I got one of these (not an auto) and can't unlock it(normally). The push button doesn't go far enough down into the recess to free the blade.
1.There is a tapered cone that holds the blade locked. It recesses into the clip side handle when I push button, but not enough to release the blade.
2. I used a rounded piece of plastic to depress the button far enough release the blade, but that action causes the button to go too far into the handle and get hung up.
3. I observed the blade sits flush against the clip side handle, (shouldn't there be a washer to hold the blade away from the handle, thereby giving a space???? Either that or a taller button, so I can push the button farther down???
There is no way this is going to work as is. I've never had problems with Tiwan knives before.
Any thoughts?
