I purchased a CRKT folding Hissatsu mdl. knife from a large yard sale. The seller said he was selling it because he had too many knifes (if that's possible). The folder didn't appear to be used,no nicks in the handle material or the blade. I inspected the blade and it didn't look to have been sharpened.

Problem; it's suppose to be a one hand opener with spring assist. The spring is so tight there is no way I can open it without using two hands. Is there a way this can be lightened so it can be opened properly. Any help will be appreciated.
 
Mine was a bear to open as well, I ended up grinding/polishing the end of the torsion bar that rides on the blade's tang to make it easier to open. It was a slow and tedious process but worth it IMO.

I would get another Hissatsu as it's a fun & inexpensive knife... :thumbup:
