hey everyone, so I just got a hollow ground Spyderco manix 2, the 154cm model with the clear button lock. I felt grit when opening and closing so I decided to take it apart and clean it. In doing so, the spring came right off the lock cage. I finally got it back on with crazy glue and then I was putting in the backspacer and had to engage the lock to get the last screw in and then that’s when the lock cage snapped in two.
I know this is a common problem with this older model and I was wondering what to do about it. Spyderco CS is closed today for Memorial Day and I’m not sure if they’d just give me another one (which I don’t want) or an improved one possibly? Or can I send the whole thing to them?
Any help would be great. I saw other threads suggesting a fix using a drill and pins but I’m not that patient or experienced enough to accomplish something like that. What should I do?
