Congrats on the fine knife!

Give it a little time and if it doesn't resonate with you, I bet someone would dig that 12/12/12 birthdate.

^^^ This. OP, PM or email me if you ever decide to rehome this one. I've got some far more broken that would be happy to come live with you in trade.

Try loosening the pivot screw just ever so slightly. A lot of people will argue that the pivot screw on the sebenza is designed so that you can't over tighten, but from my experience is that you CAN over tighten. See if that helps.

This is what I was goint to suggest. Take the knife down, oil it very sparingly, then put it back together with a little less tension on the pivot screw. With a little break-in period ant that, you should be good.
