CQC-8 Pivot Noise

[tiogatires]

My CQC-8 Pivot has some noise. Not a squeaky noise, more of a tonal noise which resonates through the handles ever so slightly. Friction, not a grinding noise. Disassembled, cleaned and lightly lubed as I do with every other folder I own. Centered perfectly, action is superb. Just has a noise. Can’t figure it out. Anyone else seen this? It really doesn’t bother me too much, but if I can get it to stop, I wouldn’t mind.

It’s usually the detent ball rubbing on the blade. Try a little lube on the detent track.

I put some 85 weight on the detent ball itself. I’ll try and get some on the track as well and see if that helps. Thank you for your time!
