I have a heavy Ti frame lock that has always had a fair amount of lock stick. It's not "impossoble" to disengage and close it..but it's far from smooth.
So, I went browsing around for possible solutions. I was interested in finding a quick fix that didn't require disassembly and/or doing alterations t the handle.
Found a video on YouTube where a guy said to clean the surfaces with alcohol then apply graphite (pencil lead) to the lock surface and the tang. It's not a permanent fix, but it is quick, easy and cheap...and also EFFECTIVE.
I've never seen it mentioned here..but so far I'm pleased by the result. So if you have a super sticky frame lock, try marking up the lock surfaces with a pencil. It works!
