I have had a couple of REKAT Sifu since they first came out. I got one of the red handled Bladeforums ones and then when the one groove Bladeforums ones came out I got one with the matching seriel number to my red one. From the begining my red one locked up mint. From the begining my single groove one did not. You could hear the differance in lockup.
I DO NOT spine wack!! But just a light tap against my knee unlocks the single groove version. I always wanted to get that fixed. Is it possible? Who could do it? I like them and just hated that I got a lemon at the peak of the REKAT fiasco.:(

Well I managed to fix the problem myself. I have always babied this Sifu since it came out during the quality and lock issues. I have always lightly thumbed it open with the stud, never giving it the swing that gives the blade momentum and smacks open with force. Today I did just that, repeatedly. I figured I had nothing to loose at this point. I guess all my Sifu needed was a little break in.:o Now it locks up solid as a rock and I can see the area where it is more properly seating into the lock groove. How's that for weird. I guess I should have trashed it a little up front when I got it and I would have realized it was OK.:D
