Squeaky 0560

[docbp87]

Got my 0560 in the mail yesterday from KershawGuy (really fast shipping!), and have been playing around with it non-stop. Everything looks and feels great (lock up is right at 50%, fit and finish perfect, etc.), but the one thing driving me crazy is that there is a loud whining, squeaking noise when I close the knife (and occasionally when opening). I have tried adjusting the pivot to see if it has to do with that, but no dice. I have also cleaned and lubed everything really well, and it still squeaks. The only thing I have found that prevents the noise, is if I apply light pressure to the lock bar when opening or closing. This leads me to believe it has something to do with the detent ball maybe? This is easily the most expensive knife I own, and I want it to be flawless...
