I went into a knife shop here to buy tuff glide, and there was a small stars & stripes Sebenza waving to me in the display case, so I bought that as well.
Question - it seems ungodly difficult to open and close! I took it apart and applied tuff glide and wiped it down, and put it back together. I have opened and closed it enough times that I think I am getting a callous on my thumb, and it does not seem like that blade is ever going to flick out.
It feels very smooth, but seems to require undo pressure to open it. Closing it is a little better now then when I brought it home, but it takes a *lot* of pressure to release the frame lock as well.
Other knives I have in that price range flick right open. Is there something I have to do to bring it up to snuff? Or is that just the nature of the beast?
