Replacement Kick Springs for your Hubertus-Solingen Brand Springer.
On occasion your Hubertus may experience a broken spring.. Springs are genuine factory replacements made from Spring Steel. We have replacement springs to fit most any size Hubertus you may have...
To insure that you receive the correct spring when you order, make sure you measure your knife in the open position. Make sure you list the spring # that corresponds with the overall size of your knife (measure your knife with the blade open). List the spring # from the drop down box below so you will receive the correct one....If you are unsure of the size, send us a picture via email [email protected] and we will tell you what size you need.
These springs may work on other brands in addition to Hubertus, however it more than likely will have to be modified to work. Our custom shop can do this. We will only guarantee that the spring will fit if it is installed in a genuine Hubertus knife; not another knife brand or Hubertus "knock off" = (Model similar in appearance made in China or Taiwan). Unfortunately, like everything else out there, there are "counterfeit" or "knock off" Hubertus models. This is why you should only purchase your knives from a reputable dealer! = AIK-Adams International Knifeworks = www.adamsknifeworks.com

Why did your spring break to begin with? Moisture is a spring's worst enemy..If you carry your knife and use it on a daily basis, moisture from your body and the elements eventually will break down the carbon steel spring...
Keep your knife clean, and wipe it down on a daily basis..Too much lubrication is like a magnet for dirt and will cause your knife to clog and malfunction. If you have access to a air compressor "blow" you knife out on occasion....
Also most importantly you must use the proper lube for your knife...Only AIK's OIL SLICK is recommended for Italian Made and German Made Lever Action Autos with Leaf Spring Mechanisms. Any other lube you purchase may cause issues with the operation and/or function of your knife.

If your Hubertus is part of a collection, it is a good idea to store your leaf spring autos in the "open" position..(with the blade open)...Also investing in a de-humidifier is one of the best investments a knife collector or gun collector can make.
If you want AIK to install your spring for you....AIK can do this for you....The cost for AIK to install your spring is $49.95. (This is for the spring and installation). Return shipping is $14.95 via UPS. AIK will lubricate, and inspect your knife for any other problems. The final price is $64.90.
It is not a simple task to install your new spring; in other words you just can't drop it in and go and the knife will be fixed. You may have to modify the spring slightly which includes bending it to fit your knife as older models are slightly different than newer production models.
Also, in some instances it may be necessary to open up your knife to replace the kick spring; the old spring may be lodged inside the handle and when it is, it is very difficult to remove without damaging your knife. This is why we HIGHLY RECOMMEND you have AIK replace the spring in your knife.
We never had a Hubertus knife that we could not repair. In fact, we have received other Hubertus models after they have been to other so called "repair shops", and had to fix their problem on top of the original problem. Don't be a "skin-flint" or "tight-wad" and try to save a few bucks because you may see a lower price for repair service. We have been around since the 80's for a reason. We have seen a lot of dealers, customizers, repair shops, and websites come and go. AIK is still here to serve you.
If you think you are an expert in Hubertus Knife Repair this is fine. Make sure you know what you are doing. ALL SPRINGS SALES ARE FINAL. (What we mean by this is once you starting bending the spring this way and that, because you can't fit it in for one reason or another, or if you order the wrong size, and/or mangle the spring up by incorrectly installing it, don't expect a refund because you tried to save a few bucks by fixing it yourself.) So, if you are going to install your own spring, make sure you order the correct spring, (if in doubt send us a picture, and we will identify the spring size you need).
