Lock slippage? how to fix

[wolf5391]

The knife is a frame lock and and any time negative force is applied the lock bar will slip and most of the time fail.

lock up is anywhere from 20-40% depending on the opening force.

There is a microscoping marring on the face of the frame lock.

My question is does anyone know how to fix slippage?

Do I have to carbidize the lock face?

Do I remove a tiny amount of material on the tang (very tiny amount) of the blade and bend the lock bar harder to add more force?

Thanks in advance
