Just picked up a Blink in the Black Tie finish - simple and understated, it is (yeah, I'll say it) elegant. On problem: the opening action is so tight, I have to hold the knife in my right hand and pull open the blade with my left. After it gets going, it's a reflex test to see if I can get my left hand out of the way before that sharp little blade does its thing. I now see why SOG added the little lever on the back of newer Blink models.
So, what am I doing wrong? Does this thing just need a tune up? Can I adjust the frame or the spring to help this out? Even though I am a 30 year electrician with a grip like a bench vise, am I too much of a wimp to make this little dress knife work for me?
Lemme know - I await the collected wisdom of greater minds.
