CL,
Sometimes Government specifications can amass to cause a "not ideal" situation.
The springs on this knife are subject to about 25 pages of specs & tests. They pass these tests fine but make it tough at best for a youngster to use the knife.
In my experience about 5 years hard use by an adult should soften it up (hardly practical!)
Please send it back to Camillus to my attention & I will do my best to make it more "civilian friendly".
Tell your son not to feel bad, even Rambo broke a nail on this one!
