Manix 2 Black light weight has EXTREMELY hard lock.

It took 2-3 weeks for mine to break in. And yeah, one finger operation is impossible with the CBBL. I'm fine with that though, I don't think that's not how it was meant to be used.

This is the natural way to disengage it:

Try this technique...With the butt of the handle nestled in your palm, use you thumb AND index finger to grip both sides of the lock then pull it. I've done it so much that its like second nature to me and I can open the knife just as quickly as an axis or compression lock.

It will break in with use.
Mine has been my main edc since last May and I bought a backup one shortly after.
If I set them side by side now the new one is way stiffer.

I just received a used lightweight Manix(s110v) and the first few days it seemed hard to close, but I am getting the hang of it with practice.
