Sticky Opening? Polish the thrust washers

[iamsmiling]

My EDC is a small regular Sebbie that I have used very little recently sitting at my desk doing budgets. I probably hadn't taken it down to clean/lube for 3-4 months and it became a bit tougher to open than I expected.

I broke it down this weekend to clean and noticed the thrust washers were mildly tarnished. A couple of moments with a small square of 1200 grit wet/dry paper fixed that issue and greatly improved the opening of the knife.

Thanks for all the previous threads on this, it really works.
