Native help required

Hi Guys,

I own the Native FRN and the Delica 4. The native does not close with a snap like my delica 4.

Is there any way to adjust the tension? The knife is fastened with rivets. It is also unused.

Thanks in advance.

Probably a good thing that your pinned Native is a little tight rather than loose.
But with a few well placed drops of oil and a decent break-in it'll be good.
And nothing breaks them in quicker than some good hard use.

The Native is much better being a little on the tight side than the former. Barman is right, a little oil should smooth it out a bit. Pinned knives are very tricky to adjust and require a few special tools that not everyone has laying around. Tightening one up is easier than loosening them up.
