I got my delta z knives in the mail today. I'm not real happy with one of them. The lockup is real poor. After the blade swings off of the ball bearing, it gets very very hard to finish opening all the way. Its just that last click or so, but it makes for a tough to open knife.
It also is hard to release the liner ,,,,,,,, it kinda feels like its catching on some rough metal. Takes a lot of thumb pressure to push the liner aside to close the knife. It grabs/sticks.. I'll have to polish it .. that should fix the problem.
I am not returning it so I might just take it apart and see what I can do to make it open smoother.
The other knife is real smooth. Not the same problem. BUT it does have a different lockup.
Both are liners.
The one with the problem has a half moon cut out in the blade.. which then butts into the stop pin. Maybe the design of the knife is poor
I do like the cowbone handle its nice an smooth......feels good in my hand.
Oh well
