The heaviest use my folding knives get are things that a slipjoint could handle. For heavier stuff I have fixed blades. Is there a permanent or semi-permanent solution to lock stick for liner locks? It doesn't matter if these solutions make the lockup less secure - for my uses the amount of force the lock takes is very minimal.

Permanent lock stick fixes

What knife do you have that is sticking? Is it a new knife? It might just need to be broken in. Or if there is oil or something on the lock face this may cause it to over travel and would make the lock stick. Use a pencil (or I think some people may use a sharpie) on where the liner comes in contact with the lock face. Those usually work for me.
It might also stick if the blade is flung open to fast causing the lock to over travel. Hope this helps!

I am aware of carbidizing but if possible I was wondering if there's a DIY solution.
