Glen, How about showing some of your work? The three I have of yours are outstanding, and I just saw a picture of a 110 you did for a guy in stag that is beautiful!Did the old lock spring have that same length? I would think the spring should run up and butt up close to that ridge. Although unlikely, couldn't that spring eventually walk out of the slot?
Regardless, I agree that thinning it out should lessen the pressure needed to unlock.
Looks nice!

Well, I don't want to flood this thread with my work, but John did ask for some pics. Here's some before and afters that I have shown elsewhere...
An HK Mini Muk blank that I picked up here on BF a few weeks back. One of my first attempts at handle making. A small piece of Jatoba from a coworker... I'm happy with how it turned out. It makes a nice little EDC.

Nice work Fog...Did you leave the holes in the handles for a functional reason, like being able to tie it off as a spearpoint?
So I made my own locking pin because the old one was rusted and broken
but I wasn't confident in the brass to have enough spring to retain it's shape over use so I went and made a new one
Build so far looks okay but the locking retenton on it is a bear, definitleya 2 hand opener and you have to put your oen ahnd into the "fireing line" of the blade to reall close it, may have to pull it back apart and readjust
