just to follow up; I received both tr-3 and tr-4. I am amazed how much i like the tr-4 manual. I can't find a thing I don't like. Tr-3 I also like but have a serious problem with the frame lock. It is very early in it's lock up and it sticks.
Thanks for the feed back. The Acies is the original.
How long did it take your TR-3 to work in. I like the knife and like it to replace my current EDC but the lock drives me crazy.

Some things that may help a sticky frame/linerlock:
1. Make sure the lock-tang is clean of any lubricants.
2. Try the pencil trick. Use the pencil to mark the spot where the lock-face contacts the lock-tang.
3. Try the magic-marker trick. Use the marker to mark the spot where the lock-face contacts the lock-tang.
4. Try a Sebenza or an Umnumzaan. (IMO) Actually, my NIB Zaan was a bit sticky. Sent it back to CRK and it came back fine. I'm at the point where I only carry a Sebbie. It is, they are, they always will be...FAULTLESS.
Obviously, I'm opinionated, but I've had at least ten Sebbies and they all were the same...PERFECT.
