can you fix the blade if it were to broke to be spring loaded again?

In theroy its possible but youd have to open it up and see what you need to fix but its fixed in to the strap mount and its not screwed or nailed in so youd have to break it to fix it

We were able to open it up and get the spring working again. It unscrews easily with a screwdriver, however, where it screws in it is plastic so it strips easily. The blade was flying out, so we took some crazy glue and built up the little ledge that stops the blade from flying out.

There is a tool bit exchanger and an interchangable saw/file. Scissors, blades, and other parts are factory replaceable under warranty.

The blade is not replaceable, I was told by a Fiskars Rep that if the blade were to dull or become damaged I would have to replace the whole thing. I don't know if the sticks are replaceable or not.

Yes, with a saw. However, you will not be able to re attach it in a manner that it will be usable again.

yes. there's a small lever on the back side and if you apply pressure the blade will flick open. The blade is spring loaded. It's ideal for one-hand blade usage. This is a great knife!

it works fine for me, but i guess after some uses, you need to change the blade( change to the other side or change the blade).

Yes. If it breaks, you can ship it to Estwing or probably take it to any retailer who sells Estwing for exchange (and they'll send the broken one off for replacement or refund). To get it to slice paper, use a stone with leather or a belt sander.

the only think i know is to send talk to company and send it to them. it is worth it, it comes back fixed and sharp, i have never broken one myself. But yeah, if you should be able to send it to the company

Paul, Admittedly the knife was machined blade to 'spring' to tightly - mine is tight also. I could/can open mine even with mild arthritis in my thumb. I would use a small drop of WD 40 on each blade joint and work it a number of times, it should loosen.

There are two bolts that, when removed, allow the blade to be removed. As to replacing it, I must query the vendor for part number and source. Hope this helps.

i would not suggest that. you could crack the plastic or even distort the cutting blades. my guess is that the blades are tempered.

I don't know and I don't think you can but it looks very durable that will last. I don't think you can find blade replacements either as it would be to hard to install. I don't use it that frequently as yet but I am happy with it. I recommend it for the price but be aware the it comes with the adaptor connected that it is from another country so you will need to buy from a cheap bargain stores an adaptor connection to suit our Aussie power points.

It worked reasonably well, you have to replace the plastic blades when they his roots, I recall receiving a few extra with the blade. I have not used the ones with springs. good luck

Not that I know of. I haven't had my replacement blade crack any yet so it may have been something wrong with the hardening process they were using on the old blades which they fixed with the new ones. This is a total guess though. I can say though that I only hand wash my blade now so maybe that is a factor as well. The old one developed cracks pretty early and I've put this new one through a lot of use.

Yes, but be careful with hitting stuff, because the blade is not good quality.

You COULD with some effort and pliers, but it might not be able to undo. You will also fatigue the metal. If you do this, it should be with the understanding that it's a one time mod that can't really be fixed.
