Spydie Ayoob a little tight... how to fix?

[Stiletto Raggio]

Along with the Bwana I jsut got came my major purchase, the Spyderco Ayoob. The materials are incredible, the blade is razor sharp, and the handle is grippy as all get out. My only problem is the really stiff lock it has. I have CLP to lube it up, but is there anything else I can do to make this knife a little easier to open?

Chances are it will loosen up with use. I would leave it though. Many times when you loosen up the pivot, it induces blade play. If its too stiff to open with one hand then send it in to spyderco, but on my spydercos with adjustable pivots, I keep them pretty stiff and tight. I do want any blade play. I also do not "flip" open my knives.
