chokwe problems!

[yoko]

My chokwe has developed horrible lock stick, anyone else have this problem?

I've tried pencil lead and it didn't help at all

First try washing it out without soapy water then mark the tang of the blade where the lock engages with a sharpie.

Thank you, Sharpie was the other trick I forgot about , also the locks wearing on a very odd angle...is that normal for these?

I had noticed one of mine sticking a bit. I took a pencil to it, and that helped. That is one of the thinnest and smallest contact patches on a R.I.L. Both of mine appear to be wearing normally.

My Chokwe is stickier than my Techno. Graphite works well.

In my case pencil lead works amazing.

Hmmm, think mine has to go in for warranty, the lock face is wearing in the lower corner more than any where else
