Does anyone know what could be wrong? I have a Sebenza 25 that has worked perfectly for years but all of a sudden the knife hits a "bump" just before the blade is in the completely closed position.
The knife hits this "bump" when you open and close the knife. By "bump" I mean that it feels like it's hitting something and it becomes more difficult to close and to open, as if something is getting stuck within the pivot system.
After this problem started, I disassembled the knife to see if anything looked abnormal inside, but nothing looked out of place. The washer with the notch that is supposed to sit in the hole to keep it in place, is in where it's supposed to be and I can't see anything else that looks strange.
I clean it up and reassemble it but the problem is still there.
Has anyone else had this problem? Nothing has happened to the knife and I haven't even been messing with it in any way.
It's a Sebenza 25th Anniversary Edition made in 2013.
Thanks for reading.
