Knifesmith for folder?

Cold Steel TwistMaster and Opinel folding knives kind've seem to fit this forum.

Please identify knifesmith/makers who can repair such twist-to-lock knives. I include in the term "repair" blade replacement.

Both of the knives you mentioned are extremely labor intensive to repair....which is why you're not getting many replies. I have "repaired" one of the Opinel folders in the past, and to be honest, it would be far more cost effect to simply purchase a new one. Speaking only for myself, for repair work I charge materials plus $65 per hour.....and for either of those knives you mentioned, you're looking at 3-5 DAYS in labor time to replace a blade. Adds up to a lot of money....which is why most folks just buy a new one.
