Sticky Lock on Black Blade LUM Chinese

[jimmer_5]

Hey -

Have any of you that have a Black coated Lum Chinese with the Foliage green handle noticed that the lock sticks when you try to close it? I have cleaned all the excess oil off the lock face and it's still sticky.

I just want to know if they are all like this by nature or if it's just mine. The coating covers the locking surface, and I'm wondering is that is the contributing factor.

Let me know what you guys have experienced.

Thanks - Jim


PS - Other than this, these knives are AWESOME! My satin bladed Foliage Green Lum is nice and smooth overall, as is my ZDP-189 Lum.

Well all I can contribute is that I have two ZDP's and a new uncoated VG-10 and they all release the lockbar very smoothly.
