I have a hogue folding knife ex01 tanto model and I was oiling up the parts and now every time I press the round button to unlock the knife from the open position the button makes a very annoying noise because of the oil inside of there makes it squeak a bit. It kind of sounds like a singe.

I've pressed it quite a bit since and wiped off everything that came out each time, it also seeps out a little from the locking slide button. But it still makes the noise.

Any fixes that don't require me to take the knife apart? Will it eventually go away?
 
Try using compressed air on it and blowing out all the excess lube.
 
Isopropyl alcohol should do fine. Maybe try some Tuf Glide as it will leave a dry film to lubricate your knife with.
