does anyone have a knife like this that is for parts??? Does anyone know how it could be fixed?
Thanks guys!

Looks like a 5275 SP "Moose" pattern to me.

It very well could be that pattern.. Thanks! it was my grandpas knife and I found it with some of his others but this is the only one that could possibly be fixed... Any ideas how?

If you look in this same forum you will see a topic for back springs. You can make a back spring yourself in less than an hour. Really there is nothing to it. I just made another set for a leg knife from an old butcher knife that was just the right thickness.
