Hi All,
Wondering if anyone else has had the experience of a MOD folder getting sticky upon opening. My Duane Dieter is getting progressively more difficult to open. It's getting to the point where it requires two hands and a concentrated effort to get it to release.
I had it apart last night and couldn't find anything binding it but I did figure out how the blade stays shut. There is a small grind on one edge of the blade that engages the inside edge of the handle when fully closed. I would file this just a hair but I'm afraid of screwing it up and ending up with a knife that will not stay closed at all.
What should I do? Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Peter Atwood
