Ti Endura Damascus question

[Dopic1]

I just purchased a used Ti Endura Damascus in great shape but it seems to bind at the pivot and requires some effort to open. I have lubed it and loosened the screws but it's still somewhat hard to open. Any suggestions?

Send it in to Spyderco for the spa treatment.

Use some dish detergent and hot water.
Scrub it out really well, blow the water out/off, lube, adjust, and enjoy.

I'll give it a try

after a year of daily diligent use, and proper maintenance, it will become smooth as butter without a doubt!

this ^^^ and with use it will wear in. I have found that true with all my Spydies. I think Damascus steel especially. Beautiful knife by the way.
