    That was a 10 for sure. That bakelite really made it look great. I like switchblades, too.

    Looks very good to me. I knew you were not going to be able to weld the spring steel back and have it work. But you did make a new one and that was your best option. I bet deer antler would have looked equally good as well. But the end results with the scales you used worked great. Thumbs Up!

    I knew right away that you had your work cut out for you. Looks awesome. Take pride in your accomplishment there. Good job. Knives are great! Switchblades are very great.

    Love the Bakelite Marbling effect. Complements the polished finish of the metal. 10 - 10 - 10.

    10/10. I would have given a 9/10, but you replaced the spring bar (better than wield repair). Got 6/10 just because of those bakelite scales. They turned out beautifully. I really need to consider getting some old bakelite material from the flea markets and whatnot, just to remake handles with. I had no idea it could look that nice.

    Very nice work !!! Your attention to detail is amazing !!! 10 all the way for me !! I love the handle material I think is amazing how you take something that is broken and missing parts and put it back together....better than brand new !! You have a real gift all the work you put in shows in the end !!! Fantastic work !!! 👍👍

    You saved it from being thrown into the the garbage and from the switchblade community, I thank you. It may have started out life as a cheap switchblade, but now, it's a nice switchblade. Thanks. 😊

    It's a 10. I'm no expert but when I saw that spring broken, I know It couldn't be fixed by welding, because the heat would make it lose the temper. Making another spring was the right choice, and I noticed you kept it cool while sanding. The result was great.

    In the USA, it varies by state and even county. Where I live, they are fully legal and if I am carrying a knife in my pocket instead of a sheath knife on my belt, it’s most often a Smith & Wesson M&P OTF switchblade.

    10/10 easy.
    In the UK knives with any kind of assisted opening are illegal to own, as are balisong (butterfly) knives. And recently zombie knives.
    For a knife to be legal carry it has to
    a) have a blade less than 3 inches,
    b) not have any lock mechanism,
    c) 2-hand opening
    d) you need a good reason to be carrying it.
