Victorinox Scissor Spring Multi-Tool, Medium

Wow, a simple (but often required) fix for my now-discontinued "Executive" model Swiss Army Knife! Love this model -- no big corkscrew to get in the way, but all the necessities- scissors, two blades, toothpick, tweezers, file...and an orange peeler that functions well as a small-screw screwdriver. Use the scissors almost every day, and glad to have replacement springs that fit it!

They are really great quality!

Works for the pliers on Swiss Army knives but doesn’t work for the scissors. You can press it into the hole but it won’t stay aligned when you depress the scissors or close them. I tried the large size, then this medium size and now I believe I need the small size

Great service, fast delivery. I have Victorinox Fisherman. The spring on the scissors finally broke. I wasn’t sure about the size n ordered the medium size. Should have gotten the large size but it still works the medium size.

Excelente, estuve buscandolo por mucho tiempo

If your broken spring is just shy of one inch (~25mm) from the round end of the spring to the bend, then this is the spring for you. Getting the old spring out was fairly easy using a punch with a diameter of the spring curly thingamajiggy at the end. Getting the new spring in is easiest if you gently clamp the knife in a vise with the scissors or pliers supported by the flat surface of the vise jaw, and then insert the flat side of the spring into the thin gap of the spring seat at a slight diagonal (not parallel to the tool). Using a punch of slightly larger diameter or other flat tool, carefully and somewhat forcibly, press down on the spring and somewhat forward such that the force tends to "close" the loop. It took me a few tries but I had it done in less than five minutes of fiddling with it.

Sometimes the springs on older knifes get weak and/or bent or broken. NO PROBLEM with these replacements at hand. They are very easy to replace with a small punch to remove the old ones and small hammer and punch. With proper cleaning and oiling and healthy springs the action of the sprung tools can be like-new throughout the life of the fine knifes that Victornox produces. (NOTE: look CLOSELY at the shape of the springs in the pictures and on the knife needing replacement, and be SURE your are purchasing the correct ones --- there are two or three types from the manufacturer and are easy to distinguish one from the other. The cost is essentially the same but they are NOT interchangeable, functionally.)

I'm so happy I found this. Thought I would have to scrap using my scissors. This save me from doing that.
