DIREWARE Locking Bar

I have a new Direware Tailwhip, in fact I have three, one is extremely difficult to flip open unless the lower fingers are place below the pocket clip which is difficult to do all the time. I assume its the locking bar because its opens very easy once the blade breaks the handle.

I notice the single hole in the non flipping blade vs the three holes in the two others that work perfectly? I wonder f that has anything to do with the functioning.

Secondly I wonder if the shape of the flipper and its angle mean that I am pressing toward vs pressing backwards to flip open?

Any recommendations? When I send to Direware it takes many weeks to get returned.

Thank you
