I just bought three new left-handed CRKs:
1. Small Sebenza 31 Box Elder/Satin Steel
2. Small Sebenza 31 Macassar/Boomerang Damascus Steel
3. Small Inkosi
1.) is the easiest to open; 2.) is doable but takes much more force; and 3.) won’t move at all with my thumb - I have to use my other hand.
Question is how long it takes for these knives to become easier to open. My thumb is killing me. Those thumb studs are too small and pointy and HURT.
Any advice welcomed. I already took 2.) apart, cleaned, greased and put it back together (my first time with a CRK). It is better, but still a bit hard to get started. Again 3.) is next to impossible - in part because of the smaller scallop.
Thanks for any help.
