Forumite  |
ok well it's not actually mine, i gave it to a friend some months ago. well the way he opens it, he does a flick of the wrist, with nothing on the thumb stud or axis lock. i told him it is bad for the knife...and look what happened!:  this is on both sides..first time ever the omega springs(i think) failed on me. i'm gonna be sending it in tomorrow. has this happened to anyone else on here? ------------------------------------------------- 710HS, 943bk, 942, 745, 12800bk-801 Instigator, mini pika II, | ||

Never had an omega spring break. Both springs broke? That is the first I've heard of that. | |||

yeah both broke. one after another...while he was flipping it. he noticed it got a lot looser, so he handed it to me to check it out. i flipped it open with the thumb stud and heard a snap... ------------------------------------------------- 710HS, 943bk, 942, 745, 12800bk-801 Instigator, mini pika II, | |||

The 527 isn't a heavy blade by any means. Strange that both sides broke, I still haven't had any failures on any of mine. I know it's a PITA to send it up but they'll fix it for sure.

Very off indeed...I don't think I have read of anyone else snapping both although I am sure it has happened. Tell your friend to stop flipping it when he gets it back! Boomerangs 'n Butterflies: An Osborne Alliance | Member #960 | |||
