All About Pocket Knives

Hello, This knife has very strong springs. The pen blade snaps open so fast that it bounces back before your finger releases the button/lock. I have tried a few things to fix it but nothing has quite worked. Has anyone seen this ? Any ideas how to fix it ?

I had a Schrade that worked like that, eventually the spring broke so I guess that solved the problem.

The liners should be crimped where the blade bounces back.

yes i've tried tightening it up with different shims. i didn't want to get it too tight. Are these knives designed to fly all the way open or just unlock ?

They are designed to open fully.
Tightening the blade generally has little effect, and you can easily damage the knife.
Deform the liner on the end.

Yes Ive tightened the knife to factory specs. I'll try deforming the liner as the specified.

I have a question on how to fix fish tails when the blade peaks. Is there a way to use silver solder to add material to the blade or mating part so the knife is similar to the way it was when new ? I have had good luck fixing slow blades using silver solder.

Silver solder will wear too quickly in that situation.
Laser welding with steel works extremely well, though.
