How To Sog Seal Xr Ti, spring tensioning advice

[Faggiante]

Hi, guys.
I have recently become the happy owner of a Sog Seal xr ti.
After lubricating the mechanics the flipper has become very hard, almost impossible to open. This is due to the fact that the lubrication has made the movement of the harmonic steel springs more fluid, making their locking action more energetic.

I removed the scales from the knife and I noticed the presence on the titanium folders of three small holes for anchoring the springs, with consequent three types of tension.

I anchored the spring to the hole furthest from the pin so as to decrease the tension.

Now the flipper works perfectly. Did I do it right? Is the lock in the open position still safe or could the knife close inadvertently?

Thanks-you.

Not much love here for SOG. Have you lost any fingers yet? Still have the knife or sold it?

Hi K knucklegary
I noticed that SOG is not very popular here. Too bad.

I still have this folder as well as all my ten fingers, at least for now. I don't use it much this knife.

My question still stands, also because SOG doesn't answer me! incredible.

thanks for considering me.
