Kimura spring latch mod

Okay, I did some searching and found the threads I need but none of the videos work. Apparently they've all been removed from youtube. Anyway, I want to do a spring latch on my new Kimura 2. The only info I cn find is for the Kimura 1 that uses milled spacers insted of barrels. ANyone have any info on this?

Re: Kimura spring latch mod

The last one I saw had wire wrapped around the two spacers at the end of the handle, sort of like a figure 8, except with the top third of the 8 missing. The bits of wire sticking up acted as a spring. Hard to explain without pictures but its a simple idea and doesnt involve and tools other than a torx driver. The vid I saw of it looked like it worked well.

Re: Kimura spring latch mod

I was looking into doing this if I decide to get my hands on a Kimura IV. It would be kinda nice to see a spring latch on it so I don't have to worry about the darn thing flying around everywhere when trying to flip it. Props to whoever it was for the original idea. :clap:

Are you gonna make one? Because if you do, I doubt I will. Too much of a hassle.

Re: Kimura spring latch mod

A tutorial would be kick ass and much appreciated! On a side note, my Kimura 2 finally came in today and I must say that I am truly blown away by the quality. The first decent bali that I ever flipped was and original Jaguar classic back in the 90's. Then, a few months ago I got the Mtech twist which I thought was amazing. I absolutely can't believe how much better this knife is in every capacity. I just hope that Bradley keeps making them/having them made (hooray for Kershaw!).

Re: Kimura spring latch mod

Since I don't have a PS3 blu ray player, where can I get a spring like this?

Re: Kimura spring latch mod

Luke, did you even watch the video? Any spring will do, so long as it fits and it has some tension.
