I just received an 0561 (serial # in the 3200's) and the knife is actually pretty good. The centering is great, it is rock solid with no play in any direction. Grinds are even, etc. Other than a small issue with the G10 not covering the liners all the way where the blade stops meet the liner, the only problem it has is a sticky lock. I actually did the "sharpie" trick and it worked out well-still not perfect but MUCH better. The knife was sold as NIB and it looks like it. My question is this, is it likely that the stickiness will go away even after the sharpie wears? In other words, will some break in time and some tlc (sharpie applications) make this problem go away? Looking for some real world examples of people that have experienced this issue. Thanks!
