New Switchblade...Might Have an Issue

Post by bunnymud »

I love the knife, but it doesn't open all the way without a little help from a wrist flick. The spring seems fine, but I noticed this and thought it may be a factor. I've oiled it as well. Maybe filing a bit down would help?

Loosen it a little bit by moving the blade side to side.
