Hey everyone. New here. Just ordered a Pena Mula X series second hand, and out of the box I see a big problem. The detent that keeps the knife closed is jammed to the point where it takes two hands to open it sometimes. Once past the detention it flies open and falls closed. But it won’t flick open like I’ve seen it on YouTube reviews. Can anyone recommend a place that fixes knives or mods them? Thanks.
 
Hey,
When I got mine--I was worried--but you just have to rest your first 3 fingers on the clip and push your thumb along the chamfer.
I spent a couple days killing my thumb but you'll get the hang out of it.
Great knife.

Thanks so much for the reply. None of the YouTube reviews mentioned it needing any break in. Let alone being locked shut. I assumed it was defective. So you have a Mula now and it flicks open easily?
 
Yea its super smooth and the detent has loosened up a lot.
Putting a little bit of lube on the lock-bar insert but running the bearings dry helps it break in quicker and get it more drop-shutty(drop-shuttier?)
Give it a few days and you'll love it.
