Help, my liner lock sticks

[popopine]

Hello, any suggestions on how to remedy a liner lock that sticks? The liner travels about half way across the tang and stop - seems pretty far in. I really have to thumb force it to close the blade.

I was thinking of shaving down the tang on more of an angle so when i apply thumb pressure the liner more easily releases. Bad idea?

Again any suggestions on how to fix would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks! - newbe

Try taking a pencil and scribbling on the top of the liner where it engages the tang. It'll give you a thin layer of graphite which is a pretty decent lubricant, but it's dry, so it'll stay put.
I was having the same issue with my ZT 0200, and doing that fixed it perfectly.
