Hey all, I just got a Techno for Christmas, it's a new knife, early-ish lockup, and I really enjoy it.. However, the past few days I've started to notice a little rock lock, it's not huge, but I can hear it and just barely feel it when I move the blade up and down. I haven't done anything crazy with the knife, mainly just opened it and closed it a bunch of times like I tend to do with new knives. Is this common with a new Techno, or is there a problem? I've seen it mentioned somewhere that it just has to break in and the lock-rock will go away, but I'm not sure if that's true.
 
Clean it with soap and water quick to make sure its not oil then flick her open hard a few times and do a couple hard push cuts with a good hand squeeze. See if that sets here in and make sure the pivot is not allowing any side to side play. If that does not do it. Then send it in for a great experience in customer service.
